Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Principles of Medicine It does not appear to me that I used too strong an expression for merly in speaking of the confusion which has existed in medicine; and, as an example, I need only refer to the striking fact noticed in this work, that the two words, inflammation and irritation, which are most frequently in the mouths of medical men, are up to this day perpetually used in a double or equivocal sense. Inflammation is correctly used to imply disease, and incorrectly to signify the pro cess by which the damage done by the disease is repaired (pp. 58 Irritation is perpetually incorrectly used to signify a state of disease, as it can only be correctly applied to the process where by any thing irritates, annoys, or over-excites a part the irritant, irritating thing, whatever that be, by its operation (irritation) pro duces in the part morbid sensibility. One great Objection to using the term irritation to imply disease is, that irritation (the act of ir ritating) produces sometimes inflammation, and sometimes only morbid sensibility; but, according to the Old phraseology, irrita ti on produces irritation and inflammation produces sympathetic irritation and constitutional irritation, and sympathetic irritation and constitutional irritation arise from local irritation, &c. &c. In order to avoid this equivoque, I determined, in the present edi tion, to adopt the term morbid sensibility as the name for the diseas ed state usually implied by irritation, and to use the word irritation only in its proper sense and wherever the word irritation occurs in other works implying disease, it will be found that mordid sensibility may be substituted for it. In this alteration of a term, I consider that I have done the stu dent good service, rendering my own explanations more clear, and also those of other writers, by giving him an elucidation of the word irritation where it occurs as a disease in the valuable works of such authors as Sir A. Cooper, Travers, &c., and enabling him at a glance to distinguish whether it be mentioned as a cause or a symp tom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical First Principles: Simplifying the Study of Normal and Abnormal Structure and Function, and Aiding Diagnosis; Designed for the Use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine The object of this little book is to simplify the study of medicine for the beginner, and to connect the various sub divisions of this science in the minds of the busy practitioner in a rational and readily comprehended manner. There are, it seems almost needless to say, many who do not require this aid, and for such it is not intended, but it is offered to those who may find it useful. Its inception was the crystalliz ing experience of lecture room, dissecting room, and private teaching of students more than fifteen years ago. The plan followed in these pages is the same as that which in the past gave many a backward student a new impetus upon the high way of medical learning, as evidenced by his readier under standing of his lessons, and his improved standing in quizzes and periodic review examinations.

This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Medicine, and Medicine Without Principle When I first entered upon the duties of a Physician, I was struck by the fact that Medical Practice of all schools was destitute of any reliable principles governing treat ment of disease. That there was no certainty that the treatment of different physicians of any School of Medicine would be based upon the same fundamental ideas in any given case. Physicians of every school are liable to differ in regard to the expression of disease. They are also liable to differ as to treatment, even when they agree in diagnosis, i. E., in the description of disease. As I gained experience in the use of medicines I discovered certain land-marks or principles which have guided me in their application; and I have never known them to betray me. I publish an outline of these principles, because I believe them to be of great value to the public. Although a knowledge of them may not qualify every individual always to dispense with a professional doctor, it may. And should be, a protection against medical imposition; and, furthermore, we deem it but fair that one who finds fault with the practice of others should show a better way.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles and Practice of Medicine It is highly interesting to observe that Hahnemann instinctively fol lowed the same primary and necessary plan, in studying the effects of remedies, which the primitive physicians were obliged to follow in their first studies of disease. Hahnemann rejected the major part of the materials of all the physicians who preceded him, and as the human mind will always act in the same manner under like circumstances, be naturally took the identical primary and elementary steps, in the study and diagnosis of remedies, which the ancient physicians took in their first studies of disease and its diagnosis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Medicine: Introducing Medical Principles to Students and Non-Medical Readers A work on Medicine must be colored, in some degree, by its author's conception of the nature of Life. On this theme there are divers views, for the full discussion of which there is here no place. The author professes himself, however, an adherent of a school of thought that is not, at present, greatly in fashion. He ranges himself as a vitalist under the banner of Aristotle and as a follower in the goodly company Of Harvey, Hunter and Virchow, of Claude Bernard and Johannes Muller. He believes that there is a principle in living things that cannot be expressed in chemical or physical terms. He believes that this principle works to an intelligible end, that it is an Entelechy, an indwelling purposiveness, and that it is as real a thing as anything that is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Medicine: Founded on the Most Extensive Experience in Public Hospitals and Private Practice; And Developed in a Course of Lectures Delivered at University College, London The predisposing causes of the disease are, in the first place, a peculiar constitution, and disposition to it. There are some people who, in whatever way they may be exposed to the general causes of inflammation, continually get a sore throat. Whenever they are exposed to the vicissitudes of temperature, coldness, and moisture, they are sure to have inflammation of the throat; and this will run in families, so as to be constitutional. It certainly is predisposed to by mercury. When persons have been much under the influence of mercury, they are very liable (as I formerly mentioned, when speak ing of inflammation in general) to take cold from the vicissitudes of temperature; and the throat is certainly particularly liable to inflammation from this cause. The youthful period of life appears more liable to tonsillitis than old age; for we see far more cases of inflammatory sore-throat in the young, than in the old. Perhaps, among the predisposing causes, I might mention the season of the year - spring. Cases of this description certainly occur (from cold and wet) more frequently in the spring, than at any other period of the year. The exciting causes of the disease are, especially, cold and wet - whether applied to the body at large, or to the feet only. Cold applied in any way, is sufficient to produce the disease. With regard to the treatment, it is rarely necessary to take blood from the arm; but leeches around the throat, are particularly useful. I do not know that it is necessary to apply them internally to the fauces. I think that, applied externally, they answer every purpose they can; and that a free application of leeches, is far superior to blistering. As a general rule, in the treatment of inflammation, we must be upon our guard never to let blistering take the place of the removal of blood. If the inflammation be at all severe, you only harass a patient (in any disease whatever) by blistering, if there be a necessity to take away blood; and, in this disease, blistering is a very painful remedy. A blister produces great anguish, when applied to the throat; and does not, by any means, answer so good a purpose as leeches - the frequent application of leeches externally, under the lower jaw, followed by poultices. The application of poultices not only tends' to encourage the bleeding, but is a constant fomentation - a mode of relaxing the parts, and causing perspira tion there. If the patient be too weak for you to apply leeches, a blister then will be proper; or, if you have applied leeches as much as you think advisable, and still it is requisite to do more before the disease can be controlled, then blisters may be used with advantage. It must be remembered, however, that when a patient can bear leeches, you will find them the most useful.
