ASIIMEAD, BOOK PRINTER, Nos. 1102 and 1104 Sansom Street. 18G8. > OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. CANCER—ELECTRICITY. Since tho days of Galen, about the commencement of tho Christian Era, cur knowledge of tho cause, nature and treatment of this very curious and fearful malady has remained unchanged. In those days cancer was treated by caustics, red hot irons, and the knife, but tho best informed then, as now, believed that no mode of treatment was satisfactory, and that when tho hard knotty-Iiko tumor, called scirrhus, made its appearance, the patient was doomed to die, sooner or later, of this fearful diseaso. Two thousand years havo passed without any promising improvement in tho chances of thoso who are attacked with true cancer, until philosophers and physi- cians of tho present century havo ascertained, by numberless experiments, that electricity is among tho most powerfully curativo influences which havo come under the control of modern practitioners. It has been successfully employed in tho removal of scrofulous and glandular tumors, tho correction of stiff and distorted joints, consequent on certain kinds of rheumatism, and quite recently, electricity administered in a particular manner, by skillful hands, has arrested tho progress of sumo cases of cancer in the last stages, and cured others. It has been stated in a recent publication, that electricity had been applied, in London, to the treatment of cancer, but had been generally given up, because it was so slow, in most instances, in affording relief, as if‘a slow remedy is not pre- ferable to >10 remedy. Besides, it may be surmised, that on somo points Americans know quite as much, and often a little more than tho good peoplo of London. In illustration, tho electric telegraph, city railways, naval monitors, sewing machines, silver ligatures, and etherization in surgery, Ac., may be instanced. Wo are led to theso remarks from having recently investigated somo cases of fearful cancer that havo come under our notice at tho Electrical Institute of Dr. S. W. Beckwith, No. 1220 Walnut street, in this city. We seldom refer to matters of this kind in our editorial columns, but when scientific investigations develop such new and astonishing discoveries, it is just that Scientific and medical men should bo made awaro of them, as well as assist suffering humanity.— The (Philadelphia) Press. NEW DISCOVERIES IN MEDICAL SCIENCE. Since the days of Ilyppocrates, twenty-two hundred years ago, comparatively little advancement has been made in medical scienco, until of late years. To Ilan- naman and his bold ideas are wo indebted for the first breaking of the bonds that fettered the medical world. But later still has another, equally strong, if not more important discovery, been made in the application of electricity as a means of curing disease. As every new thing has done, so has this gathered, through its power, a in iss of pretenders who claim to know all its laws, and to have discovered the secret of its mysterious workings : and the great trouble has been to select those from the great mass of pretenders who arc really competent, from a full knowledge and understanding of this new science, to apply it without the terrible effects fol- lowing mistaken applications. Wo learn from Dr. Beckwith, our leading and most successful operator, who has been pushing his experiments and investigations in all directions, within the last four years, in his examination of the medical properties of tho currents, that the greatest caro is necessary in its application to bring out its curative powers, and if proper strength of current, of the right quality and quantity, graduated each day to suit each of tho varied forms of disease, be applied, a most remarkable rango is attained by this remedy—a thousand remedies combined in one. Tho Doctor claims for it a scientific basis, upon which rests tho cause and removal of disease. He holds that health is sustained by this clement in its finer forms, such as tho nervous fluid and currents of the body which promoto digestion, circulation, Ac., and any derangement of these forces is caused by a loss of nerve- power, which is nothing moro or less than refined electricity, and from this springs disease. By proper applications this want of vitality can be increased, thus en- abling nature to throw off her bonds. Astonishing as it may seem, ho has tumors at his rooms that have been expelled from tho human body with no other aid than this powerful stimulating agent, and the patients restored to perfect health, though given up by the best physicians. The ordinary forms of disease, such as dyspepsia, liver complaint, neuralgias, rheumatisms, Ac., Ac., by his new process of applying the currents, are cured in a much shorter time than has ever been dono by the ordinary modes, as applied by electricians of tho day. Tho Doctor is a most successful and conscientious operator, and one who deals carefully with the lives and health of those placed in his hands, while his applica- tions are mild, freo from shocks or pain.— The (Philadelphia) Age. ELECTRICAL TREATMENT OF DISEASES. BY 8. W. BECKWITH. During more than a hundred years, since the year 1744, when a German physician, named Kratzenstein, reported that he had cured a case of paralysis of a finger by sparks drawn from a common electrical machine, intelligent men have zeal- ously sought the way (which they conjectured did exist), to cure diseases through the agency of Electricity. Every few years some new facts were added to those previously known, and although no one of them alone seemed to be important, in the aggregate they led men of more than ordinary knowledge and mental power to make discoveries in connection with Elec- tric force, until the numerous and various facts were system- atically arranged and constituted Electric Science. In Ger- many, France, Italy and England, as well as in the United States, while philosophers were investigating the source or cause of electric force and the laws which govern it, others were busy in devising machines to render it available in the treatment of diseases, especially those which involve disorder of the nerve-power, as palsies. The manifestations of nerve- force are, in the opinion of some, so analogous to the mani- festations of the electric force, that many were prepared to admit that the human organism is itself intrinsically, in its material constitution, merely a wonderfully complex electro- galvanic machine, in which tissues of different composition and density react on each other through the medium of the blood, and produce nervous or electrical manifestations, very much in the same manner as different metals through the medium of acid or saline solutions react on each other to produce gal- vanic electricity. Then, the idea was added that through the agency of nervous force thus generated all corporeal functions are carried on, until the organism breaks down through dis- turbance of the balance between the various parts, or the total destruction of some function essential