The man who proved
covering that Electricity
D J2ockeielkr, and
JOHN FRANCIS BYRNES.
Atlantic City, N.J.-Jno. D. Rockefeller offers a million dollars to the man who will give him a healthy stomach. He made that offer to a doctor who called upon him, saying that it would be worth a million to him if could fix his stomach up so that it would digest his food.
"A million dollars for a healthy stomach John D. Rockefeller.
, "I accept the offer, and will forfeit £1.000 if I fail to effect the cure." Dr. McLaughlin. a This looked to me like material for an interesting story, which led me to Dr. McLaughlin's
offices for more particular details.
The first greeting from the doctor convinced me that I had met a man of convictions, and strong ones. The doctor was enthusiastic over what he terms a long-sought opportunity, and entered gleefully into a discussion of the subject.
is I would like to accept that offer," said the doctor. "I think I can earn it, and, farther, I believe that no medicine on earth in the shape of a drug will do what Mr. Rockefeller wants done, simply because there is no vitality in the secretive glands of his stomach, i e and until he gets that vitality, which no drug can give him, he will never be cured
' "Just understand one point clearly: His food does not digest because certain functions related to digestion are powerless to act. They are weak, incapable of doing what Nature intended. You see that. Now you can see that to set him right you must revive the strength in the parts which are weak. That is plain. Drugs will not do that. They, never did, and
<*/' they never will; and every doctor on earth knows it."
"What will do it, then? Electricity!"
1 . "I would pay £1,000 this minute to see John D. Rockefeller walk into this office and permit
me to tell him what I can do for him," said the doctor. "I am as certain that I can build up his digestive apparatus as I am that I have done the same thing for hundreds of others. His case is not incurable by my method, and I would consider my fortune made
if he would but grant me a trial.
"What is my method? The restoration of vitality nothing more. To appreciate what , I am going to say, you will have to understand that it is now generally conceded by medical men that the motive energy of human organs-the force which keeps the heart pulsating, the stomach digesting, and the brain scheming-is Electricity.
, " "Two years ago, Professor Loeb, recognised as a high authority, and who has recently
been engaged by the University of California, stated that he had discovered, after ten years of studious research, that electricity is the basis of human vitality
44 "Just glance at this book of mine, written in 1896, and read what I say in the introduction." a ''
H I took the open book from the doctor's hand, and readers anticipate still greater results from my efforts toward demonstrating the truth of mv lifelong claim that "'Electricity' is the basis of all animal vitality, and without it we could not live." 8 for 64 my mTmS Claim that
"That indicates that my discovery was years ahead of Professor Loeb," continued the doctor, but I claim no credit for that. I did not discover that nil

developed the theory until now it is a proven fact."
- -' In another part of his book Dr. McLaughlin gives a more comprehensive solution of the
heat problem than that advanced by Professor Loeb. Dr. McLaughlin says:
a J. "The food that we eat is treated as fuel by the stomach, just as is the coal in a furnace. The chemical action which is produced upon the food by the acids and juices of the stomach ' ' Trorns the food and causes a carbonic heat. This heat is electricity, and it is forced into
the nerves and vital organs, and is their life."
~ 'as ' Further, Dr. McLaughlin says-The electrical heat generated by the consumption of '"> our food should keep healthy every vital organ of the body. Exhaustion of the vital organs 7 arises when the waste is greater than the repair-when the stomach is not able to generate
sufficient electrical heat to supply the demands of Nature.
"This excessive waste is due to over-taxation of the vital forces by hard work mentally, "grief or worry, extra physical exertion, severe fevers, such as typhoid or malaria, Which
drain away the vitality, and leave the system run down." '
'-<.'. age-W, here is where Dr. McLaughlin passes beyond the period covered by Professor Loeb,
and shows how this vital electricity which is the basis' of life, may be replaced in the body
when lost by the causes producing prostration. ,
, J. He says "When the stomach is not able to generate sufficient of this energy to supply, the demands, of the vital organs,- the natural result is lowering of nerve, organic, and mus-
cular power-a general break-down. Then an artificial agent must be used to assist the stomach. That agent is Dr. McLaughlin's Electric Belt.

