Part I: Natural Cure

Handbook of Nature Cure Volume One: Nature Cure vs. Medical Science | by John L. Fielder

Dr Fielder eschews the use of all forms of medication whether they be so-called 'natural' or otherwise, including supplementation. He believes solely in the self-reparative nature of the organism and its ability to heal itself given the necessary care, attention and environment. The only exception being in the case of major trauma where reparative surgery is necessary.

Impaired Health: Its Cause And Cure | Volume 1 | by John H. Tilden

All disease, according to Tilden, is due to toxemia. Herein are cures for all the popular diseases that afflict humanity.

People are beginning to understand that their discomforts come from morbidities, both mental and physical

The Hygienic System: Orthotrophy | Herbert M. Shelton

Unnatural food is the principal cause of human degeneration. It is the oldest vice. If we reflect upon the number of ruinous dietetic abuses, and their immemorial tyranny over the larger part of the human race, we are tempted to eschew all symbolic interpretations of the paradise legend and ascribe the fall of man literally and exclusively to the eating of forbidden food. From century to century this same cause has multiplied the sum of our earthly ills. -- Felix L. Oswald

The Hygienic System: Fasting And Sun Bathing | by Herbert M. Shelton

In presenting this volume on fasting I am well aware of existing prejudices against the procedure. It has long been the practice to feed the sick and to stuff the weak on the theory that "the sick must eat to keep up their strength." It is very unpleasant to many to see long established customs broken, and long cherished prejudices set at naught, even when a great good is to be achieved. In this volume we offer you real wisdom and true science--we offer you the accumulated wisdom of many thousands of years, wisdom that will still be good when the mass of weakening, poisoning and mischief-inflicting methods of regular medicine are forgotten. A brief history of fasting will help to prove the truth of this.

The Hygienic System: Orthopathy | by Herbert M. Shelton

To all who believe in the omniscience of phenomena--that action and reaction are inherent--a part of an object and its environment-- and that the two forces are equal--that compensation is ever and forever in the balance of necessity"; that the law of adjustment is always immanent, and demand and supply are ever-present; that "the cause of any and every need of a living entity is at the same time the cause of the satisfaction of that need"; that every noxious influence "acting" on the human body is extinguished eo ipso; that the noxious agent itself occasions the creation of the protective device which renders it innocuous; that the movements of the living organism, in "disease" as in health, are always teleological, always lawful, and always in the highest interest of Life; that the disposition of the forces of Life may safely be left to the eternal and immutable laws of Life; this book is dedicated

Natural Hygiene: Man's Pristine Way Of Life | by Herbert M. Shelton

We are not Reformers; we are Revolutionists. Medical reform--the world has had quite enough of that. Reforming the drug system by substituting one set of drugs for another is a ridiculous farce. It may, to be sure, substitute a lesser for a greater evil, in many cases, but is like reforming big lies with little falsehoods. It is like reforming swearing with obscene language; or like reforming robbing with cheating. Reforming allopathy with homeopathy and both with physio-medicalism, and all these with eclecticism, is like promoting temperance by substituting cider and lager for rum, brandy, gin, wine, or flesh eating by substituting milk, butter, cheese, for animal food...

A Guide To Health | by Benjamin Colby

If the last century is an example to learn from, it will be many frantic years before we "irregulars" bring about the re-ordination of mainstream medicine back into the vitalist center. In that context, as well as for some of its surprisingly sound observations, this popular little book from 150 years ago can serve as a parable for our present perceptions of the early-stages of medical decline. --Michael Moore

Nature Cure: Philosophy and Practice Based on the Unity of Disease and Cure | by Henry Lindlahr

There are two principal methods of treating disease. One is the combative, the other the preventive. The trend of modern medical research and practice in our great colleges and endowed research institutes is almost entirely along combative lines, while the individual, progressive physician learns to work more and more along preventive lines...

Health and Survival in the 21st Century | by Ross Horne

Viewed from space today, Planet Earth looks little different from how it would have looked a thousand years ago. Oceans and continents clearly visible in technicolor, veiled in swirling wisps of white clouds--it makes a pretty picture. Closer inspection, however, reveals big changes: less forest land, more deserts, more smoke haze, more scars. Damage, man-made. But that's only the visible damage...

Health Without Medicine. A Treatise On The Laws Of The Human System | by L. B. Coles

This work has been written during irregular and interrupted intervals, which have occurred amidst the pressure of other cares, and has passed through but one manuscript to the press; yet the ideas contained in it are the result of many years' experience, observation, and study; not particularly the study of books and others' theories, but the study of natural law, and the philosophy of facts. And although its leading motto is "Health without Medicine," yet it is not expected that no medicines are ever needed; it is sometimes necessary to take medicine to remove disease -- assist nature to throw off her incumbrances, and restore herself to health and strength...

Shampooing Or Benefits Resulting From The Use Of The Indian Medicated Vapour Bath | by Sake Dene Mahomed

Containing a brief but comprehensive view of the effects produced by the use of the warm bath, in comparison with steam or vapour bathing. Also a detailed account of the various cases to which this healing remedy may be applied; its general efficacy in peculiar diseases, and its success in innumerable instances, when all other remedies had been ineffectual. To which is subjoined an alphabetical list of names (many of the very first consequence,) subsccibed in testimony of the important use & general approval of the indian method of shampooing.

Part II: Diet and Nutrition

Maintaining Health | by Rasmus Larssen Alsaker

It is natural to be healthy, but we have wandered so far astray that disease is the rule and good health the exception. Of course, most people are well enough to attend to their work, but nearly all are suffering from some ill, mental or physical, acute or chronic, which deprives them of a part of their power. The average individual is of less value to himself, to his family and to society than he could be. His bad habits, of which he is often not aware, have brought weakness and disease upon him. These conditions prevent him from doing his best mentally and physically.

Health Via Food | by William Howard Hay

This effort to teach the public the things it should know about self-help in illness and health is most respectfully dedicated to one of nature's noblemen, Oliver Cabana, Jr., of Buffalo. Realizing the benefits of a right understanding of the subject of food, he was not content to enjoy selfishly the fruits of this knowledge, but resolved that the general public should have the same opportunity, knowing too well the meagerness of the knowledge possessed by this uninformed public on this most vital question of foods and feeding.

Rational Fasting. Regeneration Diet And Natural Cure For All Diseases | by Arnold Ehret

All the phases of the process of development of the medical science, including those of the earliest periods of civilization, have in their way of understanding the causal nature of diseases that one thing in common that the diseases, owing to external causes, enter into the human body and thus, by force of a necessary or at least unavoidable law, disturb it in its existence, cause it pain and at last destroy it. Even modern medical science, no matter how scientifically enlightened it pretends to be, has not quite turned away from this basic note of demoniac interpretation. In fact, the most modern achievement, bacteriology, rejoices over every newly discovered bacillus as a further addition to the army of beings whose accepted task it is to endanger the life of man.

