Excerpt from The Medical News and Abstract, Vol. 39

In paralyses due to disease of the Spinal cord both forms of currents are applicable to diagnosis and to treatment. Thus, we meet with cases in which the muscles react differently to the faradic and galvanic currents - cases in which the muscles will not respond to faradic, but will respond to galvanic stimulation. There are other examples of paralysis in which the muscular contractility to both currents is retained; and still other cases present themselves In which the response to current stimulation is impaired merely and not lost.
