Taken as a whole the work done by Dr. Massey in his "Electricity in the Diseases of Women," is very satisfactory, and helps to fill a deeply-felt need of the practitioner, viz: a modern scientific work on electricity. The rapid development and recent scientific demonstrations of this subject have rendered former authorities almost absolute, and as yet comparatively nothing has arisen to take their place.
While Dr. Massey's book covers but a limited portion of this vast subject, it still is in most respects, scientific and will prove of assistance to the practitioner who is desirous of employing electricity as a therapeutic agent.
But little space is occupied by the consideration of the physics of electricity proper, but the detailed experiments given in chapters III and IV are well conceived, and will do much toward clearing up this intricate subject to the minds of the uninitiated, and they should be
