Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Plain Elementary Explanation, of the Nature and Cure of Disease, Predicated Upon Facts and Experience: Presenting a View of That Train of Thinking Which Led to the Invention of the Patent, Portable, Warm and Hot Bath
Anou'r ten years ago, I was convinced, that there was too much hypothetical reasoning, incorporated with every theory of fever, of which I had any know ledge. They all, too often failed to furnish suchrex planation, of the grades and'states of disease, as I deemed necessar to guard against mistake. Sensi ble of the high responsibilities of medical men, I en tered upon a course of vigilant observation, in order to detect; any important point, at which our science mightbe deficient. Two whole years were spent, with out gaining any considerable advantage. At length, however, several cases of fever occurred, of an unu sual type, difficult to manage, and attended with symptoms which invited special attention to the sur face of the patient. I formed several conjectural opinions, which afterwards were tested by additional experience, and corrected or established as facts di rected.
