Excerpt from The Rational Treatment of Rupture: A Study of the Causation, Pathology, and Varieties of Hernia, The Application of Improved Modern Trusses, Elastic Stockings, EtcThe ruptured have relied on trusses for the relief and cure of Hernia for centuries.Life Insurance Companies accepting the ruptured, make it an obligation to the applicant to wear a truss. In this case the interest of the Company is only a moneyed one, which must carry evidence of the importance of a truss. Therefore we can come to no other conclusion than that the Rational Treatment of Her nia lies in the perfection of the Truss and its proper application.In part first I have endeavored to give to the professional man, as well as others, the late and correct anatomy of the parts in relation to each of the common species of Hernia or Rupture.It would be well if the ruptured would study enough to learn the fact that charms, plasters, salves, electricity, curative com pounds, and the whole category, are but sly methods to catch those who are ignorant of the true nature of rupture.Probably there are few so ignorant, who, in case of a broken limb would seek a curative compound, salves, electricity, charm, or what not, but rather an experienced surgeon to secure its proper replacement and an appliance to retain the parts in their normal position, knowing that nature furnishes the curing process.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