to life, when the soul separates from the body. Many were the fruitless efforts made to control and direct electro-galvanic force in restoring equilibrium to the disturbed or disordered nerves; and also many were the surprising res- torations to health through this agency. But as knowledge of the laws which govern the various and many functions of 2 the body was increased, the application of Electricity in the treatment of disease became more apparent and more and more certain. In skillful hands the electric current has become a search- ing investigator, which speedily deterniines the seat of dis- ordered action in the body, and then is at once converted into an instrument for its correction. But only in skillful or in- structed hands is the efficacy of electric force made apparent in this sense. One who has not studied carefully, and long practiced the various modes of applying the currents, so that they shall be precisely adapted to the condition under examin- ation, will simply inflict pain and loss of time without any ad- vantage, whatever he may hope or promise to achieve. The application of Electricity in the treatment of diseases, needs time and a certain degree of manipulating skill, which special study and familiarity with the apparatus only can im- part. Medical practitioners, largely engaged in business, can- not give sufficient time tp apply electricity, although drilled in the use of the machine, even if it could be conveniently borne from house to house. But, such cases as may have failed to be relieved by the customary prescription, and be- come eligible, in their judgment, for electric treatment, will be better served, (it is submitted,) by one who devotes himself to the manipulation of the electro-galvanic and galvanic ap- paratus alone in their applications to the cure of disease, than by the practitioner who has had little or no experience in the use of these forces. In other words, the administration of Electricity is an art in itself as distinct from the practice or prescribing of medicine, as the preparation of drugs for ad- ministration to the sick by chemists and apothecaries. The undersigned will be pleased to administer Electricity in all its various forms for medical purposes to such patients as practi- tioners may do him the honor to confide to his electrical mani- pulation, administering either induced or direct currents, as the physician may prescribe. The treatment of diseases through the agency of electric forces, is not based on fallacious pretensions, nor is it put forth to cajole the afflicted to part with money without expectation or hope of returning, in services, an equivalent for it. It rests on experiment and careful observation by philosophical minds of the highest order both in Europe and this country. It is now recognized among the established means employed by scientific physicians of the highest reputation.* When * See, A Treatise on Therapeutics and Pharmacology. By George B. Wood, M.D., President of the College of Physicians, of Professor of the 3 properly applied no inconvenience or pain accompanies its use, nor is there a case recorded of any evil or disastrous effect re- sulting from it. But, on the contrary, very many patients, ■who have been abandoned to their fate by physicians who had no knowledge of the wonderful powers of electricity to modify the condition of the nervous system, without the agency of which system no vital function is performed, have been saved from death and restored to vigorous health, to the amazement of medical men and other witnesses. Recently, M. Ndlaton, a distinguished teacher of Surgery in Baris, read to the Academy of Sciences an essay on the mode of destroying tumors by Electricity, according to a method first proposed by Dr. Tiniselli, an Italian, and related how he had destroyed a polypus in the nose by six applications, without inflicting any suffering on the patient. In our hands very many such benign morbid growths have been removed by simi- lar means; and very many malignant tumors, described under the terms bleeding cancer, soft cancer, and hard cancer, have been promptly and radically cured. The malignancy of Cancer in all its various forms is well known, and no scientific surgeon regards it other than as a most afflicting and dreadful malady.

This fact seems to be overlooked by a great majority of medical practitioners as well as by the public generally. „ 4 never yielded to any other means. We refer to many who can testify to the truth of this assertion.* Scirrhus or Hard Cancer, may be known from other swellings by the strange hardness of the tumor, by its lancinating or darting pain, and also by the cancerous habit of body, known by the patient being languid and emaciated, with a leaden or wan complexion and a bad digestion. This form of disease rarely shows itself before thirty. It attacks the female breast and uterus, and also the testes of the male; and in either sex it may occur in the skin, stomach and liver. Soft Cancer, Bloody Cancer, Fungus Hgematodes, Encepha- loid disease are various terms applied to a disease which commen- ces as a soft, rounded, elastic Tumor, free from severe pain, and is attached to the surrounding parts with which it is blen- ded at its circumference. It grows rapidly and is full of blood, so that the skin covering it soon becomes purple, and the veins around it full and tortuous. After a time, throbbing pain is felt, but not nearly so severe as that of scirrhus. The tumor points and ulcerates, discharging a bloody fluid, and a fungus, which grows rapidly, shoots up from the opening, and from its surface a fluid is poured out, which is sometimes serum slightly stained with blood and pus, or sometimes blood itself in large quantities. Generally after the removal of scirrhus by the knife, this kind of disease shows itself. It may be known from scirrhus by the absence of hardness and darting pain, by its quicker growth and larger size, by its being more full of blood, and more inclined to bleed, and by its attacking persons of all ages. All forms of Cancer may be successfully treated by Elec- tricity. We have specimens of large growth brought away by our peculiar manner of operating, by Electricity, without the aid of the knife, ligatures, or any other means, which can be seen by those interested. See, also, certificates of cures by us. Indolent swellings and scrofulous enlargement of the glands of the neck are dissipated by the same agency. Fistula is a long narrow channel which has been left un- healed after the formation of an abscess. Fistula in Ano and Fistula in Perineo are of this kind. They are curable by Electric treatment. Diabetes,* or an immoderate flow of urine, which may be limpid, or sweet-tasting, containing sugar, sometimes in large * See page 307, New Remedies: with formulae for their administration By Robley Dunglison, M.D., Professor of the Institutes of Medicine, &c., in the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia.

