DEFICIENCY cOF NERVOUS ENERGY,

GALVANISM THE SUREST CURE FOR IT.
WHAT IS " DEFICIENCY OF NERVOUS
ENERGY ?" It:is a withdrawal of nervous fluid from
any particular muscle or organ affected. For instance, sup-
pose the stomach is so weak that it cannot digest food, the
stomach is then deficient of nervous energy, for experiments
made on animals prove that -if the nerves which lead from the
spine to the stomach are separated, so as to cut off the .supply
of nervous fluid, all digestion ceases on the instant. Again,
suppose any muscle or limb so weak that it cannot perform its
functions, that muscle or limb is deficient of nervous energy.
We may pursue the same reasoning as regards the brain,and
hence the reason of lowness or spirits, want of resolution, tor-
por of all the intellectual rowers, loss of memory, &c. The
question which now arises is this,—" Can Galvanism supply the
various organs with nervous energy when they are deficient of
it ?" To reply to this question we must go to experimental
facts—facts so well authenticated, that no physiologist of the
present day denies them. The following experiment is conclu-
sive, and will convince the roost ,sceptical that Galvanism can
not only supply the place of the nervous fluid, but that the gal-
vanic fluid and the nervous fluid is one and the same thinw. In
Dr. Wilson Phillip's celebrated work, entitled "An Enquiry
into -the Laws of the Vital Functions," several experiments,
similar to the following one, were made in order to decide the
long-disputed question as to whether the galvanic fluid was
identical with the nervous fluid. Three dogs were procured -
and -kept without food for a certain time, when they were al-
lowed to eat as much as they felt inclined to. On two of the
dogs, the operation was performed of dividing the eighth pair
of nerve, in order to prevent the flow of nervous influence to
the stomach. Nothing was done to the third dog at this stage
of the experiment. A stream of galvanic fluid was now passed
through the divided nerves of one of the dogs, and, at the ex-
piration of four hours, the three dogs were killed. On examin-
ing the stomach of the non-galvanised dog, not a particle of
food was digested; whilst the food of the galvanised dog pre-
sented exactly the same appearance as that in the stomach of
the dog which had not had the operation performed of dividing
isttrlyleadr a defici-
ency:i informed
the nerves. Such experiments as these must come home to the
conviction of the most sceptical ; for nothing can be a more
convincing proof that the galvanic fluid and the nervous fluid
is the same thing, and that the galvanic battery, when properly

narties against using those small electro-magnetic apparatuses
having only one or two pair of plates, for their constant effect is,
to irritate the whole nervous system. My apparatus, which has
now become so celebrated, consists of twelve pair of zinc and
silver plates, and a most complete regulating apparatus, with
wire handles, &c. The whole is contained in a neat mahogany

Invalids are solicited to send to Mr. W. H. HALSE, profes-
sor of Medical Galvanism, 22, Brunswick-square, London, for
his pamphlet on Medical Galvanism, which will be forwarded
free on receipt of two postage stamps. They will be astonished
at its contents. In it will be found the particulars of cures in
spinal headache, deficiency of nervous energy, liver
cases of asthma, rheumatism, sciatica, tic-doloureux, paralysis,
complaints,ene
al debility, indigestion, stiff joints, all sorts:
complaints, general
of nervous disorders, &c. Mr. lialse's method of applying
the galvanic fluid is quite free from all unpleasant sensation
in fact, it is rather pleasurable than otherwise, and many ladies
are exceedingly fond of it. It quickly causes the patient to do
