A Belt with a fair number of Galvanic Discs attached will be required, and occasionally the use of the Battery Belt is needed. Dysmenorrhea, or painful menstruation, when not due to any mechanical cause the Electropathic appliances afford very marked relief, but advice should always be sought before selecting any appliances. The various uterine displacements together with other morbid conditions of the uterus, that it is not necessary to speak of here, can often be cured, or at any rate sensibly relieved by properly directed electrisation.
