Book Therapeutics  Materia Medica and the Practice of Medicine

Download or read book Therapeutics Materia Medica and the Practice of Medicine written by Shobal Vail Clevenger and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Therapeutics, Materia Medica and the Practice of Medicine: Arranged Alphabetically by Topics for Convenient Reference Usefulness and reliability were kept constantly in view in the construction of this book; pedanticisms, serving merely to fill space in so many text books, robbing the time of the student, are especially omitted; nor is there adherence to any cumbrous system for consistency sake. The impossibility of making a work of this kind conjoin all the compendious qualities of the heavier tomes is compensated by its free dom from the dignified drivel of the average Therapeutics. Any appearance of enthusiastic endorsement of proprietary articles in a few instances can be compared with the unhesitating denunciation of many such compounds emanating from the same manufacturers. They never subsidize an author to praise one of their medicines and condemn the rest. The publications of such reputable houses as those of Squibb and Merck have been freely used with their permission, to advantage but this work, while embodying information from many sources, to be found in no other single volume, is intensely original, particularly with topics upon which the author has been forced to be familiar through antagonizing some of the worst and most powerful elements in large cities. Under Prescribing, Therapeutics, etc., other dissertations occur that are usually included in a preface or introduction.

Book Lectures on Materia Medica  Therapeutics and Special Pathology  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Lectures on Materia Medica Therapeutics and Special Pathology Classic Reprint written by A. H. Peck and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Materia Medica, Therapeutics and Special Pathology What I have to say to you this morning is by way of an introduction to the winter's work. In regard to text-books: I shall be pleased if each memi ber of the class will purchase Potter's Materia Medica and Therapeutics; not the Compend, but the complete work - the larger book. I select this book for the reason that it contains everything that is necessary for you to know in regard to drugs. It gives their origin, their physical properties and characteristics, their therapeutic and physiological action, dosage and antidotal treatment, all in a very compact form, much more so than any other book I might recommend. There are other books for extended reading and for special reference which are valuable, and you can provide yourselves with as many of them as you feel able. I assure you that you cannot get too many if you will only use them, for we cannot become too familiar with our subject. I regard our field as one of the most important in the entire college curriculum, in which statement I believe you will agree with me. Wood's book on Therapeutics is recommended for ex tended reading; also Hare's work on the subject is an excel lent one. The latter is not so exhaustive as Wood's. In regard to Potter's Compend, it is a most excellent little book. Those of you who do not possess it may have access to it in the library (of which I shall speak a littlefurther on), but I feel like insisting on your providing your selves with Potter's larger book.

Book Essentials of Hom  opathic Therapeutics

Download or read book Essentials of Hom opathic Therapeutics written by Willis A. Dewey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of Homœopathic Therapeutics: Being a Quiz Compend of the Application of Homœopathic Remedies to Diseased States; A Companion to the Essentials of Homœopathic Materia Medica The call for a second edition of this little work within so short a time after the appearance of the first, leads the author to congratulate himself that it actually found the place in homœopathic literature for which it was designed, namely, a companion to the "Essentials of Homœopathic Materia Medica." While its title is Therapeutics, it should be looked on by the student simply as Materia Medica in another form. If this be done there is little danger of the student falling into the practice of the ancient school of associating remedies with diseases, or diagnosis with treatment. The universal favorable criticism bestowed upon the first edition encourages the author to hope that the present one in its thoroughly revised shape may receive the same approval. Not only has the work been thoroughly revised and numerous errors, which appeared in the first edition corrected, but also the size has been necessarily increased by the addition of many characteristic indications.

This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Therapeutic Key, or Practical Guide for the Homoeopathic Treatment of Diseases in General The symptoms detailed throughout the work are marked according to their estimated value. The asterisks rep resent characteristic symptoms, or key-notes. Those in italics represent similar symptoms, but of a less prominent character; while those left without a sign, correspond to a third degree of distinction. The remedies placed in brackets at the end of the given symptoms, signify that they are indicated by similar symptoms. It will be apparent from an examination of the work, that a good deal of labor has been bestowed upon it, in order to bring it to its present state. But the favor with which it has been received by the Profession, leads me to hope that in this, my last attempt, the labor has not been spent in vain.

Download or read book Homoeopathic Therapeutics in Ophthalmology Classic Reprint written by John L. Moffat and published by Forgotten Books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homoeopathic Therapeutics in Ophthalmology The systematic arrangement of the materia medica will facilitate ready reference. Drug characteristics are given because with their aid a much more successful prescription may be made. This book is small, the remedies comparatively few, because only reliable indications have been given. Quality has been preferred to quantity. To most of the remedies in our materia medica have there been attributed one or more eye symptoms but, as yet, without confirmation. To include these would but serve to confuse the reader and impair his confidence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Diseases of the Skin written by Frederick Myers Dearborn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diseases of the Skin: Including the Exanthemata, for the Use of General Practitioners and Advanced Students For the busy man, whether practitioner or student, brevity is essen tial in the make-up of any text-book. So it has been my aim in the succeeding pages to present clearly and concisely the subject of derma tology. To this end, an attempt has been made to arrange the general considerations and the special diseases in logical sequence, to properly emphasize the relative importance of symptomatology, etiology, path ology, diagnosis and treatment, to present lucid and descriptive defini tions, to relegate obsolete terms to their proper spheres, and to omit the many unnecessary and confusing foot-notes so characteristic of many scientific books. It does not seem necessary or fitting to give a dermato logic bibliography but, if he so desires, the student can readily, at his leisure, investigate the varied Opinions of many authorities, by referring to any or all of the bulky volumes preserved in our many libraries. The subject of treatment is a broad one and is given extensive con sideration not only as regards general principles in the introductory por tion of the book but also from a specific standpoint under the description of the various disease entities. Inasmuch as symptomatic prescribing (the use of drugs, indicated on a homeopathic basis) is only one of a number of therapeutic measures at the physician's command, the amount of space given to it in this volume is based on its relative importance, the limitations of a work devoted to the consideration of dermatology from all view-points, and lastly upon the supposition that a majority of my readers possess and use the standard works on Materia Medica. Other methods of treatment are impartially viewed and no sensible physician can afford to neglect any item of therapy that may conduce to his patient' 8 cure or relief. Internal medication by physiological and empiric methods, with certain exceptions, occ11pies a minor place in these days of scientific medicine while hygiene, diet, specific medication, prophylaxis and physical therapy have made wonderful advances in the past decade. Further studies along certain of these lines are certain, I believe, to contribute in time to a better understanding of the action of internal remedies, prescribed on the homeopathic or a similar basis. It will be noticed that treatment, in all its varied aspects, is given promi nence in American treatises because here in the United States, the patient is a more assertive individual than he is abroad and makes it known that he is more anxious to be cured than he is to know the nature and course of his ailment. Thus it is, whether falsely or truly, American physicians are better known as therapeutists than as clinicians.

In conjunction with the regular alphabetical continua tion of the list from one issue to another of the circular, all the remedial agents that were introduced from time to time during its publication were described in supplemental lists, thus constantly bringing the matter up to date. These lists were completed in the issue for November, 1905. They have since been revised and rearranged, so that all their items appear in continuous alphabetical order, and are now presented in the following pages. It is confidently believed that The Modern Materia Medica is the most complete and reliable book of its kind now obtainable and that it.will prove a valuable addition to the reference library of the pharmacist.
