Excerpt from Ionic Surgery in the Treatment of Cancer: With a Chapter on Ionization in Surgical Tuberculosis and in Hemorrhoids
This work embodies the results of sixteen years' surgical employment of the electrically diffused ions of zinc and mercury in the destructive sterilization of cancerous growths, and contains a description of the latest technical and operative details of the method, which was first presented to the medical world by the author in a paper read before the Philadelphia County Medical Society January 9, 1895, and published in the Medical News in the following March. To this technical consideration of the subject is appended a detailed report of all cases treated, whether the results were successful or not, arranged in accordance with the portion of the body affected. Believing that the recent increase in the attention bestowed on cancerous affections warrants it, a brief recapitulation of the known facts concerning these affections is given in the first portion of the book. A final chapter has been added on the ionic treatment of tubercular adenitis and of hemorrhoids.
While the report of a large number of cases of cancer may be dry reading to some who may peruse these pages, it was considered necessary to picture the results in full, for the method, though still a new one, has been employed for a sufficient time to obtain results by which to test the claims made for it. A statement of these claims will be found in Chapter VIII. The case histories, moreover, should be of particular value to those who have begun to use the method or who propose doing so, making it possible for them to avoid the errors and mistakes of the originator of the procedure.
