Book excerpt: Excerpt from Student's Manual of Electro-Therapeutics, Vol. 5 This little book is presented to the medical public, chiefly as a protest against the mysticism and charlatanry which have ever hung around the literature and practice of electro-therapeutics. As our scientific knowledge of other therapeutic procedures developed, they gradually escaped from the thraldom of quackery. Not so with electricity. Its showiness, its instantaneous and startling physiological effects, and its name, popularly synonymous with life, have long and will long continue to make it a fashionable remedy, a cure-all for imaginary diseases, a popular placebo, a gold mine for charlatans and symptom-treating physicians, who let their patients make the diagnosis and suggest the treatment. Never does the question, "Was my patient cured or did he get well?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
