Excerpt from An Exposition of the Principles of the New Medical Doctrine: With an Analysis of the Theses Sustained on Its Different Parts When M. Broussais commenced promulgating his Opin ions, they were soon published and supported in theses, defended before the faculty of Medicine of Paris. These dissertations have not a little contributed to propagate a doctrine which is that of all physicians desirous of keeping pace with the march of science. Many amongst them have been sought for with eagerness, and contain many precious facts and discussions full of interest, which are not met with elsewhere. These theses being very rare, and most physicians not being able to consult the collections of the faculties, I have thought that it would be useful to present an analysis of them, as Robert did on a former occasion for the doctrine of the celebrated Bordeu; persuaded more over, that we could not draw from a purer source for the purpose of exposing the principles of a doctrine which has gained to its author so just a celebrity, and to his works such great success. Ihave frequently consulted also other writings, and Lhave never neglected to support the princi ples which I have presented, with the very words of the creator of Physiological medicine - Instructed for a long time in his school, attached during two years to the hospital of the Val de Grace, I am certain of never having altered, as has been too often done, the opinions which he professes.
