If the case be one of long standing, and more or less of _pus_, or _pus_ and _tubercles_, be raised in coughing, take the A D current, with equal cords and _very_ mild force. Reduce the quantity of battery fluid if necessary. Now place P. P. at the coccyx and treat with N. P., (the hand is here much the best), over all the diseased parts. Change occasionally by removing P. P. to back of neck with _long cord_. The object is to bring the diseased parts under a very light force of the A D current, such as is especially healing in old ulcers and chronic irritation. But if this action should at any time _increase_ fever or inflammation in the lungs, the poles must be reversed for one or two treatments. In this stage of the disease, treat ten to twelve or fifteen minutes, daily, for three or four days, and after that, three times a week. NEURALGIA AND RHEUMATISM OF THE HEART. If _neuralgia_, use B D current; if _rheumatism_, use A D. In either case, treat the heart with P. P., moderate force, placing N. P. at lower dorsal or upper lumbar vertebræ. Treat five to eight minutes, daily, until relief is gained. _Rheumatism_ of the heart may be distinguished from _neuralgia_ by its occasioning irregularity in the cardiac contractions, commonly a sense of soreness and pain under pressure by the hand, and often perceptible enlargement of the organ, which neuralgia does not, and also by its pains being more constant--less fitful--than those of neuralgia. ENLARGEMENT, OR OSSIFICATION OF THE HEART. Treat these two affections in the same way. Take the A D current, moderate force. Place N. P. at the coccyx, or alternately there and, with _long cord_, on the spine opposite to the heart. Manipulate with P. P. over the heart. Treat five to eight minutes, three times a week. PALPITATION OF THE HEART. This is commonly a symptomatic or sympathetic affection--_rarely_ idiopathic--and disappears on cure of the disease from which it proceeds. It usually denotes nervous weakness, and often general debility. _General tonic treatment_ is indicated, as far as can be given without interfering with the proper treatment of any local affections on which the palpitation depends. TORPID LIVER. Take A D or B D current, full medium force. Treat with N. P. over the liver, at the right side, immediately below the short ribs, and thence backward and a little upward, as far as to the spine, holding P. P. on the left side, close under the ribs, for about four to six minutes. Then remove P. P. to the spine, on back of neck, two or three minutes. Next, go with the P. P. to coccyx two or three minutes; continuing, as at first, to manipulate with N. P. over the liver. Let the whole treatment occupy some eight to twelve minutes. Repeat the sittings about three times a week. HEPATITIS. (_Inflammation of Liver._)
