How Insanity Is Cured By Shock Therapy
Dr. Ernst Gellhorn presented shock therapy for certain insanity forms at the American Medical Association convention in San Francisco. Insulin and metrazol trigger deep brain shock, notably helping young patients with split personality, though the method is dangerous and has caused deaths. Injection treatments for insanity offer an alternative to surgery, with favorable results when properly administered. Dr. Clendening answers readers questions on claudication and cosmetics, and editors note books by Clendening available for purchase.
