Notes Concerning a Few Cases in Which the Electro-Static Remedy Was Used
Excerpt from Notes Concerning a Few Cases in Which the Electro-Static Remedy Was Used
The simple reason for this neglect is, that no one skilled in the use of the more perfected machines has yet brought the matter before this body in such a manner as to elicit discussion.
More than one medical man has said to me, Oh, I don't believe in electricity, I have tried it and can get no results. Further conversation revealed the fact that these skeptics had, to say the least, but cloudy notions of the difference between a galvanic and a faradic battery they had never heard of a differential calorimeter, and static electricity was to them a sealed book. My remarks may not accrue to the delectation or benefit of such a grade of development; for it is one not likely to make a correct interpretation of any medical fact, and it would be an insult to your intelligence to presume for a moment that any of you is so lacking in this regard, or that most of you are unfamiliar with the current literature of static electricity, more particularly as it has appeared in the journals for the last few years.
