THE MAGIC BOX

ABRAMS TREATMENT OF DTSEASI

THEORY EXPLAINED

The Concert Chamber of the Welling ton Town Hall was well filled to hem a lecture upon Dr Albert Abrams’ elec ironic, treatment of disease, deliver* 1 - by Mr Alexander Marky, of New York editor of Pearson's Magazine. Dr Wi! liani 11. Pettit, of Auckland, presided.

Dr Abrams at the age of IS, ex plained the lecturer, had passed hi medical studies at the Cooper Medico College, but could not practice be cause he was not old enough. A bort medical genius, he decided to tour tin world and study at all the leading medical colleges. He graduated at tip University of Hiedelberg with the high est possible honours. He had sat at tin feet of the greatest medical authori ties in Europe. He studied medica' art; there was no such thing as modi cal secince, but Abrams did not know this then. In 1597 Dr Abrams starlet to experiment with X-rays at tin Cooper Medical College, where he oecu pied the position of Professor o. Pathology. The medical profession toh him that he must stop experimentia with the rays of the sun. Dr Alb ram* told them that he would stop nothing as he believed there was something ii it. Abrams had been spurred on by th fact that, both his first and secom wives had died of cancer, in spite of al ; he could do. This convinced him that medicine was of no use in the treat ment of disease. He then commenced experimenting with nerve reflexes ol the human body. A famous surgeon and physician fifteen years ago hatdeclared that Abrams was the greatest master of the human body who had ever lived. Abrams at last hit upon the idea of using the human body aa recording instrument. Through numberless experiments, he found that different diseases recorded at different strengths, ami at last came to recognise such ••manations as those of tuber culosis, cancer, and other diseases. Th found that then* was as much differ once between the radiations of differ ent diseases as there was between the manations from different broadcasting sets. Abrams experimented until hi could tell disease in its incipient stage;-. This could not be done, by doctors to day, who had to wait until a disease hail developed before they could diag nose it correctly. Dr Abrams proved that cancer did not come overnight, but was the result of something which had been in the body for some time. Could they imagine, asked the lee hirer, what Dr Abrams felt when he found that he could discover tuber culosis and cancer before they had secured a hold upon the body 1 ? It was the most, wonderful discovery which had ever been made by medical art. Dr Abrams’ “magic box’’ had saved thousands of lives which had been abandoned as hopeless by the medical profession. As a .journalist and a humanitarian, he (Mr Marky) wished to awaken the world to the fact that as medicine was practised to-day, in the United States at any rate, it was a hopeless failure. He appealed to physicians to get out of their narrow groove, and spend some of their time in learning this wonderful now method of treating disease. Ho was not opposed to physicians; he wanted them to come out and help him in giving their patients the benefits of this wonderful invention which had conic to the relief of mankind. ' At the close of the lecture a number of questions were asked and answered I by the lecturer, who stated that there were 25 clinics in the United States whece the Abrams- treatment was proI vided free for those who could not II afford to pay for it. He wouTd like -1 to see one established in each of the • larger centres in the Dominion.
