Michigan Medical News 2 1879 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical News, Vol. 12: February, 1879 Ought this to be so? By no means. Our cardinal prin ciple in medicine should be to assist nature in recovery as fast as possible (for the term cure is inadmissible outside of surgery, if we seek to be literally correct); and, when this end can not be attained, we owe it to ourselves and our patients to mitigate suffering, or retard the progress of disease to the utmost extent within our power. Happily, there are some who act on this doctrine; and by their la bors we gain, from year to year, new knowledge of the sub ject, better appreciation of what needs to be done, and suggestions which are already yielding more satisfactory results in cephalalgic therapeusis.
