Abstract
MAJOR SAMPSON defines physiotherapy as “the use of physical remedies in the treatment of disease or dis-ability,” and classifies these remedies as thermal, chemical, mechanical, and electronic. Of the value of such methods of treatment there can be no doubt, but the author of “Physiotherapy Technic “has certainly not justified his claim that physiotherapy is destined to be the salvation of therapy. The main defect in this book is the very loose style of thinking and construction which it indicates. For the description of one technique we are referred to “Treatment of Optic Neuritis,” but have failed to find the reference. The statement that “things not equal to the same thing are not equal to each other “is absurd, but its appearance as an argument in a scientific text-book is worse than absurd.