'" BtpmaçXin four months, he to wear my appliance for six hours each day or night during that - time. And he may be the sole judge as to the results obtained." . ' , ' "How about Mr. Rockefeller's offer of a million dollars, doctor?"
; ( "That is a secondary matter. I want it, of course, but not for my own use, as I don't < need it, and a million dollars wouldn't increase my happiness one quiver. I would much
rather have the satisfaction of seeing my invention successful in curing a case where so many 'noted physicians have failed. When a man has devoted the greater part of his life to the development of an idea which he thinks will benefit humanity he is passionately fond of his
idea, and money holds little fascination for him."
' .' "What would you do with the money, doctor?"
, ? "If I should earn the prize I would gladly consent to having it go to some public charity,
which I would reserve the right to name." -i s '- "And the £1,000 which you offer?"
"On the day that Mr. Rockefeller agrees to use my treatment and observe my simple instructions I will put up my certified cheque for the amount, to be paid to any public 'charity which he may designate if he says that I have failed in my work."
'*" wa"Then you leave the matter entirely in his hands?" " , .
? "Entirely. I am willing to trust to his decision."
. - - "A great many wealthy men are suffering tortures and closing themselves with drugs
without relief who never try a remedy like mine because they impose entire confidence in j their family physicians who believe that electricity is a remedy for the future, not of to '-day and so advise their patients." . - "
"Is it true, doctor, that your patients are mostly people of the middle or poorer class?"
"Yes; when a rich man is sick he calls in his doctor, who writes a prescription and looks wise, and the rich man has confidence that he will be well to-morrow. He feels better, perhaps, because the doctor can fool Nature for a while. But after a while the doctor looks " wise, and it doesn't do the rich man any good, and the first thing he knows nature demands a "cher price; and he has to pay it, as the doctor can help him no more.
-a, ' When a poor man gets sick, he does the same way, but he soon gets tired of the doe" * lady's hills, and takes his case in his own hands and comes to me. I cure him with Electricity,
and that is why my patients are usually poor men. rich men's doctors will not
let them come to me. .
"You cannot possibly estimate the true import of this discovery of Professor Loeb,"
said Dr. McLaughlin. It means more happiness to the civilised race than has followed any, ' discovery for years. It will bring about the general recognition of the great possibilities which exist in the application of electricity for the preservation of the vigor of youth.
"I have for years contended that old age was nothing but the freezing of the blood when there was no longer sufficient vital heat in the body to keep the blood warm and the organs active have said that years did not cause, decay, and proven it by citing cases where some men have been made vigorous under my rejuvenating treatment at 80, while you have examples all about of men who are old and decrepit at 60.
Now, Professor Loeb says that the animal heat is Electricity. That I know to be true.. We get that heat from the chemical action of the acids and juices of the stomach upon your food. That is combustion. This combustion produces carbonic heat, and carbonic beat is Electricity. That is the basis of life in every vital organ. As long as the stomach is able to generate enough of this heat to replenish the wear and tear upon our vital energies we are strong and active. It is when the stomach, finds the strain too heavy
that we grow old and begin to decay.
i "One old fellow, a patient of two years previous, came to see me one day, and asked me to have his belt overhauled, as he wanted to put it on again. I reminded him that he had reported himself as cured two years before, and I didn't see the need of the belt now. Pre-caution,' said he. 'I was cured two years ago, strong and sound, but I am seventy-one years of age, and am not as well able to stand knocking about as I was in my youth, and I wear the belt occasionally, not because of present need, but just so that I will have strength to spare in case of demand. If you are riding a bicycle on level ground and see p. hill before you what do you do ? Put on more steam, eh! I am getting older every day; jSnd I need more steam. That is why I wear my belt.
