About this title

Synopsis

The Effects Of Electricity In Paralytic And Rheumatic Affections, Gutta Serena, Deafness, Indurations Of The Liver, Dropsy, Chlorosis, And Many Other Female Complaints, &C. Illustrated With Avariety Of Cases Which Haveoccurred At The Medico-Electrical Rooms, No. 10, Leicester-Street, Leicester-Square. By Charles Henry Wilkinson. This work collects Wilkinson's early examinations of medical electricity, beginning with a Preface and an Essay On The Medical Effects Of Electricity, and presenting numerous case studies from the Medico-Electrical Rooms illustrating electricity's application to paralysis, rheumatism, eye conditions such as Gutta Serena, deafness, and various glandular and circulatory disorders. It also discusses observations on the ineffectivity of metallic trac tors and includes an Analysis of a Course of Lectures on Experimental Philosophy. The volume situates electricity as a therapeutic agent, arguing that with careful, ongoing application it can prove beneficial in diverse clinical contexts, while cautioning about limitations and circumstances in which it is not appropriate. The book also reflects Wilkinson’s effort to fuse medical practice with broader inquiries into natural philosophy, characteristic of late 18th to early 19th-century scientific culture.