Food And Health: An Elementary Textbook Of Home Making | by Helen Kinne, Anna M. Cooley

This volume, like its companion, Clothing and Health, is intended for use in the elementary schools in those sections of the country where the home life is of the type described. It is hoped that both volumes will be used by the home people as well as by the school children. This volume treats largely of food problems, including something of raising food and of selling it, in addition to the preparation of food at school and at home. Such topics as the water supply, disposal of waste, and other sanitary matters are woven in with the lessons on nutrition and cookery. There are a number of simple recipes, all of which have been carefully tested, and some of which have been taken from Foods and Household Management, Kinne-Cooley.

Mrs. Rorer's Diet For The Sick | by Sarah Tyson Rorer

Encyclopedia Of Diet. A Treatise on the Food Question | by Eugene Christian

Explaining, in plain language, the chemistry of food and the chemistry of the human body, together with the art of uniting these two branches of science in the process of eating so as to establish normal digestion and assimilation of food and normal elimination of waste, thereby removing the causes of stomach, intestinal, and all other digestive disorders

Diet In Dyspepsia And Other Diseases Of The Stomach And Bowels | by William Tibbles

An elementary treatise on their dietetic and hygienic management

The A. B. - Z. Of Our Own Nutrition | by Horace Fletcher

Do we eat too much? Can we learn to eat right? Without loss of enjoyment? Without care being a nuisance? Without social interference? With assurance of health? With increase of energy? With increase of endurance? To all these vital questions, this book answers only "YES".

Diet In Sickness And In Health | by Mrs. Ernest Hart

In presenting this book to the public I am actuated by the hope that it will prove useful to those who are sick, and to those who have to nurse, feed, and prescribe for the sick, and that it will aid the healthy to preserve health. Believing that lay readers will act with greater intelligence if they understand the rationale of a diet.

The Elements Of The Science Of Nutrition | by Graham Lusk

The earliest scientific observations concerning nutrition were founded upon the commonly noted fact that in spite of the ingestion of large quantities of food, a normal man did not vary greatly in size from year to year. It was understood early in the history of physiology that the weight added by the ingestion of food and drink was lost in the urine, the feces, and the "insensible perspiration." The "insensible perspiration" was partly in evidence when moisture of the warm breath condensed upon a cold plate. By it were meant the usually invisible exhalations from the body, which are now known to be carbon dioxid and water.

Scientific Nutrition Simplified | by Goodwin Brown

The Home Dietitian. Scientific Dietetics Practically Applied | by Belle Jessie Wood Comstock

This little book comes as the result of a call for a brief and scientific review of the subject of foods and body nutrition phrased in the simple terms practical for the busy housewife as well as for the student of dietetics. In it is presented a comprehensive but concise study of foods and their values as related to body needs. Special effort has been put forth to make the tables of caloric value practical as a ready reference in the planning of a balanced ration. The values being given of common measurements of foodstuffs used in cooking greatly simplifies the calculation of the energy value of any recipe that may be used. Sample recipes and menus with appended food values serve to illustrate the principles presented. Special attention has also been given to the question of "protective foods" and vitamines, and to the feeding of children. No plan for diet in disease can be successful unless based upon a knowledge of the diet that will keep the body in health. With this knowledge the problems of feeding the sick are the more easily solved.

Dietetics | by Alexander Bryce

It is open to serious doubt whether the progress made in the study of dietetics has been of such a sweeping character as to warrant its inclusion in the category of the sciences. There are, however, many indications that it has advanced beyond the stage of a simple accumulation of facts and experiences, and is preparing to take its place as a subject amenable to law. This short treatise does not pretend to be more than a fairly careful resume of the principles underlying the important question of nutrition, although I have endeavoured to impart a personal character to the book by taking every opportunity of expressing my own views on all the important points. I am hopeful that it may serve as a guide of more than ephemeral interest and value, not only to those who desire no further acquaintance with the subject, but to those who wish to pursue the fascinating study among the larger text-books.

Practical Dietetics: With Reference To Diet In Disease | by Alida Frances Pattee

As instructor of dietetics at various hospitals I have constantly felt the need of a simple manual and text-book for the use of the nurse in the classroom. None could be found which fulfilled the requirements as to simplicity, brevity, and exactness, with reference to dietetic treatment in disease. This same need has been expressed by mothers and nurses outside of the hospital. In the following pages I have endeavored to meet this need by giving the result of knowledge gained during the past eight years of practical classwork experience in hospitals of different cities.

Practical Dietetics With Special Reference To Diet In Disease | by William Gilman Thompson

The subject of the dietetic treatment of disease has not received the attention in medical literature which it deserves, and it is to be regretted that in the curriculum of medical colleges it is usually either omitted or is disposed of in one or two brief lectures at the end of a course in general therapeutics. Upon examining the standard treatises upon the Theory and Practice of Medicine, as well as monographs upon important diseases, such as those of the circulation, nervous system, and skin, one cannot fail to be impressed with the meagre notice given to the necessity of feeding patients properly, and the subject is usually dismissed with such brief and indefinite phrases as "The value of nutritious diet requires mere mention," "A proper but restricted diet is recommended," and favourite, if not convincing, expressions are, "The patient should be carefully fed," and "General dietetic treatment is of primary importance." With such vague directions the dieting must indeed be very "general".

Nutrition And Dietetics | by Winfield S. Hall

A manual for students of Medicine, for trained nurses, and for dietitians in hospitals and other institutions

Principles Of Human Nutrition A Study In Practical Dietetics | by Whitman H. Jordan

An examination of this volume will at once make it evident that it was not prepared for use with students who have specialized in organic and biological chemistry. The object in view was rather such a presentation of the subject-matter related to human nutrition as would be more or less adapted to popular use, but particularly to instruction of students with moderate scientific acquirements, whether in colleges, secondary schools, short courses, schools of domestic science, or correspondence schools. The reliable knowledge bearing on the nutrition of man is mainly to be 'found in elaborate works on physiology and physiological chemistry, the contents of which are not generally available. Moreover, the highly technical facts are usually not centered around a philosophy of living. The aim here has been to show the adjustment of this knowledge to a rational system of nutrition without insisting upon adherence to technical details that are not feasible in the ordinary administration of the family dietary.

The Newer Knowledge Of Nutrition | by Elmer Verner McCollum

The Nutrition Of Man | by Russell H. Chittenden

In this presentation of the subject the attempt has been made to give a systematic account of our knowledge regarding some of the more important processes of nutrition, with special reference to the needs of the body for food. In doing this, the facts accumulated by painstaking observations and experiments during recent years in our laboratory have been incorporated with data from other sources and brought into harmony, so far as possible, with the modern trend of physiological thought.