Diabetes is attended with emaciation and general prostration of strength both bodily and mental, together with other symptoms of constitutional derangement. See certifi- cates in another part of this pamphlet. For the benefit of those proposing to undertake Electrical treatment, wTe give the following list of diseases most common to our practice, in all of which we are very successful. Those afflicted with diseases not here given, by application at our office or communicating by letter, stating the case fully, will receive a candid reply. Consultation free. 1. Diseases of the Brain and Nervous System.—Epilepsy, Chorea or St. Vitus’ Dance, Paralysis (Hemiplegia and Para- plegia), Neuralgia, Hysteria, Nervousness, Palpitation of the Heart, Lockjaw, &c., &c. 2. Organs and Tissues connected with the Digestive System. —Sore Throat, Dyspepsia, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Obstinate Constipation, Haemorrhoids or Piles, Bilious, Flatulent, and Painter’s Colic, and all affections of the Liver and Spleen. 3. Respiratory Organs.—Catarrh, Cough, Influenza, Asth- ma (when not caused by organic disease of the heart), Bron- chitis, Pleurisy, Pleurodynia or Bheumatism of the Chest, Consumption, in the early stages. 4. Fibrous and Muscular System.—Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Stiff Neck, Spinal Curvature, Hip Diseases, Can- cers, Tumors. 5. Urinary and G-enital Organs.—Gravel, Diabetes, and Kidney Complaints, Impotence and Seminal Weakness. The latter complaints never fail to yield rapidly to this treatment. 6. Diseases peculiar to Females.—Uterine Complaints, in- volving a mal-position, as Prolapsus, Anteversion, Retrover- sion, Inflammation, Ulceration, and various other affections of the Womb, and Ovaries, Painful, Suppressed, Scanty or Pro- fuse Menstruation, Leucorrhoea. Rigidity and contraction of the muscles following acute or chronic rheumatism; anchylosed or stiff joints resulting from inflammations; and even spinal deformities have yielded promptly to this subtle force, as medical records prove; but infallibility is not claimed for this, though more can be said in its favor than for any other remedy described in works on ma- teria medica. It succeeds very often after all other means have been industriously but vainly tried. In his “Treatise on Therapeutics and Pharmacology, or Materia Medica,” Professor George B. Wood, of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, classes Electricity among the diffusible stimulants, lie speaks of faridisation, that is, the employ- 6 ment of induced electricity, in the treatment of palsy of long duration after cerebral haemorrhage; palsy of the face and tongue; palsy of the spine; palsy from wounds; rheumatic palsy; hysterical palsy; lead palsy; muscular wasting from a general palsy or abatement of nervous power; palsy of the bladder; painful urination; incontinence of urine; impotence; palsy of the rectum; prolapsus or falling of the gut; “obsti- nate cases of prolapsus in children have been promptly cured by this treatment,” says Professor Wood; palsy of the larynx with loss of voice; loss of sensibility of the skin; amaurosis, or blindness from paralysis of the optic nerve; deafness from paralytic condition of the auditory nerve; loss of smell; loss of taste, and stammering, when dependent on debility of the musPles of the tongue ; conditions of general relaxation or torpor, as of the muscles ; dyspepsia ; torpid liver ; “ constipa- tion, dependent on inertia of the bowels, has often been treated advantageously by electricity amenorrhoea or suspension of menstrual flux; (Dr. Golding Bird, a distinguished London physician, states that he has never known Electricity to fail in exciting menstruation when the uterus was capable of per- forming that function); a cool, inactive state of the skin ; indolent ulcers ; neuralgias ; excessive cutaneous sensibility ; excessive sensibility of the muscles; sciatica, lumbago, pleuro- dynia, torticolles, especially when of a neuralgic or gouty character; hysteria; epilepsy; chorea, or St. Vitus’ dance ; spasmodic asthma; and aneurisms. He states that all these various forms of disease have been successfully treated by Elec- trization, and in many instances, almost as if by enchantment. ‘Various affections peculiar to women, are successfully man- aged by Electrization, administered by Mrs. Beckwith, who has had a large experience in hospitals and elsewhere. Physicians or students desiring to have instruction in the correct application of Electricity for the cure of disease, can apply at the office for terms, &c.- In conclusion, the reader is respectfully referred to the persons whose names are appended, as they have had an op- portunity to judge of the efficacy of Electricity on themselves. There is scarcely any form of chronic disorder which may not be cured, and therefore all who are afflicted are invited to apply for information to Dll. S. W.

Wo have succeeded in curing cases of acute and chronic Rheuma- tism, after all other means have utterly failed. Some have been of thirty-five years’ standing. In all cases of Inflammatory Rheumatism we effect a perfect cure in from one to four applications. Eheumatism Cured. West Philadelphia, August 27, 1864. Dr. S. W. Beckwith,—I had been afflicted with Rheumatism since April last, very severely, it extending over the entire body, causing the most excru- tiating suffering. For several months I was under the best medical care, but grew no better, and finally gave you a call, and placed myself under the care of your wife. In two weeks I was relieved of all pain, and am now perfectly well. I gladly recommend all ladies suffering to her care. Mrs. W. E. Rowan, West Philadelphia. Inflammatory Eheumatism Cured. Walnut Street, Philadelphia, April 30, 1865. I have been afflicted with Rheumatic pains for the last ten years, and have been treated for the same with perfect success by Dr. Beckwith. Joseph Collins. Inflammatory Eheumatism Cured. Philadelphia, Third and Chestnut Streets, Nov. 30, 1865. I have, for the last thirty-five years, had attacks of Inflammatory Rheuma- tism. A few days since I was again attacked with the same disease, which threatened me with a two months’ confinement to my bed, as it had always done previously, and learning of Dr. Beckwith’s Electropathic treatment of diseases applied to him, and in livo applications of ten minutes each was en- tirely cured. Lewis Pelouze, Type Founder. Eheumatism of Fifteen Years Standing Cured. Mill Creek, Pa., June 1, 1866. This is to certify that I have been suffering with rheumatism of the back (Lumbago), for the last fifteen years, at times so severely as to be unable to leave my bed for weeks at a time. Also for a long time—several years—I have been a great sufferer from Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Constipation, Catarrh, and a general nervous depression, all of which have been completely cured by Dr. Beckwith, 1220 Walnut Street, after repeated trials of the best physicians in the country. The length of time taken to effect it was one month. He claims Electricity to be a specific for such diseases as those