COMMENTS - Dr. Seward has related a number of cases in which the injudicious use of electric baths brought on tuberculosis. In another case the chest and arms became stiff and paralyzed. A young married woman, who had general and local (uterine) electric treatment, complained after it of feeling very heavy, as if she weighed a ton.
One patient after a bath, said his chest and shoulders “felt like marble.” He became tubercular and died. The paralysis caused by electricity was in several cases quickly relieved by Morph. acet., both in the solution and in the potencies.
COMPARE - (1) Phos. is the best antidote to the effects of storms. (2) Rhod. is worse before a storm. (3) Galvanismus and Magnetismus.
