Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nursing and Care of the Nervous and the Insane
IN the present edition of this work the author, with the assistance of Dr. Yawger, has endeavored to bring it more nearly up to date. Such a book cannot be regarded as giving all the information necessary to be known by nurses concerning patients suffering from nervous and mental maladies. Useful anatomical and physiological data are to be found in the volumes upon anatomy prepared for nurses and in more general treatises. The book is chie?y intended to recall facts regarding nursing obtained by experience. Attention has been particularly directed to some new facts regard ing epilepsy, fibrositis and insanity. New illustrations of the charts and the apparatus most useful in electrical practice have been added. The unusually fine motor point plates from Dr. Toby Cohn's excellent work on Electro-diagnosis and Electro-therapeutics have been obtained through the courtesy of the author and his publishers. Instruction regarding hydrotherapy, not included in previous editions, has been incorpo rated. The author trusts that the book in its revised form will be found more useful than previous editions.
