Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Unity of Disease: Analytically and Synthetically Proved; With Facts and Cases Subversive of the Received Practice of Physic
Now what are we to infer from all this? Not as some might be tempted to believe, that the profession Is dishonest or deceptive throughout, but that its members, to this very hour, know nothing of the true principles upon which reme dies act; and as little of the true nature of the diseases of which they treat. To my mind, it verifies the vulgar adage that - What is one man's meat, is another. Man's-poison. For al most all the remedies which these authors have either lauded or decried, may, as we shall here after shew, cure, cause, aggravate, or ameliorate any given case of disease, according to the dose and constitution of the respective patients for whom they may be prescribed.
