Excerpt from Counter-Irritation, Its Principles and Practice: Illustrated by One Hundred Cases of the Most Painful and Important Diseases Effectually Cured by External Applications

So long ago as the year 1889, I promised, in another work of mine, to publish the result of my experience respecting the particular class of countere irritants to which I have just alluded, and the first idea of which had occurred to me three years before. Considering, however, the very extraordinary influ ence which those counter-irritants seemed to exercise over many important diseases, - an influence which was above that of all other counter-irritants usually employed by the professibn; and feeling satisfied in my own mind that the effects, equally rapid and beneficial, produced by those counter-irritants, in order to be credited by the public, must rest on a more widely-extended experience than I then possessed, - I determined on waiting some years longer, ere I fulfilled my promise; in the h0pe of being able to accumulate a large body of evidence in favour of a mode of treating diseases hitherto so much neglected.
