FIBROID TUMORS
of the
WOMB
their varieties and
BlOOdleSS and Painless
electric treatment.

There are three different varieties
of Fibroid Tumors of the Womb.
The one growing on the outside of the
womb. The one forming right in the
walls of the womb, and the one grow
ing on the inside of the womb. Aside
of this there is the form where the
entire womb is transformed into one
large tumor. All of them begin in
the walls fthe womb, the first form
growing towards the outside, the sec
ond staying within the walls, while
the third form grows towards the
cavity Of the womb. In the fourth
form the entire walls Of the womb are
transformed into a fbroid growth,
often growing to an enormous size.
The third form growing towards the
cavity of the womb will sometimes
form long stem caused by the con-
traction of the womb, which force the
tumor out of the womb so that it is
found laying in the vagina, when it
is called tibroid polypus.
The first form, growing towards the
outside of the womb, will also some
times form stem, so that the tumor
attached by this stem, is movable in
the abdominal cavity.
The usual method of treatment by
surgeons is to open the abdomen with
the knife and cut out the entire
womb, thus unsexing the woman.
Where the tumors are smaller they
are cut out of the walls of the womb,
after the obdomen has been cut open.
Where the tumors grow towards the
inside Of the womb, the mouth of
the womb is opened either by cutting
or by fording it open with steel
dilator, and the tumors are then cut
out or scraped out,
All these operations of course re-
quire the use of chloroform or eth
er, they usually cause great loss of
blood and surgical shock, often unsex
the woman sometimes causing melan-
cholia as well as the impossibility to
have children, and in all cases com
pei the patient to stay in bed for sew
eral weeks.
Aside of this there is always the
ianger of bloodpoisoning.
Doctor Toel many years ago gave up
he use of the knife and scissors for
tibroid Tumors as the use of electric
ty gave him far better results with
'ut the dangers of the knife and
hose of chloroform or ether, while
1t the same time the patient was not
to lay in bed for several
weeks, and of course the woman :
S not unsexed by the electrical meth
I'd.
The method in addition is almost
ntirely painless, as DIR. Toel does not {
urn on more current than the patient 1
an well stand. c
DR.. Toel removes fbroid polypi I
y means of the low voltage current G
yithout any loss of blood and scarce 7
any pain, in single electrical I
peration.
Those tumors forming in the walls i
the womb he removes by means
medium voltage currents applied n
, the inside of the womb without r
aving to dilate the mouth.
This treatment has to be repeated n
number of times until the tumors 4
ave shrunk away and been absorbed. I
If there has been great bleeding
efore the patient comes under his
Ire, he can usually stop this. with IN
lie first application. Pus discharges, :
re also quickly stopped by electrici- 8
Pain and constipation depending,
Den the tumors aGe quickly relieved Il
7 the electric currents. d'
Bat all this is only true if the OF
is conducted by a surgeon G
ho has many years experience in the 1!
e of electricity, as DIR. Toel has m
Lthered during over thirty years Of So
akin$ speciality of it. He has Is
any times seen surgeons that did re
It have this experience fail entirely tt
getting the results he himself is Il
ting. Then usually the surgeon su
ndemns electricity as useless, While W
e fault is his own lack of knowledge al
its use. W
