Wonderful Results Claimed to Have Been Achieved at London by Tesla’s Process
New York, Jan. 25. - Experiments are being made on a most elaborate scale in London with a modification of Tesla’s electrical currents which he insists will cure consumption.
The Herald today in its cable letter from London says the most remarkable results have been achieved and an elaborate establishment has been fitted up. The consumptive patient has been absolutely cured. By a certain process the patient has been able to receive a current of eighty thousand volts.
The awe inspiring force of this voltage may be best appreciated when it is remembered that only five hundred volts are employed for driving trains on a railway. Yet the patient is not conscious of the enormous electrical pressure.
