Excerpt from Practical Introduction to Medical Electricity
I trust that in speaking of the curative value of electricity I have been able to keep a happy medium between excessive enthusiasm and premature discouragement. We have still much to learn and to improve with reference to the modes of electrisation in disease. Ihave endeavoured to give the rationale of the methods, as well as directions for carrying out the several applications of the currents to disease, so that the physician should be able to modify his treat ment and adapt it to the peculiarities of the cases which come before him, a task by no means so simple as some appear to think.
Finally I have, after some hesitation, added a paragraph on the electrolysis of tumours intended to rationalise the method and stimulate further researches on the subject, rather than to endorse.
