About This Book

A practical medical guide outlines the construction and use of static, galvanic, and faradic electrical apparatus, explains methods for delivering general and localized electrization to skin, muscles, and internal organs, and details diagnostic tests of nerve and muscle irritability; it summarizes instruments, accessories, dosing with a galvanometer, precautions, and applications in conditions such as neuralgia, various paralyses, impotence, rheumatic and fatigue disorders, and describes electrolysis and electrotonus, aiming to advise practitioners on when and how to employ a galvanic battery safely and effectively.
