Abstract
The purpose of this publication is clearly defined by the author himself in the preface to the book “... My work, he says, has a more modest task: I only wanted to give doctors the opportunity to practice ... to consciously and scientifically apply electrotherapy and diagnostics. ... In the department of private electrotherapy, I did not describe all the methods used by numerous authors in the treatment of each painful form, but pointed out only a few of them, which gave me the best results. ... I did not mention at all ... about those illnesses, in which electrotherapy, although recommended by some authors, but in which its meaning has not been established and requires even further provings and observations. " From these words, it can be seen that the book is intended by eye for practitioners, that it means to communicate information about the most commonly used tools and main medical procedures, and is compiled with the advantage based on the personal experience of the author.
