The Essentials Of Clinical Toxicology PDF Download

Excerpt from The Essentials of Clinical Toxicology The publication of this discussion of poisoning and its treatment was prompted by the difficulty of finding among the various manuals on the subject any satisfactory presentation of its problems from the exclusive standpoint of the physician engaged in general practice, who, from force of circumstances, sees so few cases of acute poisoning that he must, in his management of them, rely not upon set procedures made familiar by frequent use but upon the application of a few more general principles. Therefore, in this presentation, the effort is made to relate the essential phenomena of poisoning with the more familiar facts of pharmacology, pathology, and general therapeutics, to serve particularly the needs of the beginning student of the subject. Altho some of the time-honored procedures in the management of poisoning have either been omitted or cited as inferior to certain non-medicinal measures, this has been done only in instances where there is found in the literature ample justification for it, and where the rationale of the newer procedure is acceptable. Credit for the various ideas expressed cannot be specifically given to the authors consulted. Among these, however, are the following: Toxicology - Witthaus, Emerson, Reese, Brundage, Tanner, Autenrieth, Rambousek; Handbook of Therapy of A.M.A.; Willcox in "A System of Treatment," edited by Latham; Index of Differential Diagnosis; A. R. Short, in International Medical Annual, 1915; Bastedo. Materia Medica; Hydrotherapy, Abbott; Tyrode, Pharmacology; Greene, Pharmacology; Potter, Materia Medica; Medical Chemistry and Toxicology, Holland; Census Reports; Practice of Medicine, Osier, Tyson; Shock, in "Circulation in Health and Disease," Wiggers; and others.