With which I was afflicted, and I believe it to be so as he uses it. A. T. Stuart. Mill Creek, Huntingdon Co., Pa. In all the' schools of medicine Cancer has been considered incura- ble by any means. The knife, ligatures, or some other horrible pro- cess has been resorted to, but relief for a time only has been obtained. By our peculiar process no pain is given—plasters, blisters, cutting, ligatures, etc. etc., are entirely avoided, and by the natural processes of nature it is made to pass quietly away. We have had the most 8 terrioie cases under our care, some on the verge of the grave, that have been brought back to a perfect state of health. Remarks on Cancer will be found in another part of this pamphlet. Oancer of the Stomach Cured, Lewisburgh, Pa., Oct. 10, 1865. About four years since my health began to fail me. I was taken with a dis- tressing dizziness and lightness of the head, ringing of the ears, impaired vision, a great sinking, distressed feeling at the stomach, with pain, which in- creased to an almost unbearable condition, until finally it was with the great- est difficulty I could raise my head from the pillow, and I really despaired of my life. Medicines gave me some little relief, for a time, but it returned with increased force, and I gave up all hope. At this time my condition was truly pitiable. In the midst of my sufferings I learned of your wonderfully success- ful mode of applying electricity, through some of your patients, and concluded to try you as a last resort. An Electrical examination led to the belief that it was Cancer of the Stomach. Your frank assurance gave me hope, which two or three applications confirmed into a full belief that you would cure me, and the result has more than realized my highest anticipations. My dizzy, light, painful head, my sick, sinking, deathly feeling at the stomach, with its in- tensely full feeling, has all disappeared; other pains and aches throughout my system have been entirely removed, and I am now thankful to say that I am perfectly restored to health and a wonder to myself and friends. I most earn- estly recommend it to ladies as a most efficient remedy for all their diseases. The treatment has been very gentle, free from shocks or any unpleasant feeling whatever. Mrs. J. Y. Cumming, Kishieoquillas, Mifflin Co., Pa. Cure of Cancer in Three Weeks, McDonouoh P. 0., Newcastle Co., Del., Dec. 19, 1865. About the last week in June, 1865, I observed, for the first time, a tumor over the lower part of my breast bone, about the size of an almond. It in- creased in size, grew to be purple or dark red, irregular on the surface, which was divided into weals or welts by little furrows. My general health suffered and I lost flesh. The applications made to It were without avail; and by recommendation of 9 mv physician I came to Philadelphia and consulted one of its leading surgeons. He wrote to my physician, advising that no operation should be attempted, and that I should be kept ignorant that I was bearing about with me inevit- able death. This I learned some time after it was clear that I was recovering. Under such circumstances, a friend recommended a trial of Electric treatment by Dr. S. W. Beckwith, No. 1220 Walnut street. Philadelphia. The disease was called Bleeding Fungus or Soft Cancer. On Friday, November 17th, I began to be treated. On that day, the tumor measured four and one quarter and three and three-quarter inches by three inches in thickness. On the 24th day of November, just one week, the tumor was three-quarters of an inch smaller, the redness was not so deep, and the soreness was almost gone. At the end of the third week, December 8th, the tumor had disappeared, there was merely a slight redness where it had been. I had gained twenty-five pounds of flesh, was hopeful, and felt as well as I ever did. Now, December 19, the thirty-second day since the commencement of Electric treatment, I am perfectly relieved and, as I believe, perfectly freed from a malignant disease which, by distinguished medical gentlemen who saw it, was considered to be incurable and fatal. I am fifty-two years old, reside at McDonough Post Office, in the State of Delaware, and follow the trade of blacksmith. For the benefit of those who may be afflicted in like manner, I make this statement and authorize its publication. John Kirkpatrick. Absorption of a Tumor weighing1 eleven pounds. 1846 Hamilton Street, Philadelphia, November 17, 1864. Dr. S. W. Beckwith,—Sir: With the feelings of intense and unbounded gratefulness that are in my heart for the inexpressible relief bestowed upon me at your establishment, you must permit me to give them some expression,—at least in a statement of my case, for the benefit of other sufferers like myself. Eight years since I was taken with a severe pain in my right side, with shooting pains all over the abdomen, which continued with more or less in- termission for a number of years, without being able to discover the cause. Some three years since an enlargement of the abdomen began, developing an ovarian tumor in a short time of immense size, filling the whole abdominal cavity, and weighing not less than eleven pounds. The whole pelvic viscera became so inllamed and painful that the weight of my clothes even became in- tolerable, and but a touch or pressure from the hand was unbearable. The immense weight, sustained so long, finally produced such great weakness that an attempt to stand would cause sickness, dizziness and fainting, until 1 was finally unable either to lie down, sit or stand without pain, and life became almost intolerable. Medical skill could not aid me, and 1 had almost given up in despair when I was providentially directed by a lady friend to your Electri- cal Institute on the 24th of September last. I began treatment with your ex- cellent lady operator, Mrs. S. A. Fulton, who almost immediately relieved me of all pain and soreness, formerly so troublesome. Shortly the enlargement began to diminish, and now, with but two treatments a week since September last, 1 am entirely relieved. The full particulars of my recovery, though not appropriate to give in this statement, can be had of Mrs. Fulton by any one desiring information. I also had a very severe bronchial difficult}' and nervous affection, both of which have also been entirely relieved by electricity. The applications have been very pleasant, no pain or shock having been ex- perienced from them at any time. During the course of treatment I met several ladies at the Electrical Institute afflicted as I was, who are all getting better or are entirely relieved. I shall ever be grateful for my release from pain and suffering through Mrs. Fulton’s instrumentality and kindness, and shall ever pray for your success in relieving suffering humanity. Gratefully yours, Frances Gotwalls, Teacher in Primary School, 16th St., above Vine. August 3, 1866.