Chemistry Of Food And Nutrition | by Henry C. Sherman

The purpose of this book is to present the principles of the chemistry of food and nutrition with special reference to the food requirements of man and the considerations which should underlie our judgment of the nutritive values of foods. Food is here considered chiefly in its relations to nutrition, the more detailed description of individual articles of food and the chemical and legal control of the food industry having been treated in another volume.

Lectures On Dietetics | by Max Einhorn

It gives me satisfaction that the first edition of my Lectures on Dietetics (delivered at the New York Postgraduate Medical School and Hospital) has been exhausted, and a new issue required. The present volume has been doubled in size, so that it is almost a new book. Nine new chapters have been added, namely: V. The Care of Digestion; VI. The Care of Digestion for the Soldier; IX. The Dietetic Management and the Allen Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus; X. The Dietetic Management of Gout; XI. The Diet in Diseases of the Kidneys; XIII. The Diet in Operative Cases; XIV. Subcutaneous and Rectal Alimentations; XVI. Indications for Artificial Nutrition; XVII. Preparation of Food for Invalids (The Diet Kitchen).

Facts And Fancies In Health Foods | by Axel Emil Gibson

I have come to the conclusion that more than half the diseases that embitter the middle and latter half of life are due to avoidable errors in diet, and that more mischief in the form of actual disease, impaired vigor and shortened life accrues to civilized man from erroneous habits of eating, than from the habitual use of alcoholic drinks-considerable as I know that evil to be. Sir Henry Thompson, M. D., F. R. S., Once we have mastered the laws and principles of Diet, we shall find ourselves in the possession of a key that will open to us every dietetic complexity, equipping us with knowledge of how to select a practical course of diet, at once gratifying to taste and health, beauty and strength, satisfaction and efficiency.

Food - What It Is And Does | by Edith Greer

Production of food and food-preparation are among the oldest occupations of human life. They are still most essential to human well-being. Cultivation and cooking of food have come down the ages into complex activities highly specialized and associated with concentrated commercial interests. Together these are coming under the direction of science and the regulation of the community. Occupation with the needs created by living, is a common human pursuit, practiced with or without purpose or plan. Any continuation of life necessitates work. Advancing life requires intelligent work that includes the study of how to live constructively. That this may be, the study of food in school is now generally advised by all prepared to see its bearing upon both wholesome life and efficient work, and also how the understanding cooperation of humanity is needed in supplying and selecting what is of use for growth and health.

Food In Health And Disease | by Nathan S. Davis

It has been my aim to make as practical a book upon dietetics as possible. For that reason the diet best suited in individual diseases has been described fully under the heading of each ailment, although this has necessitated some repetition. The preservation of health is of as much importance as the treatment of the sick, and in order that the food may be adapted to both these purposes the principles underlying its use must be understood. It has therefore seemed best to review the chemical and physiologic data concerning the nutritive and other qualities of various kinds of food; to discuss briefly their relations to the digestive organs and to the organism as a whole; and to trace many of the changes that food must undergo before it can be appropriated to the needs of the human system and prepared for elimination. The first part of this volume treats of these subjects, with such brevity as has seemed compatible with thoroughness. For a similar reason, in the section devoted to the consideration of diet for invalids, attention has been given to the causation of disease, especially as diet, and digestive and nutritional processes are related to it. Symptoms are described whenever it seems best in order to make clear the indications for dietetic and general hygienic treatment.

Vitamines - Essential Food Factors | by Benjamin Harrow

This book is a popular presentation of a subject which concerns every one of us; for vitamines are substances, as yet ill-defined, whose presence in food is essential to our well-being: their absence makes life impossible. And what more pressing problem to-day than that of food!

A System Of Diet And Dietetics | by George Alexander Sutherland

This book is not a reflection of the fancies of the public on the subject of their food, or of the methods of the individual who believes in an infallible system for the dieting of his patients. Until our knowledge of physiology is more perfect than at present the scientific basis of dietetics must be an unstable one. Nevertheless patients must be dieted, and the physician must be guided by the teaching of history, by experimental physiology, and by clinical experience in the proper regulation of their diet. All that has been attempted in this book is to set down the principles and practice of men who have had special experience of the subjects on which they write.

Food And Dietetics | by Alice Peloubet Norton

The problems of the household are more difficult to-day than they have ever been, for each advance in science, each modern invention, has brought in its train new responsibilities and new duties. In every department of the administration of the home more knowledge and skill are required than ever before. With the increase of conveniences has come increased care. Standards of living have changed as well, and greater perfection in all household service is demanded of the home-maker...

Human Vitality And Efficiency Under Prolonged Restricted Diet | by Francis G. Benedict, Walter R. Miles, Paul Roth, H. Monmouth Smith

For many years the Nutrition Laboratory has been studying the possibility of variations in nutritional levels, searching more especially for individuals or classes of individuals with a noticeably low metabolism. To this end evidence has been sought in experiments with a man having but one lung; with individuals claiming to subsist upon considerably less food than an ordinary individual; with vegetarians; with a man fasting for a period of 31 days; and with diabetic patients undergoing the Allen fasting treatment and subsequent low diet. None of these researches, however, gave definite evidence of a low metabolism except those carried out under the somewhat abnormal conditions of a complete fast and severe diabetes.

Modern Theories Of Diet And Their Bearing Upon Practical Dietetics | by Alexander Bryce

This is the era of preventive medicine. It is no longer a speciality in the hands of the medical officer of health - it has spread into the domain of private practice. There is an increasing tendency to depend less upon drugs and more upon hygienic methods, less upon therapy of any kind, and more upon such attention to the laws of health as will prevent the inception of disease. Not that the possibilities of curative medicine are by any means exhausted, but that the infinite potentiality of preventive medicine is now being fully recognised.

Practical Problems Of Diet And Nutrition | by Max Einhorn

The knowledge of nutrition and diet should be the A B C of the physiologist and physician. Without it no rational treatment of any disease is possible. With a full understanding of it many states of invalidism can be greatly ameliorated or completely cured. On several occasions I have written papers dealing with important questions relating to diet. In these, some general known principles in connection with experience of my own of practical value have been discussed in detail. In all of them special stress was laid upon the great importance of sufficient nutrition. Feeling convinced that these papers on diet will be of material aid to the practitioner in the treatment of disease - and appreciating also that such articles, even if once read in the medical journals, are quickly forgotten - I have decided to collect them in the form of a monograph. It is my sincere hope that this booklet will prove of some service to the medical profession in promulgating the paramount importance of a sufficient nutrition

The Relation Of Food To Health And Premature Death | Geo. H. Townsend, Felix J. Levy, Geo. Clinton Crandall

This is an age of wonderful strides in production, but we fear that man, in improving everything else, has, in a great measure lost sight of himself. To the scientist who understands something of the wonderful development of nature, when free from hindrance, there is nothing so utterly astonishing as the weakness and folly of the human race. Believing that ignorance of self is the mother of our devouring evils - disease, vice and crime - the author, with the assistance of his collaborators, has undertaken to blaze out a road to a better and higher life, and however painstaking the effort, it would be too much to expect that our labors would produce results that approached the ideal. It is hoped, however, that this book will be of service in pointing out the devious windings into which appetite and surrounding influences often allure the thoughtless - resulting in their discomfiture and premature death.

