The recognition of electricity as a highly valuable remedial agent has also materially strengthened and enriched the means of relief and cure now placed at the disposal of the physician, while it has, in addition, furnished him with an unerring means of diagnosis in many nervous diseases hitherto most obscure. Taking all these facts into consideration, we can now say, that at length the origin of many obscure nervous diseases has been clearly ascertained, and the remedies best calculated to remove the morbid influence fully determined and understood; thus placing the physician in a position to treat with confidence, and full hope of a happy issue, diseases hitherto almost without the pale of curative medi- cine, but which may now be esteemed curable at any point short of actual structural degeneration.
