Excerpt from Heart Disease, Rheumatism, Dispepsia, &C, : Their CureIN common with all medical students, my early teachings were that diseases of the heart were utterly incurable, that there was no remedy for them, and that the unfortunate su¿'erers had no refuge but in death. Early in my practice I was consulted in many such cases, and I could o¿'er neither remedies, consolation, nor hope of cure. At length these distressing instances forced themselves so frequently upon my notice that I was led to make the inquiry, Were the principles of medicine at fault, and so much at fault, that they could not be successfully applied to the treatment of dis ease of the heart? Was Medicine a myth? And were medical remedies so powerless that, when such an organ as the heart became diseased, there were none to be found adapted to its cure? I could not content myself with the affirmative answer. I believed that Medicine was not a fallacy, but, on the contrary, a great and sub lime truth, and that no disease probably existed for which there were not adequate remedies. I knew that fatal mechanical obstruc tions might exist, but I believed that disease, properly so denomi Dated, must be within the reach of remedies.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