Vital Factors Of Foods - Vitamins And Nutrition | Carleton Ellis, Annie Louise Macleod

Investigations made during the past decade have brought forth a discovery of the utmost importance to the well-being of mankind. And the discovery is this: In the foods we eat or should eat there are present very small amounts of certain life-giving and disease-preventing bodies, the consumption of which is essential to growth and good health. Such bodies are called vitamins. Before the day when the import of vitamins came to be recognized we were well satisfied to believe that an adequate supply of protein, fat, carbohydrate, mineral salts and water met our food requirements fully. Food charts were widely disseminated which made it apparent that the heat units of food, the " calories " available, were the essential factors in the control of a diet or ration. Women's clubs and other organisations were addressed on this score so often and emphatically that many a conscientious housewife kept scales in the kitchen to weigh protein, fat and carbohydrates and thereby compute the daily distribution and consumption of calories...

Fletcherism. What It Is, Or How I Became Young At Sixty | by Horace Fletcher

Fletcherism has become a fact. The intention of the present volume is that it shall stand as a compact statement of the Gospel of Fletcherism, whereas his other volumes treat the subject more at length and are devoted to different phases of Mr. Fletcher's philosophy. The author here relates briefly the story of his regeneration, of how he rescued himself from the prospect of an early grave, and brought himself to his present splendid physical and mental condition. He tells of the discovery of his principles, which have helped millions of people to live better, happier, and healthier lives.

Diseases Of The Intestines | by Max Einhorn

A text-book for practitioners and students of medicine

A Manual Of Pathological Anatomy | by Carl Rokitansky, William Edward Swaine

The numerous unsuccessful attempts which have been made to present the following work in an English translation, sufficiently attest the very general estimation in which it is held, as well as the difficulty of the undertaking. The task having at last been executed by the united labors of four gentlemen, each well qualified for the portion intrusted to him, the American publishers take much pleasure in presenting to the profession of the United States, this great store-house of pathological knowledge, in a convenient and accessible form. The world-wide reputation of the author and of his work render eulogy superfluous, while the appearance of the translation under the auspices of the Sydenham Society is a guarantee of its fidelity.

Remarks On Diabetes Especially Wlth Reference To Treatment | by William Richardson

Ten years ago the author of this little work was attacked with Diabetes which presented symptoms of a very formidable character. He entirely treated himself, and, after the failure of every remedy, dietetic and medical, which he found recommended on good authority, was gradually led to the method of treatment he advises in the following pages. He has not only cured himself, but also many others who -have faithfully and patiently carried out the system he advocates. The author repeats, faithfully and patiently, for he has found some difficulty in inducing patients to carry it out in its integrity. Some object to the bath, as involving much domestic inconvenience, and exposing to the danger of colds, etc., while others, overcome by the feeling of lassitude and weakness peculiar to the disease, consider themselves incapable of taking the walking exercise essential to recovery. With such feelings the author can fully Sympathise, as he experienced them to an extreme degree. These objections must not, however, be entertained by him who desires relief. The bath and walking exercise are of peculiar importance in the treatment, so much so, that if either is neglected, but little good will result...

Diseases Of The Stomach | by Max Einhorn

A text-book for practitioners and students

A Manual Of Pathology | by Guthrie McConnell

The purpose of this volume is not that it shall attempt to take the place of the more voluminous text-books on pathology, but that it shall enable the student especially to rapidly acquire the salient points of a subject. To this end the author has sought brevity, but has tried at the same time not to sacrifice clearness in the exposition of the material. If the student finds that this manual fulfils the above conditions the author will have accomplished his purpose.

A Manual Of Pathology | by Joseph Coats, Lewis K. Sutherland

Pathology is the scientific study of disease. The term Disease, which strictly means nothing more than Discomfort, has reference primarily to the subjective sensations of the person affected, but as these feelings have an objective basis, and as it is possible to distinguish various groups of phenomena, each with its own mode of divergence from the healthy conditions, these groups of phenomena have come to be designated as diseases.

Manual Of Psychiatry | by Aaron J. Rosanoff

In the course of the World War I unprecedented opportunities enabled psychiatry to make great strides. The movement for mental hygiene is developing direction, organization, and force. Psychiatrists no longer confine their activities within the walls of institutions for the insane, but are constantly organizing connections with general hospitals, schools, charitable organizations, courts of law, penal institutions, etc.

Part V: Materia Medica / Homeopathy

Materia Medica And Therapeutics Inorganic Substances | by Charles D. F. Phillips

This volume is published in succession to one upon the Vegetable Kingdom, and is arranged upon a similar plan. Several of our best modern treatises upon the same subjects completely separate pharmacology from therapeutics, but it has seemed to me better to recommend their simultaneous study, and I have devoted more space than is now usual to pharmaceutical chemistry; this will be to the advantage, I am sure, of the student, and I trust, of the practitioner. That ample space should be given to discussing the physiological action of medicines is a necessary condition of any modern work, and if the conclusions reached, and the bearings of facts gathered under this head, are still rather vague and undefined, they at least engage and deserve earnest attention, and point to the direction in which further advance may be made.

A Handbook of Useful Drugs | by State Medical Examining and Licensing Boards

It is generally recognized that a considerable proportion of the articles in the Pharmacopeia of the United States and in the National Formulary are worthless or superfluous. Repeated efforts have been made to eliminate at least the more objectionable of these articles. These efforts, however, have failed because they have uniformly encountered the objection that the articles or preparations are used by some physicians and therefore should be recognized and authoritatively defined. The Council on Medical Education and the Confederation of State Examining and Licensing Boards have been trying to restrict instruction and examination in materia medica to the more important drugs. These efforts have suggested the desirability of selecting a fundamental list of drugs with which all medical students and practitioners might be expected to be familiar and to which, therefore, state examining and licensing boards might largely or entirely confine their examinations in materia medica.

A Treatise On Therapeutics, And Pharmacology Or Materia Medica Vol1 | by George B. Wood

The work now offered to the medical public, while it aims to present whatever in Therapeutics and Pharmacology is directly and practically important to the physician, is intended also to be an exponent specially of what the author himself knows and believes on the subjects of which it treats. Its value, therefore, must depend greatly on the opportunities which he has possessed of acquiring knowledge, and forming just views upon these subjects; and upon this point, consequently, they for whom the work is intended have a right to be informed

Without these, he can never succeed in preparing the medicines in a manner to satisfy the homoeopathic practitioner, but with these qualifications he will find in the following pages all that he requires.

