Under electrotherapy treatment of various diseases when Using the galvanic current, ionizing metals and solutions are given, also various antiseptics: The technique of coagulation is also described; the indication for surgery are mentioned in many cases. \u003cbr\u003e     None of it is internal medication; antiseptic measures are certainly necessary, and not to know when surgery is indicated is to be unqualified as a doctor. \u003cbr\u003e     I have included all of this believing that, although you as a Chiropractor, Naturopath or Drugless Physician, may never use it, still you should have the knowledge. \u003cbr\u003e     It is my sincere desire to please all practitioners of the Drugless Healing Sciences. I want this book be useful in many years to come. If you cannot use some of the technique described herein legally in your particular state today, do not attempt it. The time will come when the law will be amended to include the use of these metrics. \u003cbr\u003e     If you had the complete knowledge of every healing method known to date and applied them in your practice, you still would not obtain successful results in all your cases. It stands to reason that your success will be in proportion to the amount of that knowledge you do possess and apply. \u003cbr\u003e     My object in the preparation of this book is to present to progressive practitioners a complete knowledge of Natural Drugless Therapeutics.\" - from the preface to the book, although, there may be typos created by my own efforts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67630100054125,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0649\/files\/20261004_152431.jpg?v=1791153826","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandcobooks.com\/products\/principles-and-practice-of-drugless-therapeutics-by-a-c-johnson-1939-2nd-edition","provider":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
