Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Remedies for Disabled Soldiers Within the last year physical methods of treatment in military cases have attracted considerable attention, and in one form or another have been adopted in many places throughout the country. Much progress has been made in introducing them, or improving their administration, in the Army Medical Service, in the Auxiliary Military Hospitals, and also at the British Health Resorts. Any writer may well hesitate in face of so large a subject, for, indeed, its adequate treatment would require the combined knowledge of many specialists, - in Hydrology, Electrotherapeutics, Radiology, Mechano-therapeutics, Remedial Exercises and Training, and Medical Climatology. All these sciences are now growing so rapidly that it is evident there must be for many years to come a corresponding development in medical practice. Physical treatment is the convenient term which denotes the remedial use of these closely related physical forces. It may now claim to be a special department of Medicine, not in respect to the organs or diseases treated, but in respect to the remedies employed. The practitioner who at the present time chooses to devote himself to it will have a double reward, not only by making a sensible contribution to the vast problem of the restoration of the wounded soldier, but also by adding something of permanent value to medical science and art. I shall be satisfied if the present work may serve as a guide over rather unfamiliar ground, showing how certain valuable and closely allied methods of treatment may be utilized to the best advantage upon a basis of accurate observation and records.
