The effects on the various functions connected with digestion are due doubtless to the combined influences of stimulation of the secretions of the alimentary canal and stimulation of the muscular coats of the stomach and intestines, as well as permanent tonization of the _muscularis_. While the enhancement of the secretions is undoubtedly due chiefly to the electric stimulus to the secreto-motor nerves, and the increased activity of the muscular coats to a like influence transmitted to their motor nerves, I believe the permanent tonization and invigoration of the muscular fibres to be mainly attributable to the direct trophic influence of the current traversing the parts themselves; and I have no doubt that this direct influence has much to do with the stimulation of the secretions and _peristalsis_ also. At any rate, I have never obtained from galvanization of the nervous centres, which I have practiced in a great number of cases, the striking effects on the alimentary processes which are so uniform a result of the baths. The influence on the SEXUAL APPARATUS of the electric bath does not manifest itself in so striking a manner as in the case of the organs of digestion. It is true I have seen individuals whose sexual functions were normal, have _stysis_ in the bath, but the mere cutaneous irritation of the electric current is here sufficient to account for a phenomenon which, where sexual irritability is intact, will follow any other local irritations.
