Abstract
Abstract An electrical therapeutic apparatus which comprises an oscillator for selectively generating a low or high frequency, a selector associated with said oscillator to determine a voltage having an intrinsic frequency of specified wave suitable to an affected meridian and a means for applying the selected voltage to the human body. The voltage at the selected frequency of specified wave is applied to a reaction point communicated through meridian with entrails in the body.