—Nearly two years have passed since my cure by Mrs. Ful- ton, (now Mrs. Beckwith,) and I find myself in perfect health, and able to attend to my school duties with perfect ease. F. G. 10 Any derangement of the Kidneys calls for immediate attention on the part of the patient. The following certificate will give some idea of the suffering involved, and the power that Electricity has in con- trolling the disease: Severe Case of Diabetes. # Odessa, Delaware, Jan. 11, 18G6. Dr. S. W. Beckwith,—Dear Sir: Permit me to express, in this informal manner, my appreciation of your high professional ability as exemplified in your attention to me personally while under your treatment of Electricity. I consider that I have been rescued from the grave by your valuable remedies. I cannot but express my sincere thanks, and assure you of my best wishes for your success. My trouble was an old chronic and complicated mass of diseases, such as liver disease, diabetes, gravel, ulcerated kidneys and bladder, of nearly twenty years’ standing. In August, 1846, I was attacked with the bilious fever. I was for several months confined to my bed and room before I could get any relief, but never entirely recovered from the attack. During my sickness was the first I felt of a disorganization of my urinary organs. I was attacked with something like the diabetes; my physician checked it; but im- mediately followed a difficulty in urinating, which continued to grow worse and worse all the time, notwithstanding I have employed four of the best physicians I could get in the neighborhood, but without the slightest benefit. I was then attacked with the most excruciating pain in my kidneys, then fol- lowed the gravel; my suffering became inexpressible; words are entirely in- adequate to express what I suffered; not a moment, day or night, had I rest, except when I was asleep, and that only when nature was completely ex- hausted. At that time, if I took the least exercise, particularly riding, my discharges would be nearly all blood, which was very painful; then followed ulcerations of the kidneys and bladder, with the most awful discharges of mu- cus and matter during the night and I presume as much during the day, for I had a constant desire to urinate both day and night, attended with the greatest diffi- culty in the discharge of my urine and with the most intense pain. Finding no relief from our physicians, l then employed a physician in your city but with no better success. I then saw advertisements from physicians both in New York and Philadelphia. I wrote to both of them stating my difficulties and sufferings, but received no encouragement from either of them, supposing they considered my case incurable. I then saw your advertisement in one of the Philadelphia papers. I then applied to you, and oh I had I words to ex- press the gratitude I feel towards you for the great amount of suffering you have relieved me of. I feel that you have snatched me out of the very jaws of death. Notwithstanding my great relief I do not consider myself entirely cur#d; but could I have continued with you a short time longer, I am satis- fied I would have been entirely cured before this. I have no suffering now to note, no discharges of this mucus and matter that I have had for years. I am so well satisfied with your mode of treatment, and the power and force of Elec- tricity over all kinds of diseases, that as soon as I can arrange my affairs, I will be up for you to make a perfect cure of me. I remain, dear sir, yours with the highest regard, Jacob Vandegrift. By reference to the previous pages of this work, the reader will find all that is necessary to be said upon Paralysis. It is among the most difficult of diseases to cure, but we are enabled by our recent investigations and discoveries in Electric Science to effect cures very rapidly when they have been considered to be beyond all hope of recovery. 11 Paralysis of the Left Side (Hemiplegia) Cured in Three Weeks. Philadelphia, August 7, 1866. Having been cured of Paralysis of one side of my face and part of the left side, by Dr. Beckwith, 1220 Walnut street, I make the statement of it here for the benefit of others suffering in like manner. The attack came on suddenly; my speech was greatly affected; the left side of my face dropped down upon my lower jaw, with no control whatever over the facial muscles; the left eye was partially blind; the left arm and portion of the left side was more or less affected. My mind was also affected to the ex- tent that I could not well remember or find words to express myself in con- versation. Any one having paralysis in which the brain is involved will know my sensations well. My nervous system was entirely broken down. The first application relieved me very much, and I found my speech much improved, and with every succeeding one, I could perceive a marked change for the bet- ter in all my symptoms. In less than three weeks, with but sixteen applica- tions, there was not a trace of my disease left—the paralysis being entirely cured, and nerves perfectly restored. It gives me pleasure to recommend any case of Paralysis to Dr. Beckwith, as I fee! satisfied of their restoration to perfect health by his means, if it is within human power to accomplish it. Yours respectfully, G. T. Boulden, Firm of Boulden & Co., No. 36 South Water street. There are so many forms of Dyspepsia that it is impossible to enu- merate them here. Suffice it to say, that no remedy so quickly restores strength, tone and vigor as Electricity. It invariably gives relief, and in almost all cases effects a radical cure. All nervous affections arc very readily controlled by this agent, if in proper hauds, but if wrongly applied it is worse than useless, absolutely harmful. Our failures in these diseases will not average one in one hundred. In fact we consider it a specific for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Nerv- ous Prostration, and the like. Dyspepsia and Nervous Debility Cured. 329 S. Juniper Street, Philadelphia, Nov. 15, 1865. A number of years since, being very actively engaged in business (manu- facturing of cotton goods), my nervous system became very greatly exhausted, followed by various symptoms, each one adding others, until I found a long catalogue of ills, such as great dizziness of the head, reeling sensation upon looking up, severe headache, sick stomach, a morbidly diseased appetite, in- tense craving for food, costiveness, with great pain and soreness in the stom- ach, palpitation of the heart so severe that I could hardly get my breath, un- usual restlessness of the whole system, especially at night, inability to sleep, continuous coughing for days at a time, numbness of the whole body, with cold, chilling sensations, &c., &c. Such a complication of troubles I con- sidered beyond the cure of man, and my feelings amounted almost to despair at the time of meeting with your advertisement in one of the daily papers. Of course it took years for this complication of diseases to fasten itself upon my system, but it was all the surer for its gradual inroads on my health. I ap- plied to you, and to my utter surprise—and I must say doubt of your ability to master so stubborn a case—you told mo you could