The New Method
OF Treatment of
Diseases of Women
as used by
DIR. TOEL
the Chicago Specialist now in Dallas
to introduce
His Electrical Methods.

Diseases of women are treated by
physicians and surgeons who are not
electricians, usually either by medi-
cines given by the stomach, or applied
locally to the affected parts. or by the
knife Of curette.
To Professor Apostoli, of Paris,
France, and to Professor Massey, of
Philadelphia. belongs the credit of
/ first having made known to the med
zeal profession electrical methods that
are far superior to the use Of medi-
cines, tampons, supporters, or the
knife. To the late DR.. John Byrne,
Of Brooklyn, belongs the credit Of
showing years ago. the value Of cleo
+ tricity over the knife in cancer Of the
womb, to the medical profession in a
book written by him. At the same
time, however, DR.. Toel was using the
same electric methods without having
heard Of Dr. Byrne s methods.
Treatment by medicines is usually
without much effect in diseases of
women or, at the best only Of tempo
rary effect. Tampons and supporters
really make the case worse as they
stretch the ligaments and thus make
them more unable than before to full
fill their proper function.
Knife operations have all the dan
gers Of blood poisoning. loss of blood,
nervous shock, chloroform or ether,
and, In many eases, unsex the patient
by removal Of the uterus, tubes or
ovaries, thereby often causing melan-
cholia and insanity.
Electrical treatment strengthens
the muscles and ligaments instead of
weakening them as tampons and sup
porters do. Bleeding, as we'll as pus
discharges, are quickly stopped BY .
electricity without the danger Of .
scraping Of the womb. Infammatory
deposits are absorbed without. form
ing pus, and pain in the different
parts is quickly subdued.
Electrical operations are free of all |,
the dangers of knife operations and if
performer by an expert,
seldom cause pain for more than a
few minutes, while in most cases, they
IRE entirely free from pain In fibroid |
-umors the patient is not confined to
he bed as in knife operations, and. /
above all is not unsexed. Electrical |
operations for cancer Of the womb |
lave that great advantage over knife
operations which all electrical cancer
operations have; that is, that returns
It the cancer which, in knife opera
ions are about 80 per cent, are com
rare after electrical opera
ions, if performed in time.
DIR. Toel has for 80 years made
pecialty Of electrical treatments and
perations and, in addition to his four
ears education as a physician and
rgeon in European universities,
aving studied electrical engineering
I this country, is always supplied

pparatus and instruments, often of
is own invention.
