Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on Medical Electricity, Theoretical and Practical: And Its Uses in the Treatment of Paralysis, Neuralgia, and Other Diseases The electrolytic treatment of tumours has been much practised in the interval between the appearance of the second and third editions; and although this particular branch of our subject appears to be still in its infancy, yet indications are not wanting that it will soon occupy a far more important place in therapeutics than many eminent surgeons were willing to believe, when I first suggested this plan of treatment six years ago. A large number of new illustrations has been added, which it is hoped will render the text easier of comprehension.

Not illustrated. 1860 edition. Excerpt: ... A TREATISE ON MEDICAL ELECTRICITY. CHAPTER I. FORMS OF ELECTRICITY. In the present state of physical science it is generally admitted that all bodies contain a very subtle fluid called natural electricity, and composed of two contrary fluids, which are termed positive and negative electricity. We suppose these fluids to consist of an infinite number of smallest particles or molecules, each of which possesses attractive and repulsive powers, the molecules of one attracting those of the other, whilst the molecules of the same fluid repel each other. Whilst bodies are at rest, these fluids exist in such proportion that, although they do not destrov each other, their effect is counterbalanced: since at the same distance the attractive power of one of the fluids is equal to the repulsive power of the other. Natural electricity must therefore be decomposed, if au action shall be perceptible. Decomposition of the natu ral electricity is brought about as soon as disturbances of any kind are impressed upon bodies, whereby a derangement is produced in the equilibrium of the molecules; as for instance, when bodies are subjected to friction, heat, chemical action, etc. By such and other means an electro-motive force is called into existence, which separates from each other the two fluids formerly united; natural electricity is decomposed and active electricity liberated, the nature and intensity of which present certain differences, which depend upon the nature of the body from which it is derived and upon the action by which it is developed; but active electricity, whatever may be its source, is identical in its nature; it exerts attractive and repulsive powers, produces heat, light, shocks, magnetism, and is ready to tear asunder the elements of...

Excerpt from A Treatise on Medical Electricity: Theoretical and Practical, and Its Use in the Treatment of Paralysis, Neuralgia and Other Diseases There are few remedies employed in the treatment of disease, on the value of which the professional mind is less settled than on that of galvanism. Enthusiastic panegyrists contended fifty years ago, and contend still, that it is a therapeutical agent superior to all hitherto discovered, whilst the great majority of the profession entertain serious doubts as to the reality of the remarkable successes which are now and then recorded by medical galvanists. The differences of opinion about the therapeutical value of electricity are readily to be understood if we bear in mind that the mode in which electricity is applied has an all-important bearing upon the results. It is true that even by a careless employment of galvanism a few accidental successes have been obtained; but in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, empirical galvanists, being unacquainted with the physiological effects of electricity, have been disappointed, and have brought the remedy into undeserved contempt. We know that, whatever may be the properties of the nerves, they can be called into action by galvanism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
