	Before second World war, diathermie was popular. This technique
consisted in sending a continuous 1 amp current to the testicles, using
electrodes, to give a flogging to the tired glands. But a more convenient
method could be used and much less tidous: small balls of radium, settled
in place by straps, to deliver to the right place "slightly stimulating" X
rays doses
