Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bedside and Wheel-Chair Occupations, Vol. 5
IN the medical history of the war there is nothing more striking or significant than the increasing use of manual work as a means of restoring lost efficiency and morale. Always it has been known that work, rightly used, is an efficient remedy; that it is needed, sooner or later, to complete the cure of any disabled man or woman. The remarkable thing is that the principle has all at once come into such wide recognition and acceptance and that some sort of occupation is now looked upon by so many medical men as essential as soon as the patient can possibly use his hands. Work as a remedy is coming into its own. It is already prescribed like medicine and usually is taken by the patient with the same confidence that he has in the pill or the draught.
