Excerpt from Electricity, Its Application in Medicine and Surgery, Vol. 1: A Brief and Practical Exposition of Modern Scientific Electro-TherapeuticsThe writer, having, without doubt, devoted an unusual amount of time and study, not only to elec tro-therapeutics, but also to original experimental re search in general electrical science, rendering himself thoroughly conversant with electrical engineering in all its branches, even to such an extent as to have ia troduced the electric railway and the electrical trans mission of power into this country, as well as assisted in familiarizing electrical engineers with the principles involved in the scientific design and construction of commercial electro-dynamic and dynamo-electric machinery, will perhaps be pardoned for assuming what to many will appear a somewhat dogmatic atti tude in this brief exposition of the science of electro therapeutics. In dealing with a subject covering so much ground, with the brevity that the confines of the present work demands, one must, however, speak to the point and authoritatively, avoiding all lengthy discussions and descriptions of the highways and by ways leading to the conclusions enunciated. Should the statements of the writer be questioned, recognized authorities must be consulted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