cure me. I ventured upon the trial. In one single week one-half my symptoms left; in two weeks I was comparatively well, my nerves strong, appetite regular and healthy, dizzi- ziness gone, and now I am a well man, strong and hearty, and though fifty years of age, feel young in years again. I can honestly and heartily recommend all dyspeptics, nervous people, or 12 any one troubled with any of my complaints to visit the Doctor, for he cat. cure any one afflicted with any of my diseases when he can cure me of all of them. I can heartily recommend the afflicted to his care. E. McClain. Dyspepsia cured in Seven Days Treatment. Philadelphia, March 1, 1866. During my connection with the army of the Potomac, I contracted disia-e ia the form of Dyspepsia of the worst character, from the severe diet which necessity compelled me to undergo. With it were the usual accompaniments, of that disease, such as great dizziness, palpitation of the heart, flatulence, indigestion, constipation, sluggish liver, &c., &c. I had also been suffering a long time with a catarrhal difficulty of the head, which had become very troublesome. Applying to Dr. Beckwith for advice and treatment he re- moved all my difficulties in seven applications, and I am glad to say once again that I am well. I believe he can cure any case of the kind, however severe, if they only have the physical strength to reach his rooms. Robert G. Wilson, Lieut., V. R. C. Case of Bronchitis, Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Piles and Constipation Cured. Fox Lake, Wisconsin, July 3, 1865. Dr. Beckwith,—Dear Sir: I hardly know how to express, in fitting terms, to you my gratitude and thanks for your restoring me to such per.ect health as I now enjoy. For five years past my health has been in a precarious con- dition, and, especially within the past year, I have been very greatly troubled with Bronchitis, Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Piles and Constipation, the latter especially to an alarming extent, and producing other troubles, which multiplied so greatly that I despaired of ever recovering my health. I had tried medicines and physicians in numbers, and all to no benefit, and when all had been tried and failed I accidentally met with your advertisement in a Philadelphia paper which had strayed to our village in Wisconsin. Your statements bore the impress of candor and truthfulness, and I determined to try once more. The result you know. I am now well and hearty, weighing more than I have done for a long time, and I thank Electricity—and you, as a means of Providence in restoring me. Your mode of treatment is certainly original and scientific, and from all I heard and saw of its effects while with you must say I never saw its equal, as administered by you, in all the medi- cines of other physicians combined. Accept my sincere and grateful thanks for my restoration to health, and may you be as successful in all other cases of suffering humanity. With kindest regards, yours truly, R. J. Robertson. Consumption, that fell destroyer of thousands, is nearer finding its master in this agent than in any other. The decomposing, alterative, stimulating power of Electricity is acknowledged by physicians to he beyond that of any inediciue, and that is one reason of our great suc- cess in the cure of Cancer. In tubercle of the lungs, it absorbs the secretions, purifies the blood of tuberculous matter, decomposes and changes the material of the diseased cellular tissue into healthy for- mations. One-half the cases of Bronchitis and Consumption arise from Catarrahl affections of the head, the inflammation spreading to the throat aud main bronchi, producing a chronic character of Bron- chitis, spreading thence to the lungs, and inducing inflammation and ulceration of those organs, which end the weary life of the patient. The other half arises from Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, and the like. 13 Consumption Cured. Richmond, September 28, 1864. This is to certify that about three years ago I was taken with a disease which physicians called Consumption. I had a cough, hoarseness, spit blood, and became very much reduced. Was under the care of five physicians, and have taken a great deal of medicine without relief. In this condition I called at No. 1220 Walnut street. After an electrical examination was pronounced curable, and under the skillful treatment of Dr. Beckwith, am nearly entirely relieved of disease, and expect after a few more treatments, to be entirely re- stored to health. I recommend all afflicted to go to No. 1220 Walnut street. Solomon May Case of Dyspepsia, Scrofula, Bronchitis, and Catarrh of Pive Years Standing. Mount Hqlly, N. J., April 6, 1865. Dr. S. W. Beckwith,—Dear Sir: Below I have written you a statement which you are perfectly welcome to use in any manner you may wish. Very truly yours, R. A. Semple. Having been troubled with Dyspepsia for four or five years past, so much so in fact, that I could not eat anything without more or less headache, and being a subject also of Scrofula and a Bronchial affection, with Catarrh, which was slowly but surely undermining my nervous system, and having tried nu- merous remedies without any relief whatever, finally applied last winter to Dr.,B., who, in less than six weeks, by means of Electricity, entirely eradi- cated Scrofula from my system, and relieved all my symptoms of Dyspepsia, Bronchitis and Catarrh, and I must certainly recommend him to the afflicted. R. A. Semple, Mount Holly, Burlington Co., New Jersey. Piles of Porty Years standing, with fistula. Cured. Brooklyn, L. I., April 27, 1866. This is to certify that I have been a great sufferer with Piles for forty years, which, from exposure and the nature of the service to which I belong, pro- duced Fistula, and for about one year past my sufferings have been excessive, when about four or five weeks since I was so fortunate as to be recommended to Dr. Beckwith, 1220 Walnut Street, and by his judicious treatment with electricity, he has not only cured the Piles, but has entirely removed the Fistula. It gives me pleasure to state that I shall ever feel that I owe him my heartfelt gratitude. John C. Carter, Commander, U. S. Navy, 130 Hicks Street, Brooklyn. Dyspepsia of Twenty-five Years standing cured in Three Weeks. Western National Bank of Baltimore, June 15, 1866. This is to certify that I have been a sufferer from Dyspepsia in one of its worst forms and a martyr to the most awful attacks of Sick Headache the past twenty-five years. Recently these attacks of headache became of almost daily occurrence. 