Although these local agents often accomplish the purpose desired, I much prefer electrical and physical agents, especially the high-frequency currents applied with a glass electrode or in the form of mild fulguration or the effluve spray. Galvanism and faradicism present no advantages over the currents just mentioned. Cataphoresis, X-raying, especially short exposures with intermittent flashes, radium and phototherapy, which includes the Finsen apparatus. London Hospital lamp or other modifications of actinic light rays, have all been serviceable in stubborn cases. As hyperemia of the affected area is most desirable, the repeated application of Bier’s suction and exhaustion cups is especially valuable. Selection of a remedy for internal use, especially in the neurotic type is most important and can be made from a large number of drugs. Among these I may mention Calcarea phos., Fluoric acid., Phosphorus, and Vinca minor.
