Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ... Theories have given rise to the numberless modes and systems of practice in medicine. All of these are wrong, and should be discarded as worse than useless, even the best of them. There is error, gross error, in every mode of practice, because it necessarily excludes valuable facts. The only proper mode of practice, if it can be termed a mode, is the eclectic, which simply takes facts from whatever quarter they may come, whether they belong to any system or not, and uses them in the cure of disease. I wish to be distinctly understood on this point. I have not said that there is no truth in any of the modes, or systems, which have prevailed. There is some truth in most of them, not to say all. And the true eclectic will sift out from them whatever of truth he may find, and use it, whether they have had a professional or a non-professional origin. There is some truth in Hydropathy; some, a little, in Thompsonianism; some in Calomelism, as it may be termed, for calomel is used by some in somewhat the same exclusive way as water is by the Hydropath, and lobelia and red pepper and steam, are by the Thompsonian. Of Homoeopathy, popular as it is among the refined, the learned and the wealthy, I must make an exception. There is absolutely no truth in this system. In this mode of practice, if followed out in good faith, there is nothing done, though there is a show of doing much. Only when Homoeopathists forsake their principles, as all of them, even to Hahnemann, sometimes do, and give Allopathic doses, that they have anything relevant in their records of the effects of remedies. But even then, it is impossible to pick out what is relevant from the profusion of shapeless rubbish which is gathered by their indiscriminate mode of observation....

Download or read book Disrupted Dialogue written by Robert M. Veatch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical ethics changed dramatically in the past 30 years because physicians and humanists actively engaged each other in discussions that sometimes led to confrontation and controversy, but usually have improved the quality of medical decision-making. Before then, medical ethics had been isolated for almost two centuries from the larger philosophical, social, and religious controversies of the time. Only in the past three decades has the dialogue resumed as physicians turned to humanists for help just when humanists wanted their work to be relevant to real-life social problems. The book tells the critical story of how the breakdown in communication between physicians and humanists occurred and how it was repaired when new developments in medicine together with a social revolution forced the leaders of these two fields to resume their dialogue.
