Erectile Dysfunction and Electrical Therapy
In the latter half of the 1800’s the use of electricity, in different forms, gained popularity as a means of healing numerous ailments. Erectile dysfunction, or impotence, was amongst those health disorders often treated by electrical currents.
The following article contains excerpts from the book “Plain Home Talk” : Embracing “Medical Common Sense” relating to erectile dysfunction and electrical therapy. The book was published in 1891 and written by Edward B. Foote, M.D.
“The causes of impotency are as numerous as those which produce nervous inharmony of any kind. Perhaps the most common are, intemperance in the use of stimulating food and drinks, masturbation, and sexual excess.” “Various medical devices have been resorted to by physicians to cure the disease, and it seems to me that no argument is needed to prove their inefficiency. The seat of the disease, as I have already shown, is not in the genital organs, except in occasional cases.” “In the great majority of them the disease is the result of a want of proper communication between the cerebellum and the organs of procreation. What is wanted, then, is some remedy, or remedies calculated to reestablish that connection.” “Is it not self evident that electricity in some form is alone capable of effecting this result?” “All that is necessary is to stimulate them into activity, and render them once more conductors of the telegraphic messages. In all other forms of paralysis, it is universally conceded that electricity is the true remedy. Then why not in this?” “Galvanism, electro-magnetism, and other forms of electricity are now extensively employed in the best institutions of the old world, and according to the testimony of Faraday, Golding Bird, Donnovan, Le Roy d’Eliolle, Cross, Palaprat, Smee, Matteucci, and other distinguished medical writers, with the most flattering results.”
Electrical Therapy : It's Reputation “The reputation of electricity has suffered, by its bungling application in the hands of inexperienced operators. As the effect must depend upon the form and mode of application, it is obvious that no one should apply it without definite instructions, unless he is acquainted with the science of therapeutic electricity and has some knowledge of anatomy and pathology.” “It is idle prattle to talk of making the lame walk by use of a single electro-chemical bath. Instances do occur upon which to base such exaggerations, it is true: I have seen many such surprising results attend my own operations.”
”But he who indiscriminately promises such success does positive injury in eight cases out of ten.”
Electrical Therapy and Personal Magnetism “Now, while I am well aware of the fallibility of this mode of treating disease, when adopted as a specialty by persons possessing the greatest amount of magnetism (and while I know that cures apparently effected by this power or agency alone, are seldom permanent ones, but reliefs of temporary duration) the truth cannot be gainsayed that the possession of this magnetic power is of vital importance to one who desires to be a successful electrical operator.” Electrical Therapy Medication “For my patients residing at a distance, and who cannot avail themselves of my treatment at my office, I prepare what I term “electrical medication”. “I do not mean to shock the good sense of my readers by saying that an electrical property can be imparted to medicines, but I do affirm, that I can prepare medicines in such a way that they will possess latent electrical properties which are at once rendered active by coming in contact with the gastric fluids of the stomach.” “In many cases, electrical medication is far more beneficial than applications of electricity, and in all cases it is more efficacious than the manipulations of ordinary operators.” “I will close this essay by inviting all who are laboring under this mortifying disease to call on me in person or consult me by letter.”