This is upon the same principle that an engine pulls a train of cars uphill. On level road it goes easily, but when it goes up hill the strain is heavy, and your engine, making power from burning coal, just as your stomach makes it from burning your food, is taxed beyond its limit, is unable to go farther, and, exhausting all its steam in the effort, breaks
down.
- -"The human body is just like that engine. It breaks down when the physical energy is overtaxed. That energy is electricity. I have here a means of replenishing the electri-
city of the body, and that is the basis of my treatment.
"Decay in old men is similar to functional exhaustion in younger men. Years have nothing to do with it. In each case it is the failure of the stomach to generate sufficient energy to supply the demands made by the vital organs.
"How quickly we fail when the stomach fails to digest the food! That shuts off the supply of energy. > i I I at
"One decrepit old man of 75 had in youth been a blacksmith. After using my appliance the took up his tools, and says be can work as hard as he did at 35. He says he is an old
man made young.
"Another, who was a wreck at 49, and said that he had been so for twenty years, was cured, and three years later undertook the severe hardships of a trip to the Klondike. He returned a few months ago, and said that he had stood the terrible privations better than
hundreds of young men.
"I could cite thousands of similar incidents. When you see that I have fifty thousand voluntary testimonials, and that there is hardly a hamlet in. any English-speaking country without one or more acres by my appliances, you will understand that my experience has
been broad.
"My treatment is a success in any case where strength is lacking, whether in the nerves,
stomach, heart, kidneys, liver, or any other part. My appliance gives a soothing, constant electric glow, which is taken by the body as a sponge takes up water. It cures rheumatism in any guise, as well as every other form of pain. '
"I am an enthusiast, you say? Why should I not be? I have the gratitude of thousands of people who have been cured by my Electric Belts after the failure of the best physicians. I am enthusiastic because I know that I offer suffering humanity the surest cure for the least expenditure of money that is known to-day.
"I have gained my success by learning how to treat my patients, and then curing them. I know how others do not. I charge nothing for my knowledge, knowing that it helps my business to do all I can for every patient. My patients are my friends. They, are building
Amy success."
Then I questioned Dr. McLaughlin in regard to his Electric- Belted asked him therein Has it so much, better than other similar contrbaacea.
That is very simple," replied the doctor. "Having spent twenty-two years in study and experiment, I have found means of perfecting my appliance, of removing defects as fast as they appeared in actual use, xmA of supplying features, such as a regulating device, non-burnable electrodes reversible battery, and of increasing the power of my appliance until it is five times as strong as that of any other electric body appliance on the market. It is patented in every country under the sun. My appliance is conceded to be the only one of the kind which, is constructed upon truly scientific lines. Compared with it all other so-called electric belts are the inventions of the blacksmith's hammer.
"It is not upon that point, however, that my success has been founded. My immense business is due to my knowledge of the effect of electricity upon the ailments treated and the best way to obtain that effect. I take every case that comes to me as an individual, and direct the application of my belt to suit the demands of this particular case. When you consider the fact that the electricity which I supply is life to the organs into which I send it, you can see how I get my results. My success comes from my cures. If I did not care my Business would have been worn out long ago. A great many schemers and frauds have gone into the electric belt business because they fancied it was an easy way, to make money, and have resorted to very questionable methods at times, but the old adage, "You can't fool all the people all the time, was
active in their case, and they did not last long."
"Tell me, doctor, why it is that you seem to get better results than a physician derives from using a battery on his patients?"
"Because thenervoussystem which receives the electric current is so sensitive that the current from a battery shocks it, but leaves no additional power to the nerves or vitals. That is why a doctor's battery does no good. Now my system is different. I pour the current into the

rain saturates a newly-ploughed field, they grow strong with it.
They absorb it, drink it in, and as it is their
"Some doctors even believe that my appliances do not generate a current. I will pay £200 for one of them that fails to give a powerful current as soon as it touches the body'. In days gone by electric belts used to burn the skin. I guarantee my patients against that. My appliances have soft cushion electrodes which give a glowing heat, but no heating or burn. They have
also a regulator to control the current.
