Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Static Electricity in X-Ray and Therapeutic Uses Medical electricity has three great subdivisions, Static, Galvanic, and Faradic. The demonstration that the static machine affords the best means of exciting X rays within a Crookes tube gives it now an extraordinary interest to the physician and surgeon, and places it in the front rank of high potential apparatus. In this volume the author aims to present in a concise and intelligible form the essential facts relating to static electricity and its successful application to the treatment of disease. It will describe how to care for and operate the best type of modern static machine, and will set forth as clearly as possible therapeutic indications for the various methods of administering the currents which it produces. Lengthy descriptions of obsolete apparatus are entirely omitted in favor of the fullest practical account of clinical details. The chapter upon X-ray methods describes in full the necessary static technique. The therapeutic section of the book presents the clinical experience of the author and others and describes methods of treatment with painstaking exactness. The static machine is now to be found in the offices of many physicians both in large and in smaller cities, and its use is not alone confined to special practitioners and institutions. The X ray is spreading it rapidly. As it has become better known it is more frequently employed, and each improvement in its construction has marked a new step toward a popular career. In spite of its antiquity as a medical apparatus, it is but on the threshold of its real introduction to the profession at large. Those who have used it successfully during the past decade have rejoiced greatly at the advantages it has given them, but little or no effort has been made to develop its literature and spread abroad the knowledge of its usefulness.
