Excerpt from Guide for Using Medical Batteries: Being a Compendium From His Larger Work on Medical Electricity and Nervous Diseases, Showing the Most Approved Apparatus, Methods and Rules, for the Medical Employment of Electricity in the Treatment of Nervous Diseases

This little volume is intended to be a concise practical guide to the medical and surgical uses of electrical apparatus - it being a synopsis, or rather a condensation, of a portion of my larger work - "Medical Electricity and Nervous Diseases." The recent improvements in philosophical appliances, the increased knowledge and skill in electro-physiology and pathology, and the important relation which electricity is now known to bear to most nervous affections, as also to many complicated chronic and obscure diseases, call imperatively for the best of apparatus, a more general knowledge of their offices and powers, and a study of the most simple and effective methods and rules for their use and safety.

Electricity, derived either as galvanism or as electro-magnetism, is already recognized, by a large portion of the best educated of the medical profession, as a peculiar natural remedy. It cannot be ignored. Henceforth the prudent practitioner will not be found without this magic remedial aid. Hence a widespread knowledge of medical batteries, and their uses, is demanded, both as a caution for the public against quacks and empirics, and for the credit and greater usefulness of the medical profession.

In printing this book, the complete electrotype plates of the larger work from which it is taken are used; hence the appearance of some figures, referring to cuts and pages not herein to be found.
