ABSTRACT
Many learned treatises on electricity are already before the world, but few if any purely practical methods have as yet been published which would enable the unscientific reader to apply electricity to the cure of disease on safe, reliable and scientific principles. When the author has been questioned by her friends, patients or pupils, what work they could consult that would enable them to utilize electricity as a reliable remedial agent in family practice, she has felt keenly the necessity for some treatise or guide devoted solely to this purpose, and free from the mass of irrelevant matter with which the literature of this subject is overladen, and it is with a view to meet this much needed desideratum that the following unpretentious pages have been written. The author does not deem it necessary to inform the reader how or when the uses of electricity were first discovered.