"The day is drawing near when physicians who now avoid Electricity because of their belief that it is yet in the experimental stage, will awaken to the fact that while they have been waiting I have been working, and that Electricity as I apply it possesses marvellous curative powers in cases where drugs will only stimulate.
"And my success is not limited to stomach troubles. Any organ of the body, any part that lacks the necessary vitality to perform its natural function, can be restored by my method. It gives strength, it makes the blood rich and red and warm, it realises the nerves, puts life and vim into the bushland muscles. ' It just makes a good man out of a bad one in every way.
"With my Electric Belt I cure Rheumatism in its worst form; a cure pains and aches, weak nerves, all manner of functional weakness, and any other trouble which can be cured by restoring strength." Varicocele, the disease that probably does more than anything else to make a man's life miserable, cannot be successfully cured except by using my Belt. The current is directed in such a way that while the influence from the negative pole dissolves, disintegrates and tears down the accumulation of clotted, unhealthy blood, the current from the positive pole directs new life and energy to the tissues, building up and strengthening them against any further attacks. My Belt is guaranteed in every
case undertaken.
Dr. McLaughlin has not only proven that electricity is the substance of life and organic vitality, but has gone so far as to perfect the bestknown means of replenishing that force in the body when it is lost. His electric belt is the natural result of scientific study, coupled with experience
and mechanical skill.
"Now, doctor," I said, "your theory sounds very good, but can you give me any bona-fide evidence of cures to back up your statements. Yon know that there are a great many advertised remedies, and this case of Mr. Rockefeller, who has been in the hands of the best physicians for
years, is very good proof that few of the remedies are successful."
. "That is my strongest argument," said the doctor. "Here are letters from prominent people given me without solicitation. You can see
these patients, and secure from them a verification of what is contained in their letters."
Thereupon Dr. McLaughlin showed me a file containing letters from many of the best known people in the city, and some from outside
places.
After reading several of the American testimonials, amongst them one from United States Senator Call and many other prominent business people, the doctor handed me a number of grateful letters from Australian patients. Some from lawyers; also one from a doctor, and many m,
fluential people, so I am led to believe. *
A WELL-KNOWN LEGISLATOR writes-In answer to your enquiries about my health since I purchased your Electric Belt I have great pleasure in informing you that I carried out your instructions as nearly as possible from the beginning of January unto the beginning of this month by wearing the Belt when going to bed, and taking it off every morning average 7 hours every 24- After the first three weeks I with it I began to feel better in myself, and was able to walk better, and now I am pleased to say that the Belt has ENTIRELY CURED ME and I have not used it now for three weeks. Up to the time I called on you in Melbourne, the week before Christmas, I had been under the doctor's treatment for some time, and nearly physicked myself out of existence, so much so that between the physical and the want of sleep and rest I was almost run down, and had lost in flesh one stone six pounds. Immediately the Belt began to operate successfully my appetite improved, and my strength also, and now, thank God, through your advice and the ÏJelt, I am quite well again. I weighed myself last week, and have again put on some of my lost flesh, to the extent of over a stone.
"When I was taken ill with the Sciatica, I had just been returned to Parliament. I became so tea I could not walk except under the most excruciating pain, and had to hire a cab to take me to and from the House for over three weeks. I can honestly and fully recommend, your Belt to anyone suffering from this complaint am, sir, yours respectfully, . , ^

REMARKABLE CURE OF PARALYSIS.
The Dr. McLaughlin Ch. Glenelg, SA
Dear Sirs-Indeed remarkable has been the cure your Belt has effected in my case especially when you consider that for two years my legs were so paralysed that I could not leave my bed. The different doctors who saw me gave me up one after the other until I had a little encouragement of hope left. I therefore determined to try one of your Belts, and it is with great joy that I am able to tell you that it cured me in a few weeks' time. After a few applications I could feel that it was benefiting men and now my legs are strong and well, and I am able to walk any distance. You can well imagine that the people who knew my condition are surprised, and wonder greatly at my recovery.
