Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Electricity in Medicine and Surgery The proper use of so intricate and yet so worthy a remedy could not be brought to perfection by a merely superficial series of experiments, nor can at present a passing glance at a standard author warrant suffi cient knowledge for successful treatment by its use. The different currents and different strengths - each are studies in themselves that demand careful perusal. On the part of the student, of each and every form separately, as though it were an independent study bearing only a distant relation to the common subject This accounts for, in part, why the general practicer of medicine too frequently wholly neglects the agent that will bring about the best results in the treatment of his patients suffering from nervo'us and chronic diseases, and resorts to the use of drugs that will frequently do infinitely more harm than no treat ment at an. Not that this is a willful neglect on the part of a concien tious physician who always tries to do the best by his patients, but rather because, even though he would have sufficient time amid his numerous duties to study thoroughly the applications of the different currents, facilities for their use and necessary equipment in order to justify gratifying results would be wanting. In short, electrical treat ment is a specialtv that demands for the successful management of cases, a specialist who can devote the greater part of his time to the supervision of special apartments, and special equipments that cannot receive necessary attention in the busv routine of a general practice. In the hands of such an one sufficiently skilled to cope with the various forms of chronic diseases, and possessing all requisite appliances, the efficacies of electrical treatment cannot fail to prove itself as being far superior to all agents that may be employed for the relief of this form of diseases.