The Materia Medica Of The Hindus | by Udoy Chand Dutt

This work is not a literal translation of any particular treatise, but a compilation from standard Sanskrit medical works, arranged somewhat upon the plan of Waring's Manual of Therapeutics, and intended to give a concise exposition of the Materia Medica of the Hindus. Dr. Wise, in his Commentary on the Hindu system of Medicine, has given a pretty full and accurate account of the Anatomy, Surgery and Pathology of the Hindus. With regard to his work I may here repeat what I have stated in the preface to my translation of the Nidana, "That the natives of India cannot be too grateful to him for the trouble he has taken in bringing to light the contents of their ancient medical works, and establishing their right position in the history of Medicine." The scope and plan of his book did not, however, admit of his treating of Sanskrit Materia Medica in the manner of modern works on the subject. I have, therefore, undertaken to publish this work under the impression that it will prove an acceptable contribution to the history of drugs, and will form a basis for further researches on indigenous medicines.

Materia Medica: Pharmacology: Therapeutics: Prescription Writing For Students and Practitioners | by Walter A. Bastedo

This book is an adaptation, for the most part, of lectures delivered at Columbia University. In its preparation I have kept in mind that the physician's reason for the study of remedies is the "treatment of the sick"; and I have laid most stress upon those things that bear on practice, even to the exclusion of some matters of great interest in pharmacology.

A Practical Treatise On Materia Medica And Therapeutics | by Roberts Bartholow

A volume on Materia Medica and Therapeutics should, in these days, present some new features of importance if it would worthily occupy a place alongside of the excellent works now accessible to American readers. An examination of this treatise will disclose the fact that it differs from other works in its scheme of classification, in the subjects discussed, and in the very practical character of the information.

A Manual of Materia Medica and Pharmacology | by David M. R. Culbreth

Comprising all organic and inorganic drugs which are or have been official in the United States Pharmacopoeia, together with important allied species and useful synthetics, especially designed for students of pharmacy and medicine, as well as for druggists, pharmacists, and physicians.

Homoeopathic Domestic Practice | by Egbert Guernsey

This is the most complete work on Domestic Practice ever published. In addition to the portion the Treatment of Diseases; it contains chapters on Anatomy and Physiology, illustrated with elegant plates; also, a chapter on Hygiene, an abridged Materia Medica, and a Dissertation on the True Theory of Cure.

A Text-Book Of Materia Medica And Pharmacy For Medical Students

The classification of drugs according to their botanical, mineral or animal origin is no longer of importance, nor does a pharmacological classification furnish an arrangement useful for reference purposes. A use of one of these types of classification greatly mars some otherwise useful books. These considerations forced the authors to compile this text-book and they hope that they have succeeded in placing before the student a book which will aid him in writing prescriptions.

Introduction To Materia Medica And Pharmacology | by Oliver T.Osborne

Including the elements of medical pharmacy, prescription writing, medical latin, toxicology, and methods of local treatment.

Dental Medicine. A Manual Of Dental Materia Medica And Therapeutics | by Ferdinand J. S. Gorgas

This work has been prepared by the author in deference to many requests from former pupils, and has been compiled from lectures delivered by him in dental institutions during the past twenty-five years, and notes obtained from the standard works on Materia Medica and Therapeutics, and also from personal experience as a dental practitioner and teacher

Text-Book Of Materia Medica For Nurses | by Lavinia L. Dock

The study of materia medica is made, to some extent, a part of the course in all our training schools for nurses; but, so far, no text-book has been prepared along the special lines followed in class recitations. Those special lines are well defined, and are limited. They begin and end with medicines, and do not run into therapeutics. The application of medicine to disease is no part of a nurse's study, and there are therefore some inconveniences met with in using - as text-books - works on materia medica which are written solely for the use of the medical profession...

The Thomsonian System Of Medicine | by R Swinburne Clymer

In compiling this work, I do not wish the reader to think that it is wholly the product of my brain, but rather wish it to be understood that I am acting in the capacity of compiler. I have taken many thoughts from such men as Dr. Thomson, the founder of the system, and from Drs. Comfort, Greer, Lyle and others, and have clothed them in a new dress so as to make one complete and harmonious whole, always standing by such things as I know to be absolute facts, and never allowing anything of a theoretical nature to enter. I have proven all things by my own extensive practice and know that what I give to the reader are facts.EOB keywords => <

Botanic Drugs Their Materia Medica, Pharmacology and Therapeutics | by Thomas S. Blair

Chinese physicians credit so many remedial agents that a work of forty volumes is devoted to their description and an outline of their uses. Dr. George Cheever Shattuck, in his work "A Synopsis of Medical Treatment," gives what might be called the Pharmacopeia of the Massachusetts General Hospital; and it comprises twenty-five pages, including therein mention of but twenty-four agents derived from botanic sources. There are nineteen countries with well-based pharmacopeias, and they recognize five hundred and fifty botanic drugs. There are seventy-eight botanic drugs recognized in sixteen of these national standards, which covers the important list in world-wide commerce. Two hundred and thirty botanic drugs are recognized in but one or two pharmacopeias, twenty-nine of these being found only in the United States Pharmacopeia. Among these latter are: Bloodroot, cottonseed oil, oil of pimento, oil of chenopodium, sabal, stillingia, yerba santa, crampbark, leptandra, calendula, berberis, pereira, sassafras, and sumach. We attach importance to most of these; but so does Mexico to her native drugs, Japan to many that are esteemed there, and India to certain tropical species.

A Treatise On The Materia Medica And Therapeutics Of The Skin | by Henry G. Piffard

The following pages have been the outgrowth of the author's own requirements, as he early became satisfied that a knowledge of the experience of the past should be the foundation on which to begin the study of the present. This conviction led to the collection of the material that forms the first part of this book. Believing that the information thus obtained would prove as useful to others as it has to himself, it is here offered in a form that will permit of ready reference. Long before the collection assumed its present bulk, the author was surprised at the number of drugs, that, on the testimony of observers, appeared to exert an influence on the skin. He did not feel warranted, however, in greatly curtailing the list, except En instances where sufficient experience appeared to throw very grave doubt on the accuracy of the recorded observations.

Essentials Of Materia Medica And Therapeutics | by Alfred Baring Garrod

The Author of the present volume has for some years devoted time and attention to a special study of the therapeutic action of drugs, and had hoped ere this to place the results of his labour before the Profession. In the progress of his task, however, he has discovered that every new fact obtained, suggested a new subject for investigation and research, while the experience gained by clinical observation did not tend to diminish the difficulties which seemed to him to surround so exhaustless an inquiry. He was, moreover, unwilling to content himself with a compilation of the data collected by others, or with that apparent simplification of the subject so common in works on Therapeutics, but which too often results only from a hasty credence in statements consonant with the writer's ideas, and a neglect of others not in harmony with those preconceived conclusions.

