Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conservative Gynecology and Electro-Therapeutics: A Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Women and Their Treatment by Electricity With all modesty, therefore, but with a lively appreciation of the importance of the facts and methods herein detailed in enabling the progressive physician to save his patients from the dangers of both neglect and of misapplied methods of treatment, the author commends this work to his professional brethren and bespeaks for it a share of attention and kind consideration at least as great as that accorded to each of its predecessors. Thanks are due to Mr. Xanthus Smith, the well-known artist, for the accuracy of the illustrations that appear here for the first time. Instead of reproducing the new classical drawings of the motor points of the nerves and muscles, it was thought best to secure greater accuracy by verifying each point on the person of a professional model and then photographing the living subject. Plates VIII and IX are, therefore, half-tone reproductions of actual photographs, and it is hoped that this method of depicting the real situation of these points will lead to greater ease in their location than has been the case in the past. The services of a professional model were also invoked in the more realistic delineation of the therapeutic procedures shown in Plates III to VII. In preparing the series of colored plates showing the appearance of the cervix and uterine discharges in typical cases of disease, in which Mr. Smith was engaged in pioneer work in medical illustration special thanks are due to Drs. J. Montgomery Baldy, W. A. Newman Dorland, Frank W. Talley, Theodore A. Erck, Oliver Hopkinson, and Carrie Chase Davis for facilities afforded in securing the typical cases from which sketches were made.
