Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 It seems that a man named Duchenne, was, in the 1800's, THE recognized authority on the application of electricity for diseases. His book, On Localized Electrization and Its Application to Pathology and Therapeutics, is downloadable through books.google.com. It is translated from the French by Tibbets--spelling may be off some. Anyway, at the bottom of page 44 Duchenne is saying that the tendency of electricity to go around an organ instead of through it has been overcome very simply by ----- pages 45 and 46 are missing--and the text takes up on page 47 with the desired information missing. That info is of course how he gets the current to go through the organ instead of around it. I don't know if there are other copies of this book available that have the missing pages. Anybody here know how to check for other copies--that is, how to check easily? I had to look for a long, long time to find just the one copy. If I have to, I will look more for other copies, but I'll bet some of you will be able to find out everything in less than 10 minutes and do us all a great favor. Also, there are probably copies of this book in restricted areas in several libraries some of which may be near some of you. That info is available on the books.google.com site so if necessary maybe someone can actually go and look at the book itself and get the information. Odd that those particular pages should be missing. Hope this message does not offend anyone. Had the list not been so quiet I would not have sent this out. But maybe someone is having not much to do and it is a rainy day or some such. pj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Can you share the link to this book? I went to Google books and put in the title but all I can come up with is the Handbook of Medical Electricity download by Tibbit and A Practical treatise on the medical & surgical uses of electricity by Beard and Rockwell.
