How to Use a Galvanic Battery in Medicine and Surgery: A Discourse Delivered Before the Hunterian Society, Third Edition
Tibbits, Herbert
Electrotherapeutics
“A man came to the hospital with atrophy of many muscles in various
parts of the body, more especially in the left arm, which he was unable
to move from the side. He went out able to lift his arm well over his
head, and with much increased strength in the limb.
“Another man, in a very similar condition, was also greatly benefited;
and whereas on admission he could barely bend the right arm at the
elbow, after three months’ treatment he was able to use a hammer with
the arm.”
