Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
It was with reluctance that I chose the harder course. I felt I could not leave altogether unfilled the many gaps disclosed, when comparing the daily routine of practice with what I had deemed would suffice. Even now I am painfully conscious of a number of matters of detail still omitted, but trust that the additions made justify my attempt to render the book less incomplete and more generally serviceable. My hope is that what has been added, despite admitted incompleteness and imperfections, may act as a further stimulant of thought and reflection in my readers. Otherwise the revision fails to attain the only justifiable object the book itself can have, namely, the advancement of the cause of physical therapy and the consequent advantage of the ever-increasing number of its beneficiaries. The day has passed when it was enough to try a little massage upon those unrelieved by more orthodox remedies. More and more is physical treatment being invoked in the earlier stages of illness or after recent injury :more and more is its general usefulness gaining recognition. Reasoned justification of this more general faith that is gradually being placed in massage and in all that the term implies must not be lacking ;it can be supplied effectively only by those who are convinced and taught by practice. To such I specially appeal to investigate some of the fresh paths which I have now tried to indicate. These particularly are the chapters on The Reeducation of Muscle, The Combination of Massage and Splintage in Orthopaedic Surgery, and The Re-education of Amputation Cases.
