Excerpt from A System of Physiologic Therapeutics, Vol. 2 of 2: A Practical Exposition of the Methods, Other Than Drugging, Useful, in the Treatment of the Sick In addition to Dr. Jacoby's thorough treatment of the general subject of electrotherapy, this volume contains several articles on the uses of electricity in surgery and the specialties, by writers of experience and authority. In order that each of these supple m'entary chapters might be complete in itself, and for convenience of reference, some repetitions of material likewise to be found else where, have been permitted to stand. In every such case, however, some new facts have been added or the old facts have been discussed from a new viewpoint; so that the reader gains in information more than the book loses in theoretic symmetry.
