By Isaac James Hartford

Book Overview

""An Original Treatise On Electro-Vital Force"" is a book written by Isaac James Hartford and published in 1908. The book is an in-depth exploration of the concept of electro-vital force, which was a popular theory in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that attempted to explain the relationship between electricity and the human body. Hartford's treatise is divided into several chapters, each of which delves into a different aspect of electro-vital force. The first chapter provides an overview of the history of the theory and its various proponents, while the second chapter delves into the scientific principles that underlie the concept. Subsequent chapters explore the relationship between electro-vital force and various bodily functions, including digestion, circulation, and respiration. Hartford also examines the use of electro-vital force in medical treatments, including electrotherapy and the use of electric currents to stimulate muscles and nerves. Throughout the book, Hartford presents his own ideas and theories about electro-vital force, drawing on his own research and experimentation. He also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the complex concepts he discusses. Overall, ""An Original Treatise On Electro-Vital Force"" is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century medical theory and practice, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and medicine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