Hartmann's Theory Acute Diseases And Their Homoeopathic Treatment

For the last ten years the homoeopathic science and art of healing has been considerably perfected in all its branches; but no work has as yet been published which furnishes a systematic exposition of the treatment which ought to be adopted in the different diseases. This omission is probably owing in part to the inherent difficulty of the undertaking, and partly to Hahnemann, having remarked that no treatment can be based upon the classification of diseases as adopted by the old school. I have never despaired of succeeding in completing a work containing a systematic exposition of the homoeopathic treatment of disease, so much more as the phenomena which constitute the diseases, as described in allopathic books, are contained among the symptoms obtained by the provers of drugs, such as: asthma Millari, cholera morbus, fever and ague, and its varieties. It is the very plan which has been adopted by the author of homoeopathy, of arranging the symptoms of a drug in one list, and of distributing them in groups, that has suggested to me the idea and arrangement of the present work. I trust I have rendered a service to beginners, by describing the general diagnostic characteristics of a disease at the commencemerit of the chapter; the more particular indications for the special remedies have not been omitted.

An Experimental History Of The Materia Medica | by William Lewis

Or of the natural and artificial substances made use of in medicine: containing a compendious view of their natural history, an account of their pharmaceutic properties, and an estimate of their medicinal powers, so far as they can be ascertained by experience, or by rational induction from their sensible qualities.

Materia Medica And Therapeutics: An Introduction to the National Treatment of Disease

This book is chiefly therapeutical in its scope, and is intended to be a rational guide to the student and practitioner of medicine in the treatment of disease. At the same time the Materia Medica has not been sacrificed. On the contrary, it will be found to be set forth in detail by the adoption of a natural and concise arrangement, which presents the subject in such a form that it can be quickly appreciated and easily remembered. The author attaches importance to the plan which he has adopted in the description of the Special Therapeutics, and which consists in systematically tracing the physiological action and uses of the different drugs in their passage through the body, from their first contact with it locally until they are eliminated in the secretion...

A Text-Book Of Materia Medica, Pharmacology And Therapeutics | by George F. Butler

The present work has been undertaken with the immediate object of supplying the student of medicine with a clear, concise, and practical text-book, adapted for permanent reference no less than for the requirements of the class-room. The arrangement - embodying the synthetic classification of drugs based upon therapeutic affinities - the author believes to be at once the most philosophical and rational, as well as that best calculated to engage the interest of those to whom the academic study of the subject is wont to offer no little perplexity.

A Manual Of Practical Therapeutics | by Edward John Waring

Considered chiefly with reference to articles of the materia medica

Practical Materia Medica And Prescription Writing | by Oscar W. Bethea

In the treatment of disease a physician is usually confronted with the following problems which must be considered in the order given: What is the true condition of the patient? What changes should be produced in that condition? What agents will best effect those changes? In what form and by what methods should those agents be employed to obtain the best possible results? How should his orders for those agents be written so as to serve the best interests of the patient and his associates? The first three of these propositions are exhaustively treated in many excellent volumes and are ably taught in the medical schools, but the last two of the propositions are often neglected...

Recent Materia Medica: Notes On Their Origin And Therapeutics | by F. Harwood Lescher

All branches of Medical Science have taken great strides of late years. In Surgery, Spencer Wells and Lister, in Biological Medicine, Pasteur and Koch, have made clear steps in advance; and Therapeutics have become more rational, based on more accurate knowledge and a more extended field. And here an advanced state of information about new Materia Medica must be a decided help to the medical practitioner. Although there are many well-known remedies, superior in general practice to those mentioned in the following pages, yet every medical man has occasionally cases in which he would be glad to "ring the changes," and humour the system of his patient by trying a new medicine...

A Manual of Materia Medica and Pharmacology | by David M. R. Culbreth

When the preliminary draft of the Ninth Decennial Revision of the U. S. Pharmacopoeia appeared two years ago, indicating important and radical changes in the proposed text, the author at once began conforming this work to that standard - rewriting many subjects and bringing all within current scientific thought. That labor, conceded from the first somewhat prodigious, has drawn its "slow length along," sustained by inherent duty and sentiment, until its completion - a form considered greatly in advance of its predecessors. Advantage has also been taken of the Fourth Edition of the National Formulary to the extent of embracing most of its drugs and preparations in abstract, with doses whenever necessary - a logical inclusion believed imperative in order to afford the student a positive familiarity with both of our legal authorities.

Laboratory Manual Of Pharmacology

The fundamental reason for laboratory work in any subject, not entirely observational, is the training it gives in systematic observation. One of the best possible methods for developing adequate apprehension of the essentials of a problem is to require the student to record his observations in an orderly, systematic manner. To serve so valuable an end, this Manual is provided with definite leaders and spaces for recording the relatively more important data. The student thus works with directed purpose to discover important pharmacologic facts for himself.

Materia Medica And Therapeutics - Vegetable Kingdom | by Charles D. F. Phillips

The design of the following pages will be most readily comprehended by the perusal of an extract from the author's original preface: "This work makes no pretension to bring forward a large mass of original research respecting abstract questions, although I believe it will be found to contain a considerable number of practical remarks on the use of drugs which are the genuine result of my own observations. It aims, however, at bringing together in a moderate compass a more extensive series of facts respecting the action of drugs, and especially a more enlarged view of what has been done in other countries, than will be found in the ordinary text-books."

A Text Book Of Materia Medica, Being An Account Of The More Important Crude Drugs Of Vegetable And Animal Origin | by Henry G. Greenish

The present volume, constitutes a second edition of the author's "Introduction to the Study of Materia Medica" which appeared in 1899. This change in title has been rendered desirable by the numerous additions that have been made to the work with the view of broadening its scope. To this end a chapter on the history and commerce of drugs has been added. Each section has been prefaced by a short introduction, including, in the section dealing with 'Animals and Animal Glands and Secretions,' a brief outline of modern zoological classification. For the convenience of advanced students the microscopical characters of, and assay processes for, a number of important drugs have been added. The commercial varieties have been more fully dealt with, and considerably more attention has been paid to the chemistry of a number of the more important constituents. Several drugs not previously dealt with have also been included.

A Text-Book Of Pharmacology, Therapeutics And Materia Medica | by T. Lauder Brunton

The rapid exhaustion of the second edition of this work has prevented me from making as many improvements in the present edition as I could have desired. At the same time I have tried, as far as the short time at my disposal would allow, to amend the imperfections of former editions, as well as to bring the work up to date and render it more useful by the introduction of new matter. The treatment of one of the most important portions of Pharmacology, viz. the Connection between Chemical Constitution and Physiological Action, is still very meagre, because I find that the size of this work would be too much increased were I to treat the subject fully, and I am therefore preparing a small text-book upon it...

