A Newly Discovered System of Electrical Medication
Clark, Daniel
Electrotherapeutics
Take the B D current. First, treat the lowest part of the cerebellum, on
both sides of the spinal cord, with a _mild_ force; using P. P. upon
these organs of amativeness, and N. P. on the dorsal vertebræ. Treat so
some three minutes. Next, increase the current to medium force; and,
taking a handled cup or mug, holding a pint to a quart, mostly filled
with tepid water, drop the _penis_ and _testicles_ into it, along with
the tin electrode P. P., and move N. P., _long cord_, over the lumbar
vertebræ. Treat in this manner about five minutes. Then place the P. P.
on the pelvis, close above the penis, and again treat with N. P., _long
cord_, over the small of the back, two or three minutes. Treat about
three times a week.
IMPOTENCE.
Take B D current, moderate force. Treat exactly as in spermatorrhœa,
except with _reversed poles_, using the _long cord_ with P. P. Treat
thrice a week.
FOOTNOTES:
[A] The _process_ of this will probably be explained if another edition
should be called for. It is given in one of the author's Class Lectures.
[B] Study carefully _Polarization of the Circuit_, page 29.
[C] _Polarization of the Circuit_, page 29.
[D] By a current of _good medium strength_, I mean one which, in the
hands, is ordinarily felt rather strongly, yet not sufficiently so to
produce distress.
[E] See _Polarization of the Circuit_. Page 29.
Transcriber's Endnotes:
The following corrections have been made to the original text:
Contents & P. 123. "Hœmorrhoids" amended to _Hæmorrhoids_.
P. xix & P. 36. "faradaism" amended to _faradism_. This, however,
could be an obscure variant as with Faradaic, Faradic.
P. 101. "pilorus" amended to _pylorus_.
P. 130. "œdemetous" amended to _œdematous_.
