Excerpt from The Influence of the Atmosphere, More Especially the Atmosphere of the British Isles, on the Health and Functions of the Human Frame: Including Practical Observations on Those Derangements of the Liver, Digestive Organs, Heart, and Nervous System, Resulting From Climatorial Influence, Irregularity of Living, Mental Anxiety, or Sedentary Habits

Thus in less than a page, is detailed a practice which, being founded on principle, is applicable to almost every 'stage and degree of dysentery (unless it has gone beyond the reach of medicine) and contains within itself, resources against most emergencies.

To guard against inflammation of the intestines and its consequences, we have the lancet on one side - to carry off diseased or irritating accumula tions, we have laxatives on the other while the fever, being merely symptomatic, will cease with the cause. For the successful issue of this treatment, in general, I appeal to the rigid experience of others, perfectly conscious of its matchless efficacy from my own.