The Druggist's General Receipt Book | by Henry Beasley

Comprising a copious veterinary formulary numerous recipes in patent and proprietary medicines druggists' nostrums, etc. Perfumery and cosmetics beverages, dietetic articles, and condiments trade chemicals, scientific processes and an appendix of useful tables

The Chronic Diseases, Their Specific Nature And Their Homeopathic Treatment | by Samuel Hahnemann

This volume, which contains the theoretical part of Hahnemann's Chronic Diseases, has been issued at the urgent request of several Professors in Homoeopathic Medical Colleges, who wish to use it as a college text book. It is to be hoped, too, that the profession at large will appreciate this volume, which in the opinion of many ranks in importance with the Organon.

A Compend Of The Principles Of Homoeopathy | by William Boericke

Contains philosophical conceptions and practical directions for the establishment of a true science of therapeutics, and all genuine progress towards this goal is in the direction pointed out in that work. To fix its principles clearly in the mind of the student, to faithfully apply them in practice, is the special duty and high privilege of Homoeopathy.

The Twelve Tissue Remedies of Schüssler | by William Boericke, Willis A. Dewey

Comprising the theory, therapeutic application, materia medica, and a complete repertory of these remedies. Homoeopathically and Bio-Chemically considered.

Medical Therapeutics For Daily Reference | by Rudolph Frederick Rabe

his volume has been prepared, with the official approval of the American Institute of Homeopathy, in response to a demand for authoritative and concise information in regard to the principles and practice of Homeopathy, on the part of physicians who have not had the opportunity of acquiring this knowledge during their medical course. Every progressive physician to-day is endeavoring to add to his therapeutic armamentarium and is willing to accept and utilize any therapeutic measure which appeals to his judgment and which has stood the test of clinical experience. The wave of therapeutic iconoclasm, which reached its high-water mark a decade ago, is now rapidly receding. Its work has been accomplished and scientific medicine has been cleansed of the fallacies of polypharmacy and of the dangers of thoughtless and massive drugging...

Part VI: Aromatherapy

The Volatile Oils Vol1 | E. Gildemeister

It is only within the last few decades that the former empiric manufacture of volatile oils has been placed on a scientific basis, which has enabled it to develop into an independent branch of chemical industry. During the period of transition in which this branch still finds itself, those factories which have done pioneer work, both scientifically and technically, as well as those which use the oils in various manufactures, are often compelled to suffer from the competition of inferior and adulterated products. As a matter of fact, the proper understanding of the estimation and appreciation of quality and purity of the much used volatile oils is not as common as is desirable for industry, commerce and the trades. The principal cause for this condition is the fact that the recent chemical investigations and their application to the arts have not yet been generally offered in suitable form...

The Volatile Oils Vol2 | E. Gildemeister

416 essential oils are covered in detail in this volume. The essential oils are enumerated in the order in which the respective plants appear classified by A. Engler in his "Syllabus der Pflanzenfamilien". This second volume presents the oils up to and including those of the Zygophyllacese and of part of the Rutacese.

A Research On The Eucalypts Especially In Regard To Their Essential Oils | by Richard T. Baker, Henry G. Smith

The continual applications received by us, during the last few years, for further data concerning the physical and chemical properties and commercial possibilities of the oil products of the Eucalypts-than those given in the first edition, which has now been out of print for some time-were the chief incentives which moved us to place our latest researches on these wonderful trees into the present book form.

Part VII: Reference Materials

The London Medical Dictionary Vol1 | by Bartholomew Parr

This book was written to help educate the general public about the virtues of natural medicine and to encourage the next generation of natural healers.

Part VIII: Massage

Lessons on Massage | by Margaret D. Palmer

At the earnest and often-repeated request of my pupils, I publish my lessons on massage, in the hope that they and others will find them as useful as they anticipate. The instructions given are founded upon the results of many years' experience, both in teaching and in practical work.

Massage And The Original Swedish Movements | by Kurre W. Ostrom

Lectures before the Training Schools for Nurses connected with the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, German Hospital, Woman's Hospital, Philadelphia Lying-in Charity Hospital, the Philadelphia Polyclinic and College for Graduates in Medicine, and the Kensington Hospital for Women, of Philadelphia.

On The Use Of Massage And Early Movements In Recent Fractures And Other Common Surgical Injuries. Sprains And Their Consequences, Rigidity Of The Spine, And The Management Of Stiff Joints.

Handbook Of Anatomy For Students Of Massage | by Margaret E. Bjorkegren

This book has been compiled with the object of meeting a want, to which my attention was repeatedly called by my students when preparing them for the examinations of the Incorporated Society of Trained Masseuses. No book dealing with Anatomy, especially arranged for students of massage, has yet been written, and I have endeavoured to make good this deficiency to the best of my ability. It is hoped that this small volume will be found to embody all the ground covered by the syllabus of this Society for its examinations in Massage and Swedish Remedial Exercises.

Massage And Medical Gymnastics | by Emil A. G. Kleen

Massage and Physical Exercises have formed a branch of medical and surgical treatment from time immemorial and in all countries, a fact demonstrated by Dr. Kleen in his historical introduction ; and Dr. Kleen's work is a classic upon the subject which deserves the widest possible circulation throughout the world. Its translation into English may therefore be welcomed as a very real step in the diffusion of scientific knowledge upon these methods of treatment. Naturally the author's views will receive criticism when they come to be read by English-speaking people. Swedish methods of massage and gymnastics are not universally accepted as gospel. Sound and considered criticism is healthy, and Dr. Kleen would himself be the last to raise objection to it. But the great scientific work that has been done by the Swedish schools during the last hundred years has undoubtedly done more to place this branch of treatment upon an acknowledged footing than has that of any other group of workers.

Massage, Its Principles And Practice | by James B. Mennell

The value of massage as an aid to the orthopaedic treatment of our wounded is now too well established to require defence. It cannot, however, be denied that many of the ideas prevalent as to the methods of its use are often very vague, and surgeons who have made a close enough study of the subject to give definite directions to the masseuse are still fewer than they should be. In these pages we have an exposition of his own observations and practice by a physician, an acknowledged master, whose enthusiasm for his subject is tempered by a wide clinical experience of success and of failure

Part IX: Children

Children: Their Health And Happiness | by J. H. Tilden

This book is dedicated to those mothers who wish to sidestep the conventional errors which lead to so much unnecessary sickness in children.

The Hygienic Care of Children | by Herbert M. Shelton

An intelligent man may be wrong sometimes, but a fool is always right. He is never wrong. The medical profession is never wrong. It never changes, except superficially.This is the reason it is necessary for me to write this book. There are many books on the care and feeding of infants, but most of them consist largely of repetitions of ancient mistakes. There is little in them that can be recommended to the parent who desires to care for his or her child in the best manner possible. They are full of statements which have been known to be false for many years. But the medical profession is never wrong.

The Young Mother. Management of Children in Regard to Health | by William A. Alcott

It is by no means the object of this little work to set people to watching their stomachs from meal to meal, in regard to the effects of food, drink, etc. for nothing in the world is better calculated to make dyspeptics than this. It is true, indeed, that some things may be obviously and greatly injurious, taken only once; and when they are so, they should be avoided. But in general, it is the effect of a habitual use of certain things for a long time together--and the longer the experiment the better—which we are to observe.

