    PREFACE. In presenting' this little volume as an aid to the more rational use of electricity in the medical profession the author is not unmindful of the fact that much literature of a contradictory and confus- ing nature has been written and published. In the present work, however, all superfluous verbiage has been discarded; no theories are ad- vanced, no pathology given, and there is no war waged on the various writers and teachers of electro-therapy because of different views and theories held by them, but the aim of the writer has simply been to teach plain facts and simple rules for the guidance of the great mass of practi- tioners who, it is supposed, have learned theory and pathology from their text-books, but desire to use electricity in their practice principally as an adjunct to other therapeutic agents; it is not in- tended to convey the idea that electricity is a specific for the various pathological conditions mentioned in this work.
