Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medicine a Science, or Disease an Unit If Medicine is not destined to forever halt in the domain of Empiricism, - if it is capable of becoming a Science - then there must be a common condition lying at the bottom of all special diseases, - then all pathological phenomena must acknowledge a common cause. This, and this alone, can constitute medicine a Science; this, and this alone, constitutes Astronomy a science. The efforts of Newton were not directed to the discovery of original individual facts, but rather to the discovery of the connecting links which should serve to bind together the individual facts and minor generalizations attained by his predecessors, into one great Whole. In attempting to accomplish for Medicine, what Newton accomplished for what is called Physical Science, we may seem to attempt the unattainable; but believing that there is nothing in the nature of our subject which forbids a reasonable expectation of its accomplishment, - believing that the individual facts and minor generalizations are abundant and ready, and that the advanced Medical Mind is now prepared to receive and appreciate their connection, we boldly encounter the task; resting all upon the validity of our arguments, hoping for nothing which cannot stand the test of the severest logical criticism. That there is nothing in the present state of Medicine which forbids the conclusion that our object is attainable, may be seen in the fact, that Astronomy and all that are bow called exact sciences, were once in a state of Empiricism - once occupied the same ground, that medicine now occupies, - once encountered the same difficulty, - the Cause of physical phenomena being deemed occult, innate, mysterious and past finding out - having its analogy in the Vital Force of physiologists.

Download or read book Disease an Unit Or Medicine a Science Classic Reprint written by H. Backus and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Disease an Unit, or Medicine a Science That there is nothing in the present Empirical State of Medicine - nothing in the doctrine that pathological phenomena are produced by distinct, specific causes, and therefore not capable of connection - which forbids the conclusion that all may be produced by a common cause, is seen in the fact that Astronomy was once in a state of Empiricism that Astronomical phenomena were once thought to be produced by distinct, specific causes, and therefore not capable of connection. That there is nothing in the Diversity of pathological phenomena which forbids the conclusion that disease is a unit, is seen in the fact that quite as great Diversity in what are called physical phenomena, have been reduced to a common Law. Complex and obscure as the laws of the material universe may appear to the superficial observer, surrounded by difficulties and lost in the maze of phenomena around him, he might be tempted, like the philosophers of old, to refer every effect to its own peculiar cause; a cause innate to theosub stance, essential to it, and animating like a soul. Far otherwise are the con elusions arrived at by him who, patiently investigating the appearances of the material world, is guided by the inductive reasoning of the Baconian school; he traces effects to their proximate causes, and generalizing these, is led to the discovery of a few simple laws, obeying which, atom unites to atom, and mass to mass, to form a World, rolling in its appointed sphere around the centre of our system, the great source of light and heat; he soon discovers that, in the beautiful simplicity of Nature's laws, the apparently' most insignificant, and the most gigantic effects are frequently produced by one and the same cause; he discovers that the very law which presides over the motions of the luminous orbs which roll in space around him, causes the' scattering of flour from the edge of the mill-stones, and of drops of water from the wet revolving carriage-wheel. That the law regulating the falling of an apple towards the earth, is identical with that which retains the moun tains on their broad basis, and the planets in their spheres. Nay, more, he learns that with such consummate wisdom have cause and effect been related. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 922 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Science and Practice of Medicine, or the Pathology and Therapeutics of Internal Diseases The preparation of such a work has been long in contemplation, suggested by the requests of students, and their evident want of a text-book to follow the lectures on this subject in the Medical Schools with which the writer has been connected. The task has finally been executed, in compliance with conditional promises made to stu dents, and to numerous practitioners who had formerly attended these schools, and who have expressed a desire to have the substance of the teaching they had received, in a more precise and permanent form. For reference and study. There are other reasons, however, than the partiality and wishes of former and present students, or the wants of prospective ones, which may be adduced to favor the claims of this work to a place, whatever place that may be, in our literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Medicine The volume was entitled Introduction to the Study of Medicine; but, in reality, it is far more than that. The several chapters on Evolution of Diseases, Examination of the Sick, Clinical Application of Scientific Procedures, Diagnosis and Prognosis, and Therapeutics, covering two hundred pages, are of a character to engage the attention even of practitioners of considerable experience. I was not surprised, therefore, when some of our clinicians of the highest reputation wrote to me of the profound interest with which they had perused this translation of Roger's work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Thermo-Electrical or Natural System of Medicine: The Science of Life, Health, and Disease; Explanatory of the Mysteries of Man's Existence, and All the Phenomena of Life IT is now fourteen years since I published a work on the Philosophy of Life, Health, and Disease'-embodying new and original views explanatory of the mysteries of man's existence, and of the laws ordained by Creative Wisdom - by which he moves and thinks - by which he digests food and it sustains life - and, by the observance of which alone, he can hope to enjoy health; or if attacked by disease - by the knowledge they impart, most readily regain health. A work, which the Editor of a critical journal said - was as interesting as it was instructive - and which the Editor of the Medical Times did me the honour to say was on the whole excellent, - its excellencies such that any man might be proud of, and a work which no ordinary man could have written. My views at that time had not, how ever, attained to the fulness of their development - they marched up to the threshold Of the sanctum, but they did not enter the sanctuary, - they traced both health and dis ease to certain conditions of the blood - but they extended no farther. This, then, is the Object I hold in view to rectify - and trust in so doing, have now produced a work, though concise - yet complete in all its parts, which may with truth be designated - a perfect system of medicine uniting all the scattered fragments of the science into one harmonious whole-in accordance with their mutual de pendence and natural affinities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Medicine, Vol. 1 of 2 In fulfilling his duty, the Editor has attempted to divest himself of local feelings; to consider the physicians of the United States as belonging to one family; to be just to all; and to present the results of their experi ence with fairness. How far he has succeeded, may be seen by referring to the notes marked with the letter D., for which he alone is accountable. The desire, however, of printing the new edition in such a form as to place it within the reach of every one, and the constant inquiries for the book, which, to speak technically, has been out of print for many months, obliged the publishers to limit the Editor both as to space and time. This fact will account for the brevity with which many important topics have been treated, and also for some omissions.

Download or read book Conquering Units Or the Mastery of Disease Classic Reprint written by Joe Shelby Riley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conquering Units, or the Mastery of Disease In this treatise the author has sought to give the conclusions of his experiences in the treatment of diseases by the methods her/e illustrated. He has not sought to be absolutely exhaustive, but yet to include so much that the reader will not think that any part of the book is a mere epitome. The various chapters are full enough that the student reading them for the first time, will not think that he is looking in any thing to make his knowledge full on the subject, and the busy practitioner will know that he has at hand something brief enough, and does not have to spend hours and days of research to come to what he might need in his busy life. The author wishes to assure all classes that in what he says here he is sure of the steps he is taking; he has not said anything that can not be demonstrated, and in all the many steps in the. Book where he has given such positive assurance of the results of the treatment recommended, he has first found by experience that all these things are true, and he therefore recommends them without reserve, and he guarantees results without any mental reservation whatever. The practitioner who wishes to adhere to any one particular means of treatment, to the exclusion of others, can not have a friendly mind to this book, but even such a one will find on his particular subject so much probably that will suit him, that he will excuse the remainder of the book, or be lead in a few days to glance those other pages, when we are sure he will thank the day the book fell into his hands. And the mixed therapist, on the other hand, we are sure will find illustrated the doctrine we have always taught, namely, that no system or therapy has all the good things, and may we not add also that there is no system of therapy but that has some good things?
