Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Practitioner, Vol. 1: A Monthly Journal of Therapeutics It is admitted on all hands that the present state of Medical Science is in one respect most unsatisfactory. While our knowledge of the facts of disease, as well as of the facts of healthy physiological life, has made great progress of late years, Therapeutics, or the science of healing, has remained very nearly where it was when Rousseau exclaimed, "Laissez-moi mourir, mais ne me tuez pas." It is true that in the way of mere destruction of old delusions as to the infallibility of certain methods of treatment, much has been done; and it is also true that by purely empirical inquiry we have got possession of a few remedies - such as cod-liver oil, chloroform, iodide of potassium - which are of the greatest value; but it is none the less certain that an exact knowledge of the mode of handling remedies does not exist. Upon this point we shall not be accused of exaggeration, since we can produce the highest authority for our statement. Sir Thomas Watson made the following remarks in opening the First Session of the Clinical Society: "Certainly the greatest gap in the science of Medicine is to be found in its final and supreme stage, the stage of Therapeutics... We know tolerably well what it is we have to deal with, but we do not know so well, nor anything like so well, how to deal with it... We want to know distinctly what is the action of drugs, and of other outward influences, upon the bodily organs and functions; for every one now-a-days, I suppose, acknowledges that it is only by controlling or directing the natural forces of the body that we can reasonably hope to govern or guide its diseased actions.
