Excerpt from The Canadian Practitioner and Review, Vol. 31: January to December, 1906
In treating insomnia, we have, then, first of all to consider the remedies which bear upon the circulation. Where the arteries are atheromatous we must restore their contractility, if possible, by means of iodide of potassium and of massage, and this method is sometimes very efficacious. Under it I have seen the carotids of an elderly lady, which previously appeared to be as hard and rigid as tobacco - pipe stems, become comparatively soft and elastic, whilst the patient regained, to a corresponding extent, the power to sleep which she had lost. Where the arterial tension is very high, as in cases of arterio - sclerosis or contracting kidney, the high-frequency current is sometimes useful by lowering the blood pressure.
