Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pedigree of Disease: Being Six Lectures on Temperament, Idiosyncrasy and Diathesis Mr. President and Gentlemen, - I fear I do not much mistake in the belief that the subjects which I have ventured to take for my present course of lectures are by no means high in professional favour. Our forefathers, who knew far less about the details of pathology than we do, attached far more importance to such matters as temperament and diathesis. They were accustomed to prescribe for a man´s temperament; we think only of his disease, and turn aside with weariness from classifications of diathesis in which the physicians of an older day delighted. Although to a large extent this change of sentiment has been the result of advance in knowledge, yet I think it might easily be shown that it has gone too far, and that we now neglect unwisely the study of those differences between man and man of which, for the most part, physiology takes no cognisance, but which may yet prove of much importance in modifying the processes of disease. It is to this study that I now invite your attention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
