DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Principles and Practice of Medicine: Founded on the Most Extensive Experience in Public Hospitals and Private Practice; And Developed in a Course of Lectures Delivered at University College, London On the immediate occurrence of haemorrhage from the lungs, it is right to treat it as in ammation -to bleed in the arm freely; and to set the patient upright, and keep him so; in order to make him feel as faint as possible. You should keep him in that position, instead of allowing him to lie down. It is safe to apply ice to the front of the chest; and this, I think, should always be done. There can be no impropriety in it. As soon as you have bled, until ice can be procured, you should throw cold water on the chest; and endeavour to produce a contraction of the end of the vessels - in the same way as you proceed in the case of the womb. But generally the bleeding soon stops; for a patient seldom dies of haemoptysis at the time. Bleeding at the arm, throwing open the windows and doors, and taking the clothes off the chest, answer very well. The patient should not be allowed to move. He should be made easy and comfortable; but he should not be allowed to move, or to speak. I have often made persons persevere, for a fortnight together, after dangerous haemorrhages - making them write for whatever was wanted. It is proper to starve the patient; to give him nothing but plain water, milk and water, lemonade, or things of that description; and it is surprising how patients, in this disease, bear cold. I know not a single instance of a person suffering in ammation of the chest, from all this exposure; notwithstanding that, in other circumstances, he would, in all probability, have suffered severely.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Principles of Medicine, and Medicine Without Principle When I first entered upon the duties of a Physician, I was struck by the fact that Medical Practice of all schools was destitute of any reliable principles governing treat ment of disease. That there was no certainty that the treatment of different physicians of any School of Medicine would be based upon the same fundamental ideas in any given case. Physicians of every school are liable to differ in regard to the expression of disease. They are also liable to differ as to treatment, even when they agree in diagnosis, i. E., in the description of disease. As I gained experience in the use of medicines I discovered certain land-marks or principles which have guided me in their application; and I have never known them to betray me. I publish an outline of these principles, because I believe them to be of great value to the public. Although a knowledge of them may not qualify every individual always to dispense with a professional doctor, it may. And should be, a protection against medical imposition; and, furthermore, we deem it but fair that one who finds fault with the practice of others should show a better way.

Human Physiology is the study of the state and activities of the body in health; Pathology is the study of the state and activities of the body in disease. To study Pathol ogy to advantage, therefore, it is necessary that the student he conversant with the facts and principles of Physiology, and to make a practical application of this knowledge, that he shall have verified those which are cognizable to our senses by per sonal observation. In this manner he establishes in his own mind a standard of comparison, and is enabled to determine variations from this.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Short History of Medicine: Introducing Medical Principles to Students and Non-Medical Readers A work on Medicine must be colored, in some degree, by its author's conception of the nature of Life. On this theme there are divers views, for the full discussion of which there is here no place. The author professes himself, however, an adherent of a school of thought that is not, at present, greatly in fashion. He ranges himself as a vitalist under the banner of Aristotle and as a follower in the goodly company Of Harvey, Hunter and Virchow, of Claude Bernard and Johannes Muller. He believes that there is a principle in living things that cannot be expressed in chemical or physical terms. He believes that this principle works to an intelligible end, that it is an Entelechy, an indwelling purposiveness, and that it is as real a thing as anything that is.