I earnestly desire to thank you for all you have done for me. and I trust that other sufferers will profit by my experience and go to you first Yours gratefully,
J. A. WOODING.
Dr. MCLAUGHLIN says that the chief reason so many people are sceptical about using his Belts is that the country is flooded with so-called "galvanic," "magnetic," and "electric" belts, braces, bands, girdles, &c, which are so poorly and crudely constructed, and of such worthless material, that when tried they prove to be valueless and utterly devoid of curative
or strengthening virtue.
Many persons misled by false claims made for them, have been led to purchase these articles, because they were cheap. These worthy people, having once been deceived by pre-tentious charlatans, do not hesitate to characterise all electrical appliances to be worn upon the person as frauds or humbugs. Even many intelligent people have reached this conviction. They could fall into no more serious error.
When carefully constructed, upon the best known scientific principles, and of suitable materials, belts, bands, are, worn upon the body, and which communicate a constant electrical stimulus to the system have been pronounced by eminent physicians to be of inestimable benefit. In regard to cheap belts, then, he says to afflicted persons, try them if you must; but when convinced, as you will undoubtedly become, of their utter worthlessness, come to me and get a good one. The Dr. MCLAUGHLIN ELECTRO MAGNETIC BELT is not a cheap one; it cannot be made cheaply, and, therefore, cannot be sold, cheaply.

TRIED A FREE BELT."
Alfred Woollen Mills, Williamstown, Vic
Gentlemen In answer to your kind enquiries after my health, I beg to state that I have been completely cured of the Sciatica that has troubled me for years. I cannot thank you enough for your gentlemanly treatment and fair dealing with your patients, as I know from others that their treatment has been the same as mine.
I may just as welLlet you know- my experience in seeking a. cure for my trouble before ''I purchased'one-of your High Grade Belts. I had been under doctors and received scant)
relief, and tried various quacks, but it was all the same. I then placed myself in the hands of a Specialist (in Melbourne) guaranteed to cure Rheumatism and Sciatica, but received very small benefit from the treatment. I then had my attention drawn to Electricity. Well, I thought, "Never venture, never win, so I PROCURED a so-called "Free Belt,"
with a most "Wonderful Pedigree," at a cost of £4. Well, I wore the Belt according to the instructions given faithfully for a period of five weeks, and by that time I was burnt and blistered so badly that I could not wear it longer, and still no relief was gained, although the Belt was guaranteed to Cure Anything in sciatica in One Month. You bet I was very much discouraged in regard to Electric Belts. However, I was persuaded to come and just see you, gentlemen. I then found that I had been wearing a Torture Belt and very Wrongly Applied, and quite enough to give any patient a Horror of so-called Electric Belts. After the consultation I decided to place myself in your hands. I knew my case was very
difficult, as I was compelled to follow my employment, and standing at the vice was very irksome, and the complaint was a very stubborn one. However, gentlemen, your Belt, coupled with your advice, has made me a grateful patient. I thank you kindly for supply-ing me with a remedy which has Completely Cured Me, and strongly recommend it to all and sundry that I find are suffering from the distressing malady called "Sciatica."
I have not been wearing the Belt for the past fortnight, but have passed it over to my
wife, who has received great benefit for nervous troubles.
I remain, your grateful patient,
________________________ W. FOLLEY. I SUFFERED FROM WEAK BACK.
Mr. GEORGE LEWIS, Willow Farm, near Gladstone, SA., in making two reports, says in his first-I have much pleasure in telling you that the Belt I purchased from you, is giving , the greatest satisfaction; in fact, I may say that I am as well now as I ever was in my life. I feel my back suit the weak after my day's ride, but a little rest soon puts it right. You may make what use you like of this letter. I would not have been so long without one of your Belts if I had known of them before my son told me.
IN THE SECOND HE HAS BECOME A WALKING AND A WILLING
TESTIMONY: Sirs
I am feeling as well as ever I did in my life; I really must say I am a living advertisement of your Belt. All my friends can see the change in me since I got it.
