| Summary | "How to Use a Galvanic Battery in Medicine and Surgery" by Herbert Tibbits is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work addresses the therapeutic applications of galvanic electricity in medical practice, detailing its use in diagnosis, treatment, and the operation of various electrical apparatus. The text aims to provide practitioners with knowledge on how to effectively and safely use galvanic batteries for a range of medical conditions. The opening of the text introduces the author’s motivation to present practical knowledge on electro-therapeutics to medical practitioners. Tibbits acknowledges the growing interest and importance of electricity in medicine while addressing the lack of adequate training in medical schools regarding its application. He contrasts the responsible use of electricity in a medical setting against careless applications by the lay public, emphasizing the need for practitioners to familiarize themselves with the instruments and methods of application. The initial lecture focuses on the different types of electrical instruments, their construction, and the importance of proper handling, establishing a foundation for future discussions on applications and therapeutics in subsequent chapters.
