ELECTRICITY and Disease

After an enthusiastic reception and pro-
mitigation the treatment of disease by
electrical means suffered a long period
of relapse, due no less to a want of un-
derstandng than TO the too high claims
made for the method or the unwarranted
exploitation of the idea, says the London
Morning Post 1t is extremely important
that the chief English authority on cleo
tro- therapeutics. writing under the initials
III. l.. j. should be able to assert that
the true meaning of the action of cleo
tricity upon living subjects should have
been growing much clearer. This is owing
to two reasons. The first is the recogni-
ton that when a electric current passes
through living tissue there is an actual
flow of electric ions-or, let us more sim
ply call them, minute carriers of electrici-
ty. Thus though the old idea of an "elec-
trio fluid" has been definitely abandoned
1t has ben replaced by that of a flow of
something which is tangible and, we
might almost say, material
The second of II. l.. j s. reasons for
believing that we are growing better ac-
quainted with the ways in which electric
currents can exert healing effects is that
1t is now recognized, thanks to Nagel-
schmidt, that high frequency electric cur
rents heat the tissues. Let us, however
first briefly summarize the advances
maintained by the recognition of the
'ionc' character Of direct electric cur
rents. Through this knowledge it has
been possible to introduce medicaments
directly into the tissues, especially at the
surface of the body, apart from the slim
ulation to nerve or muscle which is
brought about by the movement of cleo
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-09

trie ions in them when a current of anv
kind is set to traverse them. But ionic
medication though it has attained quite
a respectable age by now, was for long
time attended by considerable difficulties
because of the pain involved when it was
sought to drive ionic messengers of am
monium or sodium or zinc or other metals
into the body Ways have been found by
which the pain can be lessened and bv
which at the same time the strength of
currents can be very much ncrea sed-a
matter OF great importance for the effo,-
tiveness of the treatment. Thus both by
setting up chemical interchanges In the
tissues themselves and by introducing me-
tallic ions from without, this form of
electro medication Is progressing, and we
may specially note the increasingly sue
cessful treatment of true neuralgias, neu-
ritis and even chronic gout
When-to leave this method-we con-
slider those where currents of large mag
mture are more useful, we arrive at the
high frequency treatment. In this the
ions in the cells of the body undergo dis
placement as before, but the displace-
ment is slight and so quickly reversed
that the elasticity of the protoplasm is
not strained, and the chief effect produced
is that of heating. It is supposed that as
the result of this Internal heating va
rious states of spasms and congestion.
and some forms of neutritis and nfiam-
nation are relieved With this better COM
prehension of what takes place, added to
the fact that electrical tests are now
