Of these one of the most important is the electrical current, the uses of which in medicine and surgery have developed so enormously in the last fifteen years that it is impossible to discuss all of them fully in a single volume of convenient size. Nevertheless, in the following pages an effort has been made at least to mention all the ways, direct and indirect, in which electricity may be of assistance in the diagnosis and treatment of both medical and surgical affections, and to give detailed consideration to the action and the methods of employing the current in the various conditions of disease in which it is beneficial. To possess any value, a work on such a vast field cannot be based on the experience of any individual.

In aiming to give a survey of the entire field, the author has endeavored to exercise conservative judgment and to offer a work suitable both for students and practitioners. For the intelligent use of electricity as a remedial agent, a knowledge of the changes in the tissues and functions of the various organs of the body caused by its passage is essential. What may be termed electrophysiology is therefore most important. In treating the whole subject an original plan has been adopted. The custom hitherto has been to consider the physiological action, therapeutic uses, and methods of application of each form of current separately. In this volume, on the contrary, th
