Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory Lecture Before the Medical Class of the Kentucky School of Medicine, on the Truth of Medicine as Evinced by Its Origin, Progress and Present Condition But even through the period referred to medicine did not retrograde, nor yet stand still. The Asclepiadoc were far above the generality of their time, in education and intelligence, and could not avoid obtaining some medical information and acumen from the experience afforded by the vast number of patients who consulted them; and we find, therefore, that when public opinion forced a change in the system of secresy, which was rigidly oh served in regard to the mysteries pertaining to their religious worship and practice of physio, that the science had'made considerable progress. In the then existing state of the world and society, theconfinement of the practice of medicine to the temples was most propitious forthe science, and greater progress was made there, and less of absurdity and error accumu lated upon the truth, than if it had been open and common to the public.

Download or read book Doctoring the South written by Steven M. Stowe and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a new perspective on medical progress in the nineteenth century, Steven M. Stowe provides an in-depth study of the midcentury culture of everyday medicine in the South. Reading deeply in the personal letters, daybooks, diaries, bedside notes, and published writings of doctors, Stowe illuminates an entire world of sickness and remedy, suffering and hope, and the deep ties between medicine and regional culture. In a distinct American region where climate, race and slavery, and assumptions about "southernness" profoundly shaped illness and healing in the lives of ordinary people, Stowe argues that southern doctors inhabited a world of skills, medicines, and ideas about sickness that allowed them to play moral, as well as practical, roles in their communities. Looking closely at medical education, bedside encounters, and medicine's larger social aims, he describes a "country orthodoxy" of local, social medical practice that highly valued the "art" of medicine. While not modern in the sense of laboratory science a century later, this country orthodoxy was in its own way modern, Stowe argues, providing a style of caregiving deeply rooted in individual experience, moral values, and a consciousness of place and time.

This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory Lecture Addressed to the Class of the Kentucky School of Medicine: Session 1853-54 If as Cicero declares, true glory is the renown which arises from many and important services to one's friends or country, or the whole human race, no one has more or better opportuni ties than the physician, of encircling his brow with its bright est halo. In the exercise of an art which must from its very nature, bring you into relations of the closest intimacy with all descriptions of persons, you cannot fail to form friend ships, based upon congeniality of tastes and accordance of men tal and moral constitution, such friendships as standeth Srif fly in storms, and which, if properly cherished, will afford abundant opportunities of securing whatever of person al gratification or worldly renown may spring frdm many and important services to friends. The vulgar notion that daily familiarity with sickness, sorrow and death, tends to harden the feelings of physicians, and divest them of the more delicate sensibilities, and sympathies of our common human ty is utterly fallacious. It is true. They learn to suppress their feelings and to sustain, in the language of the Poet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book American Indian Medicine written by Virgil J. Vogel and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book, says the author, is to show the effect of Indian medicinal practices on white civilization. Actually it achieves far more. Itdiscusses Indian theories of disease and methods of combating disease and even goes into the question of which diseases were indigenous and which were brought to the Indian by the white man. It also lists Indian drugs that have won acceptance in the Pharmacopeia of the United States and the National Formulary. The influence of American Indian healing arts on the medicine and healing and pharmacology of the white man was considerable. For example, such drugs as insulin and penicillin were anticipated in rudimentary form by the aborigines. Coca leaves were used as narcotics by Peruvian Indians hundreds of years before Carl Koller first used cocaine as a local anesthetic in 1884. All together, about 170 medicines, mostly botanical, were contributed to the official compendia by Indians north of the Rio Grande, about 50 more coming from natives of the Latin-American and Caribbean regions. Impressions and attitudes of early explorers, settlers, physicians, botanists, and others regarding Indian curative practices are reported by geographical regions, with British, French, and Spanish colonies and the young United States separately treated. Indian theories of disease—sorcery, taboo violation, spirit intrusion, soul loss, unfulfilled dreams and desires, and so on -and shamanistic practices used to combat them are described. Methods of treating all kinds of injuries-from fractures to snakebite-and even surgery are included. The influence of Indian healing lore upon folk or domestic medicine, as well as on the "Indian doctors" and patent medicines, are discussed. For the convenience of the reader, an index of botanical names is provided, together with a wide variety of illustrations. The disproportionate attention that has been given to the superstitious and unscientific features of aboriginal medicine has tended to obscure its real contributions to American civilization.
