Excerpt from Transactions of the Antiseptic ClubThe seemingly perverted use of medicated pulp and carbolized ink is not always abortive of beneficial results. Truth is often a nauseous pill to swallow, here it has the sugar-coatin g of humor ¿avored with unalloyed sarcasm. In the transactions of the Antiseptic Club the thought ful physician will find much to awaken his cu riosity and interest, from the organization of the club, the various papers read and discussed, the testimonials considered, the cases submitted, the hypoderm, and finally the dental clinic at its rooms, all will be found redundant with effervescent exuberance. Charles Lamb says, A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market. Here a hundred laughs may be pro yoked to animate the muscles of mirth, atrophied from the disuse incident to the cares and anxi eties of medical practice. Those in quest of a case find here a needed repose in the refreshing out bursts of wit and humor which bubble and sparkle with health-giving cheer as the tale is told, and not a line will be found to be extra dry.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