Hygiene Of The Nursery | by Louis Starr

Including the general regimen and feeding of infants and children, and the domestic management of the ordinary emergencies of early life

Part X: Hypnosis

Hypnotism; Or Suggestion And Psychotherapy | by August Forel, Dr. Phil. Et Jur.

A study of the psychological, psycho-physiological and therapeutic aspects of hypnotism

Treatment By Hypnotism And Suggestion Or Psycho-Therapeutics | by Charles Lloyd Tuckey

The Nancy treatment has during the last few years attracted so much interest among men of science and members of the medical profession on the Continent, that it seems strange the knowledge of it in this country is almost entirely theoretical. The system of psycho-therapeutics has so far attained its fullest development in Holland, where in every large town it is followed by at least one well-qualified practitioner; while in Germany, Russia, Sweden, and, indeed, every European country, its position is secured by the support of leading physicians, and by the success attending their practice...

Hypnotism | by Dr. Albert Moll

I have endeavoured to bring it into line with our present-day knowledge, and have laid special stress on the universal importance which has become attached to hypnotism and suggestion during the last ten years. I have given the narrowest limits possible to the concept suggestion, with the view of better differentiating suggestion from other psychic process than was formerly done. Relatively speaking, the fewest alterations have been made in the chapters on symptomatology and post-hypnotic suggestion. Very little has been added to our knowledge of these questions during the last few years, and it would appear that this branch of hypnotic research is fairly exhausted, though, of course, it may one day happen that it will have to go through a searching revision which will prove instructive.

Hypnotism And Hypnotic Suggestion | by E. Virgil Neal, Charles S. Clark

A scientific treatise on the uses and possibilities of hypnotism, suggestion and allied phenomena.

Practical Lessons In Hypnotism | by Wm. Wesley Cook

Containing complete instructions in the development and practice of hypnotic power, including much valuable information in regard to mental healing, mind reading, and other kindred subjects

Handbook Of Suggestive Therapeutics, Applied Hypnotism, Psychic Science | by Henry S. Munro

A manual of practical psychotherapy, designed especially for the general practitioner of medicine and surgery

Hypnotism, Mesmerism And The New Witchcraft | by Ernest Hart

The papers here brought together have recently appeared in the 'Nineteenth Century' and the 'British Medical Journal, and are reprinted by permission. They are published to meet the wishes of some who have suggested to me it might prove useful and acceptable that they should be collected into a small volume, and thus become more available for current reference than they would otherwise have been. They were so favourably received at the time of publication that I may venture to hope it is not presumptuous to give them this more permanent shape. Nothing has been written in the way of criticism which seemed to me at all substantial, or to call for any modification of the text...

Hypnotism: How It Is Done; Its Uses And Dangers | by James R. Cocke

It is a saying as old as the hills that "a little learning is a dangerous thing." While as a physician I am ready to admit the truth of this, I think that there is infinitely moredanger to the common weal from the populace being densely ignorant of the phenomena which are daily occurring in their midst. Hypnotism is at the present time exciting widespread interest, from scientific men, professional men, and laymen as well...

Part XI: Other Subjects

Kung Fu, or Taoist Medical Gymnastics | by John Dudgeon

The Beverages of the Chinese; Kung-fu or Taoist Medical Gymnastics; the Population of China; A Modern Chinese Anatomist and A Chapter in Chinese Surgery.

A Manual Of Psychology | by G. F. Stout

The present work contains an exposition of Psychology from a genetic point of view. A glance at the table of contents will show that the order followed is that of the successive stages of mental development. The earlier stages have been copiously illustrated by reference to the mental life of animals. The phases through which the ideal construction of Self and the world has passed are illustrated by reference to the mental condition of the lower races of mankind.

The Sushruta Samhita - An English Translation Based on Original Texts

No special apology is necessary for the publication of an English translation of the Sushruta Samhita. The vast medical literature of ancient India practically remains as yet unexplored, and any undertaking, which has the object of making that terra incognita, known to the scientific world, is bound to be welcomed by the public. Spasmodic attempts have been made by several scholars and erudite bodies to bring out an English translation of the Sushruta Samhita, as the most representative work of the Ayurveda, but we regret to say that such efforts have hitherto proved abortive. In spite of incomplete information on the subject many drugs of the Ayurvedic Materia Medica have been adopted by different foreign systems of medicine, and this has afforded us a fresh impetus to issue an English translation of the book, which not only deals with the essentials of Indian Therapeutics but embraces the whole range of the science of Ayurveda, as it was understood and practised by the Vedic sages.

The Treatment Of Infected Wounds | by A. Carrel And G. Dehelly

It is well known that nearly all the wounds resulting from explosions of shells, torpedoes, and bombs are septic; and that the methods employed up to the present in the treatment of these wounds are generally impotent to check the progress of the infection. To be convinced of this, one has only to be present at the arrival at a base hospital of a convoy of wounded, who have been operated on in the dressing-stations or the hospitals near the front. Then one grasps the danger of those paradoxes upheld by surgeons who still deny the universality of infection...

Applied Anatomy: The Construction Of The Human Body | by Gwilym G. Davis

The construction of the human body considered in relation to its functions; diseases and injuries

A Manual Of Physiology | by Gerald F. Yeo

The present volume has been written at the desire on the part of the Publishers that a new elementary treatise on Physiology should be added to the series of admirable students' manuals which they had previously issued. In carrying this desire into execution, I have endeavored to avoid theories which have not borne the test of time, and such details of methods as are unnecessary for junior students. I do not give any history of how our knowledge has grown to its present standpoint; nor do I mention the names of the authorities upon whose writings my statements depend. I have also omitted the mention of exceptional points, because I find that exceptions are more easily remembered than the main facts from which they differ; and, since we must often be content with the retention of the one or the other, I have tried to insure that it shall be the more important.

Civics and Health | by William H. Allen

No one can read this volume, or even its chapter-headings, without surprise and rejoicing: surprise, that the physical basis of effective citizenship has hitherto been so utterly neglected in America; rejoicing, that so much in the way of the prevention of incapacity and unhappiness can be so easily done, and is actually beginning to be done. The gratitude of every lover of his country and his kind is due to the author for his interesting and vivid presentation of the outlines of a subject fundamental to the health, the happiness, and the well-being of the people, and hence of the first importance to every American community, every American citizen.

Medical Essays | by Oliver Wendell Holmes

This paper was written in a great heat and with passionate indignation. If I touched it at all I might trim its rhetorical exuberance, but I prefer to leave it all its original strength of expression. I could not, if I had tried, have disguised the feelings with which I regarded the attempt to put out of sight the frightful facts which I brought forward and the necessary conclusions to which they led.
