Excerpt from Electro-Physiology and Electro-Therapeutics: Showing the Best Methods for the Medical Uses of Electricity Here, the author must acknowledge to an agreeable surprise. When this work was about. To be put forth to the medical world, the publishers, judging from past experience of the sale of books on this and other special departments of medicine, expected only a limited sale. Hence the price per volume was to cover the expenses. But a few months have elapsed, however, and the whole edition of this large and expensive work is disposed of. From this time, therefore, the price will be reduced twenty-five per cent., that the entire medical profession in America may be induced to investigate, more fully, this view of physiology and pathology, of diseases and remedies, and to avail themselves practically of its great power for good in the healing art. It certainly does afford a new stand-point, that is exceedingly instructive, to view the same old and familiar objects, to which all truly professional eyes are ever turned, and always love to look viz., Life in health, and Life in dis ease; besides showing other accessible points to the seats of some diseases, the na ture of the work to be done, and affording the very means that can do it. Moreover, the Appendix Notes now added, being a very plain key for the application of elec tricity in a variety of cases, must prove of value to the practitioner. Pardon the author if he here reiterates, that Electricity, modified as it can be, when produced by the different kinds of scientific and philosophical apparatus, can assuredly be introduced into the domain of therapeutics with peculiar confidence, not as a specific, applicable in all cases to which we are called, and without distinction, but for certain cases, and in given conditions, as a reliable and pow erful means to a definite end, the effects of which can be foreseen, calculated, modified, directed, and controlled with as much precision, and even more pre vision, than can most of our frequently-resorted-to remedies. Professional Brethren It will be received as a favor by the author, if you will, at some time, forward to him your own experience, whether successful or other wise, in the fair employment of any form of electricity. Please state your cases clearly and concisely as possible give the form of electricity employed, whether sparks, shocks, aura, or current; the kind of current, whether primary or sec ondary; if primary, how many elements; the method; the electrodes used; the direction of the current whether continuous, intermitted, or reversed; how often, and how many times; how long applied; how often the seance is repeated, as well as the whole number of sittings, and the length of time in the treatment; the amount of improvement, or cure, and how long confirmed; also, if I am at liberty to quote you in some future revision of this work.
