Excerpt from The Practice of Medicine, With the Sections of the Nervous System, Vol. 1: Specific Infectious Diseases and Diseases of the Nervous System

In the preparation of this work the author has endeavored to write from a thoroughly practical standpoint. That there is a place in Homoeo pathic literature for such a treatise will, it is believed, be generally admitted. In the therapeutic sections the aim has been to consider the relationship of medicines to disease conditions, especially from the supreme position of clinical experience, which must always prove the ultimate test of the value of any remedy. This treatment of the subject avoids certain objectionable methods of the past, particularly the intro duction of large numbers of symptoms from the materia medica, upon theoretical grounds only, and the failure to indicate the relative clinical value of medicines. The sections upon therapeutics contained in a work upon the Practice of Medicine are not of sufficient magnitude to permit of the inclusion of extensive discussions in special therapeutics, or the introduction of the materia medica bodily. Auxiliary methods of treat ment have not been omitted, since a complete guide to practice must include all important therapeutic measures, even if infrequently em ployed.

The preparation of the section treating of Diseases of the Nervous System has been committed to Dr. Clarence Bartlett, who has undoubtedly presented the subject more satisfactorily than is possible for one whose studies embrace the domain of general medicine. Dr. Bartlett has also rendered most valuable assistance in the collection and elaboration of material for other portions of the work. The article upon Syphilis is entirely from his pen.
