1890555761890. Telegraphic Journal 27 August 22 1890. - Berlin Printed by L. Schumacher 1 1890 8° 3 1 pp. orig. Broschur. Rare offprint of the International Congress of the "An Account of Some Experiments upon the Application of Electrical Endosmose to the Treatment of Gouty Concretion" presented to the International Medical Congress in Berlin Germany. Thomas Alva Edison 1847-1931 was a pioneer in his ideas of how drugs should be administered. In 1890 he published "An Account of Sonic Experiments upon the Applica-tion of Electrical Endosmose to the Treatment of Gout" This paper illustrates Edison's genius in tackling a problem physicians had failed to solve. It concerned the therapy for gouty arthritis which had been attempted by oral administration of lithium salts. The results were not satisfactory because-as Edison reasoned-the therapeutic agent did not reached the inflamed area in sufficiently high concentrations. By applying the laws of electricity and chemistry to medicine he introduced the modern principle of iontophoresis. When a solution of the negatively charged lithium salt was applied to the skin the ions would be forced to penetrate the skin by connecting a positive electrode of an electric Circuit to the lesion."

Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor who developed many devices including the motion picture camera the phonograph and the electric light bulb. He played a pivotal role in the development of sound recording technology through his company Edison Phonograph Works. Established in New Jersey on May 31888 this company was instrumental in refining the phonograph a device Edison had originally invented in 1877. The firm focused on manufacturing and improving wax cylinder recordings which became the dominant medium for early sound reproduction. Edison’s commitment to innovation led to advancements in both phonograph design and the mass production of recorded music and spoken-word content. Despite competition from emerging disc-based technologies Edison Phonograph Works remained influential in the industry until it was eventually absorbed into Thomas A. Edison Inc. in 1924. The company’s legacy endures as a foundational contributor to the modern recording industry. Edison Phonograph Works unknown
