Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1883, Vol. 86 The treatment by the continuous galvanic current was persisted in faith fully for a long period, but, as it did not afford any permanent relief, it was finally decided to resort to more positive measures. I advised that one or both of the nerves supplying the affected part, the median and radial, be stretched, and she entered the hospital the 9ih of February, 1882. At a consultation with the surgeons, Drs. Hunt and Morton, it was thought well to try Specific treatment before resorting to operative meas ures, and she was, therefore, put on large doses of the iodide of potassium and given mercurials, with, however, no beneficial results. Hence it was finally resolved to stretch the median nerve; but to await the result of this measure before disturbing the radial.
