Description
Excerpt from Modern Physio-Therapy: A System of Drugless Therapeutic Methods; Including Chapters on X-Ray Diagnosis and Suggestions
In submitting this book to the indulgent consideration of my readers I feel disposed to refrain from giving the usual explanation or making the customary apology. The two hundred or more physicians from all parts of the American continent whom it has been my privilege to instruct in the theory and practice of modern therapeutic methods during the past three years, have always without exception expressed a desire to possess a book of instruction which would enable them to refreshen their memory concerning the theoretical but more especially the clinical features of the work done at the Cincinnati Post-Graduate School of Physiological Therapeutics. Thus it seems but fair that those whose enthusiasm for drugless methods and good will for the author were instrumental in the conception and final birth of "Modern Physio-therapy" should shoulder a large share of responsibility if the progeny should prove a disappointment to its parents.
In reproducing my lectures and demonstrations in book form I have adhered to the spirit and letter of delivery almost throughout, if only to avoid the dryness and orthodox "correctness" of a text-book. Physio-therapy is - in a medical sense - the living issue of the day. Hence the realism and fervor of viva voce presentation seem appropriate. The reader may miss the half-hearted, semi-apologetic way in which most of the books and journals refer to physiological methods as "valuable adjuncts."
