Electro-Therapeutical Practice is a practical reference for physicians who use electricity and the X‑rays in patient care.

This new edition compiles experience, technique, and safety notes to help clinicians apply electrotherapy with confidence.

Written by a leading expert, the book covers the properties of electricity, how different currents work in the body, and when to choose galvanic, faradic, or high‑frequency modalities. It includes hands‑on guidance on using devices, electrode placement, and treatment planning, with attention to potential dangers and the need for careful practice. The text also discusses the X‑ray’s diagnostic and therapeutic roles and emphasizes cautious, qualified use.

  • Techniques such as zinc cataphoresis and its use in treating superficial lesions and select ulcers
  • Electrodiagnostic approaches to nervous diseases, including practical tips for interpreting responses
