FROM THE PREFACE TO THE SECOND' EDITION. 



In the present edition I have made many additions and improvements to render the 

 work more useful to those for whom it is intended. In response to what seems to me an 

 increasing desire for scientific treatment, I have developed more fully the modern methods 

 of ascertaining and expressing current strength, tension, resistance, etc. I have also en- 

 tered more fully into the polar method, and into the action and uses of the magnet. Thus 

 improved, I hope that the new edition will continue to enjoy the favor so largely 

 bestowed on the first. 



The second edition of this work following so > first, and has been brought up to the most recent 

 soon upon the first would in itself appear to be a advances of the science. It can in every way be 



sufficient announcement; nevertheless, the text 

 has been so considerably revised and condensed, 

 and so much enlarged by the addition of new mat- 

 ter, that we cannot fail to recognize a vast improve- 

 ment upon the former work. The author has pre- 

 pared his work for students and practitioners for 

 those who have never acquainted themselves with 

 the subject, or, having done so, find that after a 

 time their knowledge needs refreshing. We think 

 he has accomplished this object. The book is not 

 too voluminous, but is thoroughly practical, sim- 

 ple, complete and comprehensible. It is, more- 

 over, replete with numerous illustrations of instru- 

 ments, appliances, etc. Med. Record, Nov. 15, 1882. 



It is, fortunately, not such an interminable trea- 

 tise as most electro-therapeutists like to write. It 

 is not burdened with a needlessly learned termin- 

 ology, and is written more from the point of view 

 of .the physician than of the specialist. The second 

 edition has been considerably increased over the 



recommended to those who wish to read a lucid, 

 manageable monograph on this form of therapeu- 

 tics. Med. and Surg. Reporter, Nov. 4, 1882. 



A most excellent work, addressed by a practi- 

 tioner to his fellow-practitioners, and therefore 

 thoroughly practical. The work now before us 

 has the exceptional merit of clearly pointing out 

 where the benefits to be derived from electricity 

 must come. It contains all and everything that 

 the practitioner needs in order to understand in- 

 telligently the nature and laws of the agent he is 

 making use of, and for its proper application in 

 practice. In a condensed, practical form, it pre- 

 sents to the physician all that he would wish to 

 remember after perusing a whole library on medical 

 electricity, including the results of the latest in- 

 vestigations. It is the book for the practitioner, 

 and tne necessity for a second edition proves that 

 it has been appreciated by the profession. Physi- 

 cian and Surgeon, Dec. 1882.

Preventive Medicine. In one octavo volume of about 500 pages. In press. 



The immense strides taken by medical science during the last quarter of a century 

 have had no more conspicuous field of progress than the causation of disease. Not only 

 has this led to marked advance in therapeutics, but it has given rise to a virtually new 

 department of medicine the prevention of disease more important, perhaps, in its ulti- 

 mate results than even the investigation of curative processes. Yet thus far there has been 

 no attempt to gather into a systematic and intelligible shape the accumulation of knowledge 

 acquired on this most interesting subject. Fortunately, the task has been at last under- 

 taken by a writer who of all is perhaps best qualified for its performance, and the result 

 of his labors can hardly fail to mark an epoch in the history of medical science. The 

 plan adopted for the execution of his novel design can best be explained in his own words: 



" I have nothing to say in this volume that has any relation to the cure of disease, 

 but I base it nevertheless on the curative side of medical learning. In other words, I 

 trace the diseases from their actual representation as they exist before us, in their natural 

 progress after their birth, as far as I am able, back to their origins, and try to seek the 

 conditions out of which they spring. Thereupon I endeavor further to analyze those 

 conditions, to see how far they are removable and how far they are avoidable."

 eases of the alimentary tract from the mouth to surgery. Perverted nutrition is in some form

 devoted to symptoms, pathology and therapeutics, and we need all the light that can be obtained on 

 The present edition is fuller than former ones in a subject so broad and general. Dr. Habershon's 

 many particulars, and has been thoroughly revised work is one that every practitioner should read 

 and amended by the author. Several new chapters ] and study for himself. N. Y. Medical Journal,
