Dr. Voll’s volumes on Electro-Acupuneture have been well known on the German scene for many years. It appears, therefore, to be justified to make them known to the English speaking world. The translation was faced with the problem to maintain the author's own way of writing and yet find adequate equivalents in English. Latin international medical nomenclature has been preserved as far as possible. Electro-Acupuncture is a new field of medical science and seems to have been more advanced in Germany than elsewhere. So, the student of Dr. Voll’s volumes has to acquaint himself with a new science in addition to many new terms, some of which were not yet widely used on the English speaking scene. The translater himself has published on acupuncture and hopes to have been able, among others by a thorough revision of Voll’s pre- ceding volumes, to make all ends meet. H. Schuldt, M. D., M.

For this reason the standard volume “The topografic position of the measurement points in electro-acupuncture” consisting of one textual volume and two illustrated volumes is edited in three world languages (English, Spa- nish and French). Two major works on “20 years of electro-acupuncture diagnostics and electro-acu- puncture therapy by means of low frequency current impulses according to Voll” were published in English in the “American Journal of Acupuncture“ in March and December 1975. These works give an ample survey on the multiple diagnostic and therapeutic facilities. The illustrated volumes and the textual volume form the basis for the localization of the measurement points for diagnostics and therapy. I wish to thank Dr. H. Schuldt, Hamburg, who carefully prepared the translation of these volumes. I wish to thank the ML-Publishing Company, Uelzen, for printing the translation, It was only by excellent co-operation between author, translater, and publisher that this difficult task could succeed.

Born in Berlin on 17 Feb., 1909 as che son of an architect, Dr. Voll soon developed an interest in technology and as a radio amateur during his high school years laid the foundations for his later research in Electro-Acupuncture. After graduating from high school he followed in his father’s foot steps and took up studies in architecture at the ‘Technical University of Stuttgart only to find out that medicine was his real vocation. His interest during his medical studies at the Universities of Tuebingen and Hamburg soon focused on anatomy, and it is only wich a sound basis in human anatomy that modern acupuncture can be practised effectively. During his medical career Dr. Voll engaged in preventive medicine both in industry and child welfare and settled down as a medical practitioner in Southern Germany in 1943. As carly as 1953 he began practising Electro-Acupuncture and since 1959 has exclusively devoted his entire medical activity to this newly developed science. In 1956 he founded and intensively promoted the Association for Electro-Acupunc- ture which was changed into an international organisation in 1961 with Dr, Voll as the president until 1972, when he became honorary president. ‘The Association, with members in more than 17 countries, offers training courses for medical doctors and dentists and has held more than 120 such courses in Flectra-Act- puncture diagnostics and therapy, in addition to workshops, and scientific sessions mainly in Germany. Ever since Electro-Acupuncture has been gaining more and more dedicated followers which proves that Dr. Voll’s far-reaching concepts opened the gates for new significant approaches in medical diagnostics and therapy.
