CASE XXV.* _Perfect impotency._—Mr. F., from the practice of
Dr. CARO, a robust gentleman, aet. thirty-six, full of muscular
vigor. Had had syphilis, the symptoms of which had disappeared
under Dr. C.’s treatment. For two years the power of erection as
well as sexual appetite had become extinct—if we except an
occasional imperfect spontaneous erection on waking up in the
morning, and even this was of rare occurrence. Ordinary
medication proving inadequate, Dr. C. sent patient to take
electric baths. From March 7th to July 16th, Mr. F. used the
baths, averaging about two weekly. He was then, and still
remains, perfectly restored.
CASE XXVI. _Perfect impotency._ A. E. K., aet. 23, commercial
traveler, applied to me for treatment in the spring of 1873. His
general health was very good. He had masturbated but little. Had
been in full possession of his sexual power until almost
twenty-two years of age, when he found that, without assignable
cause, he had lost the power of erection. His general condition
being, as far as discoverable, perfect in every respect, I
instituted a local electrical treatment. This was continued for
some time without avail. Strychnia was then administered with no
better result, and after some months’ treatment I told him that
I could do nothing for him. He remained without any treatment
whatever until the spring of 1874, when I advised him to try
electric baths. He took in all about half a dozen baths, which
resulted in his complete and thus far permanent restoration.
CASE XXVII. _Sexual debility._ Mr. W., aet. 32, married,
manufacturer, consulted me in February 1875. Had gradually for
about a year past lost sexual power. Was able to perform the
marital act at rare intervals only, and when he did, felt
exhausted the whole of the succeeding day. I ordered him
electric baths. He took the first on February 22d, 1875. Between
this date and March 22d, he took six baths. The sexual power had
then fully returned. I must not omit to state that during the
time he was under treatment he took, by my direction, gr. 1/25
phosphorus twice daily, which may have somewhat accelerated the
result.
