Neuralgia And Rheumatism Of The Heart
Categories: PRESCRIPTIONS.Sources: A Newly Discovered System Of Electrical Medication
If neuralgia, use B D current; if rheumatism, use A D. In either
case, treat the heart with P. P., moderate force, placing N. P. at lower
dorsal or upper lumbar vertebrae. Treat five to eight minutes, daily,
until relief is gained.
Rheumatism of the heart may be distinguished from neuralgia by its
occasioning irregularity in the cardiac contractions, commonly a sense
of soreness and pain under pressure by the hand, and often perceptible
enlargement of the organ, which neuralgia does not, and also by its
pains being more constant--less fitful--than those of neuralgia.
