Excerpt from Therapeutics of Dry Hot AirDry superheated air as a therapeutical measure has now been before the medical profession for several years, yet as far as the average practitioner is concerned it is still a new and unknown quantity. Even the latest text-books dismiss it with but a mention and only in connection with two or three pathological processes. This general ignorance of the agent is to be deplored, as, when skillfully administered, it is one of the most potent and useful at our command and applicable to many diseased conditions wherein the ordinary methods of treatment are unsatisfactory.In the following pages is set forth what has been ascertained in reference to hot-air therapeusis up to the present time. It has been considered desirable to mention brie¿y the other remedial measures which it is advantageous to apply to different diseased conditions in combination with this agent, because hot air is not an universal panacea. It is simply a rational therapeutical element which, alone or in combination with other remedial agents, will increase greatly our power to overcome pathological processes. In' order to appreciate its true value, therefore, it must be viewed in its various relations, not alone. Where necessary to elucidate the manner in which hot air produces its effects, the pathological features involved in the condition under consideration have also been brie¿y noted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
