THE HUMAN BODY CONSISTS OF NUMEROUS MAGNFTS 
GALVANIC BATTERIES AND ELECTRICAL 
COMBINATIONS. 
By G. Leo Hagenburger, M.S., D.V.S., Brooklyn, N. Y. 
1. Human Magnets .—The arms constitute a horseshoe mag¬ 
net, the right hand being the North, the left the South Pole ; the 
legs constitute another magnet; the toes and fingers a series of 
magnets. The human head, or brain rather, is a compound 
magnet, the most prominent North Pole being at the forehead, 
the principal South Pole situated at the occiput. The liver, 
spleen, with their nerve connections and blood-vessels, consti¬ 
tute as shown, a bar magnet, with the North Pole at the spleen, 
the South Pole at the liver; in other words, stronger elec¬ 
tricities flow from right to left side, or justly opposite to the 
usual directions of magnet, electricities in the more exter¬ 
nal portions of the organism, which is from left to right. The 
right and left kidneys also, the duplex portions of the sexual 
system with connecting tubes, nerves and vessels constitute 
electro-magnetics or magnets, and are simply kept in activity 
by the galvanic and other chemico and vital processes, which 
will be explained as follows : 
2. Galvanic Batteries and Polarized Centers of the Animal 
System .—The brain being the great galvanic battery of the 
nervous system, its electricities being generated by numerous 
troughs and cells, as it were, its principal one being the spinal 
column, its larger cells, so to speak, the ganglia of the cere¬ 
brum and cerebellum ; the smaller cells being the ganglia of the
