Synopsis
Excerpt from Cataphoresis or Electric Medicamental Diffusion
The author's aim has been to gather between two covers and to put forth to the medical and dental professions much of what has been done, including his own work upon Electric Medicamental Diffusion.
The perforated electrodes alone, devised by the writer. Make possible an extension of electro-cocaine anaesthesia into surgery hitherto impossible.
And here a word as to the subdivisions of this work and the plan upon which it is written. The author has found it impossible to write a book for the dental profession alone without including in it much that had been done in the broader branch of general medicine, for so enlarged has now become the scope of dental practice that it in reality is inseparable from medical and surgical practice. Indeed it should be at once and finally conceded that the dentist is the physician whose specialty is the dis eases of the mouth and its appendages, both in a surgical and medical sense as well as in mechanical details. Both dentist and physician, therefore, if he reads it at all, should read the entire work, to gain a comprehensive View.
