Electro-Homoeopathic Medicine: A New Medical System

PREFACE

HE Author has had the privilege of interview- ing and corresponding with a large number of persons who have wished to become acquainted with the best methods of using Count Mattei’s medicines. He has thus learnt both what the majority of students of the new medical system most wish to know, and also what they find it most difficult to ascertain from the handbooks which have already been published. He has discovered that there is a real need of just the kind of book which he has striven to produce. In the following pages he has endeavoured to provide heads of families, clergymen and others with sufficient information respecting common diseases, and the best methods of treating them to render it possible for them to make good use of the interval between the discovery of disease and the appearance of a medical adviser, or to treat simple complaints when the assistance of a medical man is not deemed necessary.

This book has been written chiefly for the benefit of those who have already become convinced of the value of the Mattei medicines. It is, however, also designed to supply inquirers with such information and evidence as may serve to lead these to try them.

The introductory chapters contain answers to some of the objections which have been raised against the remedies. And the appendix supplies a brief epitome of the treatment which has proved successful in com bating various serious diseases, including some which are usually regarded as incurable.

Count Mattei has suggesteda few simple testa one which may serve to convince inquirers that his remedies possess the properties which he attributes to them, Every one will have an opportunity of performing or two of these interesting experiments. The old adage says that the proof of the pudding is in the eating. It is equally true that the proof of the medicine is in the using. Those, therefore, who doubt the state- ments made by Matteists with reference to the Count’s mysterious drugs had better test them for themselves and see whether the following things do not occur.

(1.) A compress of Green Electricity will relieve articular pains, the pains of external Cancers and pains from any kind of ulcer.

(2.) 10 to 20 Globules of Scrofolso, will sober an in- toxicated person, provided he is not an habitual drunkard.

(3.) 1 to 3 Globules of the same remedy, together with the application of Red Electricity to the pit of the stomach, will cure an attack of nervous indigestion.

(4.) Compresses of Blue Electricity applied to a bleeding wound, will stop hæmorrhage, relieve pain and promote cicatrization.

 (5.) A few drops of Blue Electricity poured into the palm of the hand and applied lightly over the heart, will relieve palpitation.

The Author is greatly indebted to Miss R. of Hampton Wick and to Dr. C. Stirling Saunder, of 64, Welbeck Street, Cavendish Square, for many valuable hints and for assistance in correcting the proofs. He will feel obliged to any other careful observers who will report to him the results of their experiments with the various Mattei Remedies, and will welcome any suggestions which are likely to assist him in pre- paring a revised edition of the present work.
