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 moi
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
ical 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 clec-
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 S methods.
Treatment by medicines is usually
without much effect in diseases of
women or, at the best, only Of temper
ary effect. Tampons and supporters
really make the case worse as they
stretch the Hgaments 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 rlelan~
cholia and insanity.
Electrical treatment strengthens
the muscles and ligaments instead of
them as tampons and sup
porters do. Bleeding, as well as pus
are quickly stopped by |
electricity without the danger of |
of the womb Inhammatory
deposits are absorbed without form
ing pus, and pain in the different
parts is quickly subdued.
Electrical operations are free of all
he dangers of knife operations and if
properly performed by an expert,
seldom cause pain for more than a
,ew minutes, while in most eases, they
Ire entirely free from pain. In fibroid
.umors the patient is not confined to
he bed as in knife operations, and,
lbove all, is not unsexed. Electrical
operations for cancer of the womb
lave that great advantage over knife
,perations which all electrical cancer
operations have; that is, that returns
If the cancer which, in knife opera
ions are about 80 per cent, are com
,aratively rare after electrical opera
ions, if performed in time.
Dr. Toel has for 80 years made a
pecialty of electrical treatments and
operations and, in addition to his four
ears education as a physician and
urgeon in European universities.

With the latest and best electrical
apparatus and instruments, often of
lis own invention.
