Book excerpt: Excerpt from Clinical Lectures on the Principles and Practice of Medicine IN consequence of the rapid exhaustion of a second edition of this work, I have been called upon to prepare a new one much sooner than I could have anticipated. The whole of it, not withstanding, has been most carefully revised, and the volume extended by the addition of fifty pages, with twenty-one new cases and thirty-four new wood-cuts. I have endeavoured throughout, by reference to indisputable facts, to demonstrate the correctness_ of the principles which have guided my prac tice, and have, i therefore, authenticated every case with the name of its reporter in the hospital books. I have availed myself of numerous illustrations engraved on wood, having long been persuaded that mere description 'of morbid appearances, and especially of those that are made visible by means of the microscope, communicates only feeble or imper feet ideas to others. Of these illustrations, such as are borrowed have the names of their authors appended; such as have no name attached are original.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Theory and Practice of Physic IN yielding to the wish of the publishers that he would become annotator to the Lectures of Doctor Stokes, and make additions on subjects not included in the course of the distinguished lecturer in the Park Street Medical School, the editor was not unmindful of the responsibility of his task, nor of the comparisons to which his labours would be subjected by critical readers. Mere self-regard would have made him prefer to be the author of a separate work on the Practice of Medicine; in which scope would have been allowed him for various topics necessarily omitted on the present occasion. But he was consoled by the reflexion, that, next to the pleasure of original promulgation of sound precepts Of doctrine and practice by oneself, is that of bearing corroborative testimony to emanations ofthis nature from another person.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lecture Introductory to the Course of Theory and Practice of Medicine in the Medical Department of Pennsylvania College, Philadelphia: For the Session 1844-45 Gentlemen! You have come prepared to receive medical instruction. - Will you receive it from us i - Shall we have the honour and pleasure of becoming your teachers - Another question of more importance - What inducements can we, ought we, to offer you? There are other teachers - those not only in the other schools of Philadelphia, and of Baltimore, and New York; but those also in the schools of the farther north and south; and of the far West, - all with knowledge and capabilities - impelled by a zeal which shall secure pros perity - secure the advancement of American medicine - secure American co operation with the efforts of Europe to act better and better, more and more, the part of the good Samaritan, towards a diseased and suffering world. We are not unmindful of these considerations, nor of our relative responsibilities, and therefore we ask ourselves with the deepest solicitude, What inducements can the Faculty of the Medical Department of Pennsylvania College offer you? -what is the ground of confidence in ourselves -can we promise you no disappointment - none to your medical preceptor - your parent or guardian and above all, no disappointment to our suffering fellow-creatures. If, then, gentlemen, it shall be, that we are to become associated as pupils and teachers - to become, to each other, the givers and recipients of medical knowledge, until you receive the seal and parchments of this Institution, and become physicians, - physicians who will take honourable and useful posts in various sections of our country; or become the soldier's or the sailor's comfort; or a pioneer in heathen lands to battle with unchecked and aggravated disease.

