Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Four Lectures on the Thomsonian Practice of Medicine
As it respects the amount of happiness which man, in his present state of existence, is capable of enjoying, or how much his Creator intended he should enjoy, I have nothing to say. It is a truth, however, that anatomy has never taught us that the body of man is designedly shaped for disease: we can discover no disproportion in its organization indicating that it was thrown together by a malevolent hand. On the contrary, all its elemental parts are so organized, as to afford ample proof to us, that it is the intention of nature that an equal and healthful action should animate the whole system.