There were dozens of letters from prominent men, whose names, if Dr. Mclaughlin was permitted to publish them, would-be sufficient guarantee of the genuineness of his cure. Among them were several prominent physicians, who spoke highly of the treatment from
personal tests.
"Is your treatment beneficial in cases of general weakness?" I asked.
"Decidedly. In the same manner that it restores the vitality to" the stomach, it builds up the vital force of the nerves, enriches the blood, and restores the motive power of all organs. To quote Prof. Loeb against part of the chemical energy of foodstuffs is transformed into electrical energy, which in turn gives energy to the muscles and organs of the body. You see, Prof. Loeb has proven that all energy of the vital organs is electrical. Therefore, you can see that when I am able to increase the electrical force of every vital organ I have in my hands the means of cure for every form of physical weakness or decline.
"You can take a man who is thin, puny, and unnourished in appearance, and poor thin electric life into his body every night for a few months, with the proper exercise to draw it into the muscles and tissues, and you can add twenty-five pounds to his weight, double his strength and vitality, and transform him into a giant in strength, as I have often done. Look at the men who have worn my belt, and you will see men of force, men of power and confidence; men who respect themselves, and are respected and admired by their fellow-men.
"Poor digestion, inactive liver, constipation, sluggish heart, slow thinking, dormant energy, and laziness are all due to the lack of electricity. Understand that electricity is the motive power of the human machine, the power that keeps the organs active, and you will see what I mean. In such cases you can see how my electric belt will pump action into his body. It renews the electric life and transforms the sluggard into a bundle of vigorous
energy.
"This agitation on the subject is going to prove of incalculable benefit to the future health of our race. Just satisfy the people that they can procure a renewal of bodily vigour" and health by simply renewing the electricity in the body, and you have given them what they have always prayed for-a relief from noxious drugs. Convince a suffering man or woman that drugs will not cure them, and that all they need is a new supply of electricity, and you
have made them happy.
"So many people suffer from pains and aches, called Rheumatism or Lumbago, or Neuralgia, due to impoverished nerves, crying for aid. The life of these nerves is electricity, and nothing else will cure them. I can send a gentle current from my electric belt so that it will convey the life direct to the ailing part, and relief is often felt in an hour. I frequently
cure such cases within ten days.
"Suppose we take a man who has in one way or another overtaxed his system until it is in a state of abject exhaustion, the brain sluggish, all ambition gone, and an ever-present
feeling of despondency, a disposition to give up the fight.
"In that case the electric force has been reduced, and there we have the cause of the trouble. Now, replace that force and you have a rejuvenated man, as good as ever.
"If these scientific men would do more investigating along paths that I have already well worn they would find more evidence to back their theory that Electricity is Life' in one day than they will get out of the carcase of a frog in ten years. I prove it by results upon human beings whom I have cured, and thousands upon thousands of them are already, shouting the praises of my belts. Let the scientists take my patient as examples, and they
will be convinced of the wonderful power of electricity.
"If it were not for the prejudice, due to the great number of lakes in the land, 7 would not be able to handle the business that would come to me. The "Free Belts fraud, and the CHEAP BELT and DRUG scheme, which are not free or cheap at all, have made everyone sceptical but I know that I have a good thing, and 111 pound away until everyone knows
it."
Before leaving, the doctor informed me that he had been a student of this subject for twenty-two years, and had never seen a case where his electric belt was properly applied without grand results. He stated that he has now more than twenty-five large branches of business. Each office is in the keeping of a staff of experienced men, carefully trained in his theories, and experts in the use of his appliances, whose business it is to give a free ' personal test of what his belt will do to all who were able to call. He said he had never known a failure in a case where the proper power of current had been used. That, unlike other belts, his was made, not for show, or a cheap appearing bait to other methods, but made solely to cure; that there were several different grades of chain batteries, differing in strength only, with the price ranged according to the construction of the self from a stand-
point of power secured.
He says that during the past few years over one million of his books have been given
to suffering humanity, either personally or sent by mail.
If you are ailing -you cannot do better than to send for-ariree book. Be careful of the
address.
