Excerpt from The Medical Application of Electricity
This treatise is respectfully inscribed to those Members of the Medical Profession who wish to avail themselves in their practice of a principle of nature, which occupies a central position, both in regard to organized and unorganized matter, - which has already accomplished something for medical science, but which is still undeveloped in its most important relations to physiology. The only value claimed for these pages is in their connection with present experience. They are intended simply to facilitate the application of electricity to disease in the existing state of our knowledge, and, if it may be, to aid others, especially American practitioners, in advancing a high department of physiological science.
The instruments here described, and which this book is intended to accompany, are those prepared by Mr. Thomas Hall, successor to Daniel Davis, well known as the earliest manufacturer of electro-magnetic apparatus in this country; to whose liberality in experiment, and ingenuity in construction, the present form of electro-magnetic instruments, of all descriptions, here and elsewhere, is due, probably, more than to any other person.