The manuscripts would perhaps contain a memorandum here and there that would remind one who had often heard him, of the many striking and learned illustrations he was in the habit of ad ducing - but could not enable the editor entirely to recover them, or to give them with any thing like tolerable accuracy. And then, the manner could not be represented. The Vivid flashes of his keen eye; his fine, manly, commanding voice; his animation of delivery, rising, as it often did, to enthusiasm; and his graceful, powerful gesticulation - all these are gone. N 0 reader can imagine them. He must have heard, and have seen the man, to understand what he was in his lecture room. Certainly, if he had adopted St. Augustine's rule for preaching, as a rule for his prelections, he could not have come nearer the venerable father's standard of perfection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Medicine: Founded on the Most Extensive Experience in Public Hospitals and Private Practice; And Developed in a Course of Lectures Delivered at University College, London The predisposing causes of the disease are, in the first place, a peculiar constitution, and disposition to it. There are some people who, in whatever way they may be exposed to the general causes of inflammation, continually get a sore throat. Whenever they are exposed to the vicissitudes of temperature, coldness, and moisture, they are sure to have inflammation of the throat; and this will run in families, so as to be constitutional. It certainly is predisposed to by mercury. When persons have been much under the influence of mercury, they are very liable (as I formerly mentioned, when speak ing of inflammation in general) to take cold from the vicissitudes of temperature; and the throat is certainly particularly liable to inflammation from this cause. The youthful period of life appears more liable to tonsillitis than old age; for we see far more cases of inflammatory sore-throat in the young, than in the old. Perhaps, among the predisposing causes, I might mention the season of the year - spring. Cases of this description certainly occur (from cold and wet) more frequently in the spring, than at any other period of the year. The exciting causes of the disease are, especially, cold and wet - whether applied to the body at large, or to the feet only. Cold applied in any way, is sufficient to produce the disease. With regard to the treatment, it is rarely necessary to take blood from the arm; but leeches around the throat, are particularly useful. I do not know that it is necessary to apply them internally to the fauces. I think that, applied externally, they answer every purpose they can; and that a free application of leeches, is far superior to blistering. As a general rule, in the treatment of inflammation, we must be upon our guard never to let blistering take the place of the removal of blood. If the inflammation be at all severe, you only harass a patient (in any disease whatever) by blistering, if there be a necessity to take away blood; and, in this disease, blistering is a very painful remedy. A blister produces great anguish, when applied to the throat; and does not, by any means, answer so good a purpose as leeches - the frequent application of leeches externally, under the lower jaw, followed by poultices. The application of poultices not only tends' to encourage the bleeding, but is a constant fomentation - a mode of relaxing the parts, and causing perspira tion there. If the patient be too weak for you to apply leeches, a blister then will be proper; or, if you have applied leeches as much as you think advisable, and still it is requisite to do more before the disease can be controlled, then blisters may be used with advantage. It must be remembered, however, that when a patient can bear leeches, you will find them the most useful.

Elevated on account of extra ordinary talent and learning, at the youthful age of twenty-six, to the adjunct professorship of Obstetrics, in the University of Pennsylvania, he was, seven years afterwards, elected to the professorship of Materia Medica, and, in the thirty-sixth year of his age, was transferred to the Chair most congenial to his tastes and acquisitions - that of the Institutes and Practice of Physic, and Clinical Medicine. For many years past, with few living competitors, he has stood, confessedly, at the summit of his profession. Distinguish ed for his acquaintance with the Opinions of others, he is per haps unsurpassed for originality.

The profound and philosophical Outlines of Pathology and Practice of Medicine, of Dr. Alison; the elaborate work on the Principles of Medicine, of Dr. Williams; the eloquent as well as logical and scientific lectures of Dr. Watson and the unfortunately as yet unfinished work of Doctors Bright and Addison, on the Elements of Medicine, are more than sufficient evidence to the contrary. Without, however, in the slightest degree, detracting from the merits of these and similar works; it is, I believe, admitted that we are at present in need of a hand-book for students.

This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Principles and Practice of Surgery IT may be considered by many that a book upon Surgery is not at the present time one of the desiderata of the medical profession; and such a remark would, I think, be quite true, if it were intended to apply to a work on the abstract principles of the science. It is not without mature consideration that I have determined upon publishing the present vol. Ume; but I have come to the conclusion, that as its contents are of a practical character, embodying the experience of twenty-five years, dur ing which time I have occupied the position of surgeon to Guy's Hos pita], it would be found useful, not only to the student, but also to those who have entered upon the practice of their profession. It must be borne in mind, that it has not been my intention to write a systematic work on the elements of the science of surgery. These lectures were originally delivered before my hospital pupils; and in thus presenting them to the profession in a collected form, my object has been to furnish a useful compendium of surgery, in which the student may meet with a clear account of the practice of that science, established, not only on my own experience, but likewise upon the best acknowledged authorities. That the practice may not bear in some cases the character of empiricism, I have endeavoured, so far as I have been able to lay down the general principles of science upon which the practice is based at the same time I have avoided as much as possible any discussion of the hypotheses of the time, deeming my practical book an unfit medium for such matter.
