This advertisement for a remarkable new and ‘painless” therapy for involutionary melancholia looks to me strained and strangely Ken Keasyian, John-Forbes-Nashian. The disease–not actually recognized as such by the DSM-5–was said to be lessened by “electro-tonic therapy”, which looks to me to be electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT. Evidently before treatment for illness like involutionary melancholia were available via antidepressants the ECT worked in some number of cases. Still to me this looks like all kinds of bad.
