      ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND DISEASE . Just published , price Is .,, free by post for 13 stamps . SECOND LIFE ; Or Electrical Xervous Force : A Medical Work intended for the special perusal of all . who are suffering from the various modes of nervous and physical debility , and the distressing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical observations on the great curative power of electro-galvanism in the treatment of these disorders , by infusing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated from various enervating causes . Illustrated with cases compiled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practitioner of twenty years ' standing ! .. . tJulike many vaunted restoratives , electricity is one which commends itself , to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology . By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the electrical and nervous energies are identical ; hence , that when the latter fails , the former can take its ' place ,-and that when , from irregularities of a . nv kind , the nervous system has become debilitated , paralysed , or exhausted , and the patient brought to a conditition little short of total ¦ prostration , then , by the action of electricity , imparting . certainty and efficacy to medical treatment , he can be rc-invigorated , and his health re-established to a degree almost wan-anting the designation of Second Life . . Published by the author , and may be had of Mann , 39 , Onrnhill . and all booksellers .
