EXERCISE means alternate muscular contractions and relaxations. A Faradic electric current applied to a muscle produces alternate muscular contractions, physiologically similar to those obtained from exercise. The principal feature in favor of the application of electrical currents is that the blood circulation is promoted to a greater extent than through any other method. So-called muscle tensing, as is well known, produces blood strangulation, which often leads to muscle binding, etc. Electricity exercises the muscles without great expenditure of physical and nervous energy; it stores energy instead of wasting it. It is surprising how quickly the muscles of the arms, legs, and chest will increase in size and firmness under the frequent applications of mild Faradic currents; the beneficial effects of the electrical currents on nutrition will cause thin persons to increase in weight very rapidly. We publish a little treatise on the different complaints that come under this heading which we will be pleased to send, sealed, on application. We can assure any man suffering from Nervous Debility that it is exactly in this peculiar condition of nervous exhaustion, weakness, general debility, or by whatever name it may go, that our battery produces the most remarkable results. And the greater the degree of exhaustion, the more utterly prostrated all the vital functions appear, the more astonishing and more emphatic are the benefits derived from the applications of the currents. The book of directions we send with each battery gives very full directions for treating these complaints, so that any man can apply the currents intelligently.
