The author's endeavor in this volume is to present the subject in a condensed form, especially for the use of medical students and trained nurses. The various chapters are entitled, "Introduction, Classification and Definitions," "Effect of Movements," "Gymnastic Postures," "Medical Gymnastics," "Massage," "General Massage Treatment," "Diseases of Respiratory Organs," Movements and Cardiac Diseases," "Mechano-Therapy Used in the Treatment of Rheumatism and Gout," "Diseases of Urinary Organs and Their Treatment by Mechano-Therapy," "Chronic Constipation," "A Short Review of Mechano-Therapy as an Agent in Treatment of Diseases of Children," "A Few Remarks Concerning the Use of Mechano-Therapy in Connection with the Diseases of the Nervous System," "Local Treatment." The subjects of uterine and ocular massage have been omitted, as the author considers that they belong more especially to specialists.