1 became so much debilitated by them, and my whole nervous system so much shattered, that the truth stared me in the face that I must either get some relief or be compelled to give up my employment upon which I have to rely for the support of my family. I was urged by friends who had been relieved of similar affections to apply to Dr. S. W. Beckwith, Medical Electrician, No. 1220 Walnut Street, Philadelphia* I placed myself in his care without much hope of relief. After the first visit I felt better than I have done for many years, and continued to improve and to gain flesh and strength daily during the three weeks I remained in his care. During the 14 first application he told me my spleen was very much diseased and enlarged from constant attacks of bilious fever when a child, and that my liver was also diseased, and that electricity would cure me in two or three weeks. He has verified lii3 promise, and I have returned home perfectly well and strong, and feel that I am improving every day. Gratitude to Dr. Beckwith for his kind- ness to me while I was with him, and an earnest desire that all others who are suffering as I have done may get relief has impelled me to write this un- solicited statement of my disease and cure. Chas. II. Hammond. We see no reason why almost every case of Hemorrhoids should not be cured. All cases are not relieved as soon as the one given below, but we have cases cured who have been afflicted for forty-five years. They generally arise from a diseased state of the liver and from constipation, all of which are subject to Electricity as applied by us. Obstinate Piles Cured in Three Applications. Philadelphia, Nov. 25, 1865. Some time since I had a very severe attack of Hemorrhoids, or Piles, which produced a most intensely agonizing pain and dragging sensation throughout the whole pelvic region, and especially at the lower extremity of the spine, as though it were dislocating every joint and rending every nerve and muscle of the parts. Night or day I could find no rest, and was nearly distracted with my sufferings. Nothing afforded relief. Finally, after a great deal of suffer- ing, I was urged by my daughter, who was under Mrs. B.’s care, to go to Dr. Beckwith for his peculiarly effective mode of treating such diseases as mine, and to him 1 applied. He assured me that in ten minutes I would be com- paratively free from pain. He fulfilled his promise, for in ten minutes all the depressing, bearing-down pain in my back was gone, and I could walk with perfect freedom. The next morning there was some return of the pain, but he instantly relieved it, and after the third application I was entirely cured. For the benefit of those afflicted as I was I give this statement. My residence is No. 1327 Front street, Philadelphia, and business the manufacturing of cotton and woolen goods. Wit. Rowbotham. Lumbago and Dyspepsia of Ten Years. Chesapeake City, Cecil Co., Md., July 16, 1866. I have been afflicted with Lumbago and Dyspepsia for the last ten years, and have never been free from it since first taken; lately have been very much worse, and hardly able to walk. I came to Dr. Beckwith a few months since, and in less than three weeks was entirely cured. Since my treatment I have been perfectly well, and am satisfied it is a perfect restoration. Any one desiring information can have it by applying to the above address. Chas. A. Bryan. As heretofore stated, all cases of G-eneral Debility arising from diseases of nerves or exhaustion of nerve power from diseased organs, are readily restored to health. It can be adapted to the weakest organism, inflicts no pain, is pleasant and agreeable, producing imme- diately an exhileration and flow of spirits, where before depression, languor and despondency existed. Nervous Prostration Cured. Line Lexington, Montgomery Co., Pa., Jan. 13, 1866. Dr. Beckwith,—My Dear Sir: I write to say that now I have been in the country over one year, since, broken down and sick, I left my pastorate in your 15 city. I feel devoutly thankful to God and to you for my wonderfully improved condition. My friends are astonished at the change, no less than myself. I look and feel like a new man. My heart has not pained or troubled me a mo- ment since you gave me my last treatment. I only wish all the suffering knew of your skill and success; and could I do so, I would be glad to pro- claim it to the ends of the earth. If any are incredulous send them to me, and I feel sure I can convince them of the wonderful power and virtue of Elec- trical treatment for the thousand ills humanity is heir to. Your sincere friend and brother in Christ, N. B. Baldwin, Late Pastor of the Olivet Baptist Church, Philadelphia. General Debility of the Nervous System. Philadelphia, Third and Market Streets, Jan. 15, 1866. About five years since began a weakening process of body and nervous system generally, causing giddiness of the head, palpitation of the heart, liver complaint, inflamed kidneys, enlargement of the spleen, dyspepsia, lumbago, with various other kindred diseases that follow a general exhaustion of the nervous system. I became emaciated and dispirited, and, finally, after trying various of the best physicians noted for treating such cases as mine, made up my mind that I was becoming a fit subject for consumption. I applied to Dr. Beckwith, when I began immediately to improve in health, strength and spirits, and am now about free from all my old difficulties, effected solely through his system of applying Electricity. While under his treatment, I saw many wonderful evidences of his success, especially some remarkable cases of Cancer, given up by the best physicians in the city as hopeless, which he cured during my attendance upon him, which alone speaks volumes in favor of his new discoveries. A. L. Whiteman, of the firm of Geo. W. Hickman & Co. Nervous Prostration cured. 433 Vine St., Philadelphia, August 1, 1866. For the last two years I have been most grievously afflicted with nervous prostration of the whole system, owing to various derangements of the diges- tive and other organs, and for the last nine months I had almost given up hope of cure, to such an extent had my various complaints reduced me. A short time since I applied to Mrs. Beckwith, who in two weeks relieved me of all my worst symptoms, and at the expiration of seven weeks I find myself entirely re- stored to health, to the amazement of myself and friends. Ladies desiring any special information can apply at my residence, as above. Mrs. Elizabeth Sailor. . Germantown, Oct. 22, 1864. Dr. S. W. Beckwith,—This is to certify that I have been suffering from a complication of diseases, which baffled the skill of medical men in Philadel- phia and this city. After suffering great pain and inconvenience from my diseases, and hearing of the many cures performed by you, by means of Electricity, I concluded to place myself under your care, and after having had about eleven Electrical treatments applied by Mrs. Beckwith, am entirely relieved of disease, and re- stored to my former good health. I recommend your treatment to the dis- eased. No matter what the complaint may be, go to 1220 Walnut street and be cured. S. Vickrey. Severe ease of Catarrh cured. Port Jervis, N. Y., October, 1864. Dr. Beckwith,—Dear Sir: While on a visit among your friends at Port Jervis, N. Y., I met you, and at the time being very severely afflicted with a 16 Bronchial and Catarrhal affection, I applied to you for relief. Though only on a visit you consented, and