Excerpt from The Therapeutics of Radiant, Light and Heat and Convective Heat AT the request of students and other members of the profession for a condensed manual on the employment of radiant light and heat, the writer has been induced to prepare the following chapters. In considering the subject, attention has been devoted to the elucidation of the physiological actions, practical indica tions, and methods of employing radiant light and heat from the modern point of view. It will be found by investigators that there is much to be derived from the scientific employment of these measures in therapeutics; and that the field of indication is much greater than the rank and file of the profession are aware of.
