Handbook of Physical Therapies. T. I. Compiled by the staff of the State Leningrad. Physiotherapy. Institute, ed. by prof. S.A. Brushtein. 1928. 652 pp. Price: 12 p. 50 k. (revised)

Nowadays, physiotherapy is becoming, as Prof. Brushtein correctly says, the center of therapy for all specialties of medicine; it is a common therapy for all of them. Therefore, it is imperative that in our medical literature there should appear a complete, covering all specialties of medicine, a desk reference book for physicians on physiotherapy, understanding the latter in the broadest sense of the word. Such a plan, with full coverage of general and private physiotherapy, was outlined by Prof. Brushtein and his seven co-authors.