in a single application my head was completely cleared, and I breathed freely through my nostrils for the first time for many months. In fact I thought myself unable at the time, to live more than a few days, fearing a death by suffocation. You were the means of my cure, and and also the mean3 of much good to many of my friends, for which I earn- estly thank you, and can also sincerely recommend the practice as applied by you to all catarrhal affections and any derangement of the digestive organs. C. D. Cooper. August 1, 1866. It is now two years since my cure, and I am still in perfect health. C. D. Cooper. Ulcerated Bowels, Dyspepsia, Orchitis, &c. cured. No. 257 Market Street, Phila., July 10, 1866. Dr. Beckwith,—Dear Sir: In endeavoring to express to you my thanks for restoring me to Ihe health which I now enjoy, I must cheerfully make the fol- lowing statement: For the last five years I have been suffering with an affection of the Kidneys, Bladder, Spleen and Liver, adding to the above complication of diseases, which had reached a chronic shape, Ulcerated Bowels. I was also treated for a number of years past by three eminent physicians for acute Orchids, arid suf- fering to the extent of being confined to bed for as much as twelve days at a time, and only received temporary relief. Of this I am entirely cured. I was induced through my friend of the firm of Geo. W. Hickman k Co., corner Third and Market Streets, who was similarly afflicted, to try you. On the day I made application at your office, 1220 Walnut Street, I was perfectly wild, my bowels being moved as much as fifteen times in a day, passing blood and matter; in short I was almost a fit subject for a mad house. After a course of treatment of eight or nine weeks I am again attending to my business as usual. In making this statement I trust it may meet the eye of some of my friends and acquaintances in central Pennsylvania, who may be afflicted with any disease, no matter in what shape it maybe, and I beg to assure the public that they can be cured by taking the Doctor’s mode of treatment. If any one doubting this to be my statement, let them call either at my place of business, 257 Market Street, or at my residence, 616 Franklin Street, and I shall be too happy to give them all the satisfaction they may want. With much respect to you, Doctor, I am very truly yours, &c., William Holtzworth. Spermatorrhoea, or Seminal Emissions. This is one of the most frightful of diseases, in- its effects on the human system, both in body and mind. Were they, cases that could be published we could fill volumes with examples of such wretchedness, woe and suicide that have come under our treatment, as would appall - those who are neglecting this dreadful disease. Loss of memory, sleeplessness, sleep disturbed by dreams, dyspepsia, constipation, piles, catarrh, weakness of the limbs, weak back, derangement of the urinary organs, rheumatism, nervousness, prostration, melancholy, the mind filled with all kinds of fearful misgivings are but a few of its direct results. It is sufficient here to say that it is brought into subjection by the power of Electricity, though beyond the reach of medicines. All consultations private. NEURALGIA, in all its forms, as well as all kinds of nervous affec- tions, arc very easily controlled by the electric currents. The following is from our townsman, Mr. E. A. Marshall, who was tho originator of tho operas at Washington, New York, and Boston, tho mental labor and ex- citement of which induced his disease. Neuralgia of Fifteen Tears Standing Cured. . 517 S. Ninth St., Philadelphia, Sept. 24, 1SC7. Somo fifteen years since, from an over-taxing of tho brain, through mental nnxicty and cxcessivo labor, a general neuralgic condition of tho system was in- duced, of a most excruciatingly painful character, exhausting entirely my physical strength, and prostrating all my energies. My limbs, head, arms and back were severally or collectively attacked with the spasms of pain, producing swellings that were agonizing. My business was given up, and attention turned to my cure, but for fifteen years my efforts proved unavailing, until I was directed to Dr. Beckwith, by Mr. Stevenson, Sixth and Market streets, of this city, who had been cured of chrocio rheumatism by him. In a very short time I began to experience that re- lief under Dr. B.’s hands that I had sought, and failed for fifteen 3-ears previously to find from other physicians, and in a few weeks I was entirely cured. It is now two years since my health was restored, and my nerves aro still as strong as when I passed from under tho Doctor’s hands. For all neuralgic and nervous complaints I believe ctcctricity, as administered upon Dr. Beckwith’s principles, to bo alwaj-s and entirely reliable, and painless in its application. E. A. Marshall. Chronic Rheumatism Cured. Philadelphia, Sept. 4, 18G7. This is to certify that three months since I was cured of Chronic Rheumatism, often years’ standing, by Dr. S. W. Beckwith, after five applications of electricity. I found tho applications free from shocks, pain, or any unpleasant sensation what- ever, and I can conscientiously recommond electricity, as ho applies it, for that disease. John M. Mitchell, No. 508 North Fifth Street. White Swelling’. Philadelphia, Sept. 4, 1807. Some two years since I was afflicted with a White Swelling, of a most excru- ciating painful character, originating from a bruise upon the knee. The knee itself swelled to tho sizo of my head; tho whole limb became highly inflamed; tho muscles greatly contracted; tho spine affected, and the whole system became more or less involved from prostration and loss of sleep. For weeks I suffered a thou- sand deaths, and was finally carried to Dr. Beckwith’s, by recommendation of a friend. My physicians had pronounced it inflammatory rheumatism, but Dr. B.’s electrical examination proved it to be an inflammation of tho bones, caused by tho bruiso received. It is sufficient here to say ho gave mo tho use of my limb, and my health is perfectly restored. Had it not been for him I am fully satisfied I should have lost my leg. J. Tv,. Bancroft, 330 Market Street Sciatic Rheumatism Cured. Philadelphia, January 1, 1865. Dr. Beckwith.—Dear Sir: I write this statement without your knowledge, its I feel a strong sympathy for all who suffer as I have dono with Sciatica. I tried nearly all remedies for a long time, but none gave mo relief until I placed myself under your care; and with tho aid of your Electric Battery, combined with great skill, you cured mo of this terrible nervous affection in a few applications. I may state, in conclusion, that I believe the Electrical process is unerring and infalliblo in the diagnosis of all diseases. Respectfully, Wii. BkotheuheAd, Librarian, 205 S. 13th Street. Hundreds of other cases, of all classes of disease, might bo oited, hut the foregoing will suffice. For special cases, by applying at the office personally, or by letter, information will be cheerfully given. All con- sultations free. REFERENCES.
