![The Author's Chief Work. The Treatment of Disease by Electric Currents By S. A. MONELL, M. D. IN The Treatment of Disease by Electric Currents the author presents a working handbook of plain instructions for the genera] practitioner. He clears away many of the perplexities of the subject and concentrates into a few pages the essential facts of the physics and the physiology of galvanic, faradic and static currents. Thereafter every page of the book is practical therapeutics. Detailed directions are given for the selection of current, choice of poles, application of electrodes, regulation of dose, duration and frequency of treatment, and the most helpful clinical particulars throughout. The text has been prepared to serve as the basis for the author's clinical teaching, and every chapter is a clinic in itself. The author presents every essential scientific fact in plain language that can be understood, and no work upon electro-therapeutics has hitherto appeared in which directions for treatment have been so explicitly given. The great strength of the work is its complete representation of the prac- tical therapeutic uses of all three great medical currents in the office prac- tice of the physician. The section devoted to gyriecology is exceedingly valuable and complete. Genito-urinary affections in the male are also considered at length. Nervous and chronic diseases are treated with great detail. No attempt is made to exhaust the entire capabilities of electricity, but in every case in which it possesses practical clinical value its uses are described so that it can be employed by the reader as the author directs. The volume is unique in many respects and is marked throughout with the author's well-known practical idea of treatment. The book is devoted to treatment, and the }?teans of makincr treattnent,successful. It is a book that physicians have long desired and is the first work upon the subject which presents in a sing'le volume the special and com- parative merits of all forms of medical currents. To the practi- tioner who seeks to inform himself of therapeutic development for consul- tation purposes or for personal uses of electrical apparatus this volume is practically indispensable. This volume contains I lOO pages; size, octavo ; binding, extra cloth, gilt. Price, net, $7.50, postpaid. E. R.
