Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on the Medical Treatment of Disease
The difficulties of writing upon treatment are very great. As Withering said in 1785: It is much easier to write upon a disease than upon a remedy. The former is in the hands of Nature, and a faithful observer with an eye of tolerable judg ment cannot fail to delineate the likeness; the latter will ever be subject to the whims, the inaccuracies and the blunders of mankind. No one knows the shortcomings of this book as well as does the writer, yet it is with the hope that it may be of some use to the student and the young practitioner that it is now launched upon the medical public.
