A Practical Treatise On Typhoid And All Other Slow Fevers Broken In Fourteen Days PDF Download

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Typhoid and All Other Slow Fevers Broken in Fourteen Days As the writer has so greatly lessened the mortality, and shortened the duration of typhoid fever than as given in text books, he has for this reason set this work before the public. The reader is requested to examine the chapter on the treatment and formulas at the close of the book before begin ning to read the work. In order to clearly set forth the basis upon which this work is founded, namely, the vaso-motor capillary systems and the sympathetic nervous system, the author has quoted the direct words of the American Text-book of Physiology, and also from Hare on Practical Therapeutics. And in order for the author to prove or disapprove his own ideas, he has also quoted some of the exact words of Nothnagel and Osler themselves. In order to prove that some of the commonly accepted ideas of Osler and Nothnagel are illogical and erroneous, the author has quoted a few of the exact words of these authors. The author is greatly indebted to Hektoen and Riesman for their ideas, as seen in their work on Pathology as pertain ing to the probability of the typhoid bacilli being nothing more than a rejuvenated colon bacilli.
