On Healthy and Diseased Structure and the True Principles of Treatment for the Cure of Disease, Especially Consumption and Scrofula: Founded on Microscopical Analysis (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from On Healthy and Diseased Structure and the True Principles of Treatment for the Cure of Disease, Especially Consumption and Scrofula: Founded on Microscopical Analysis

The author of the following work, in laying before his professional brethren. The results of twenty years' investigation upon the subject of Consumption, had one of two courses to pursue - either to enter at large upon what others had done before him - or confine himself to facts arising from his own re searches.

By pursuing the former course, he might have claimed credit for some discoveries in physiology and pathology; but choosing the latter - claiming only What the justice of his contemporaries may award - he has felt himself at liberty to study his premises in the book of Nature only, and to form his conclusions inde pendently. The subject treated of, is one so various and complicated, that truths may be elicited in manifold ways; and deductions derived from micro scopical analysis, need in no way interfere with results regarded in a chemical point of View.
