Rational hydrotherapy : a manual of the physiological and therapeutic effects of hydriatic procedures, and the technique of their application in the treatment of disease . in all conditions for which generaland local applications of heat are applicable, the electric-light bath stands pre-eminent. Chronic malarial cachexia, syphilis, diabetes, obesity,neuritis, neuralgia, acute nephritis, migraine, neurasthenia,tetany, habit chorea, and hysteria yield good results to thethermic impressions of the electric ray. In rheumatic and anemic patients, and in all cases whenthe heat-making capacity is small, the electric-light bathserves an exceedingly useful purpose in preparing the skin forcold applications by storing up in it supplies of heat. And itserves a useful purpose in this way, not only in preparing thepatient for tonic applications of water, but as a means ofproducing most excellent revulsive effects. For pure revulsiveeffects, only the circulatory reaction is desired, it being, infact, necessary to suppress thermic reaction the duration of cold applications which follow hotapplications should be such as exactly to neutralize the heat.
