Excerpt from A Treatise on Localized Electrization, and Its Applications to Pathology and Therapeutics The term dynamic electricity, that is to say, electricity in motion, has been used to denote the electricity produced by contact (galvanism), and the electricity caused by induction. This form, obtained from voltaic piles, or from an electro-magnetic apparatus, possesses physiological and therapeutical properties essentially different from those of static electricity. The most important property of dynamic electricity, regarded from a physiological or therapeutical point of view, is that by which its action can be directed to, and limited within, almost any organ of the body. It is shown, indeed, by my experiments, that we may at pleasure confine this agent to the skin, or may cause it to penetrate the skin, without puncture or incision, and may limit its action to the subjacent organs, the nerves, the muscles, or even the bones. Of this I shall give evidence in the sequel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
