Uses of Auto-condensation
This treatment is excellent for numerous conditions. A kind of cell massage is given, as the patient is charged inter¬mittently with the surge of current. The treatment also has a balancing effect upon the vasomotor system. The blood- pressure, when high to begin with, often drops several points during a treatment, and sometimes does not rise to its former , high point during the interval before the next treatment. As the entire body is saturated with the electricity, the kidneys participate in the benefits, and as a result most forms of kid¬ney diseases are benefited by autocondensation. However, if there is a pronounced degree of hardening of the arteries, the first few treatments must be given with caution, though usu¬ally after a few short mild treatments longer and stronger ones can be given. Similar precautions must also be taken with patients who are well advanced in years.
