Excerpt from Obesity, or Excessive Corpulence: The Various Causes and the Rational Means of Cure

The physician has a twofold duty to perform. He is called upon not merely to alleviate pain, and to undertake the cure of disease, but he is moreover, required to lay down rules for the preservation of health, the prevention of dis ease, and its too frequent concomitant, pain.

Now, health being dependent upon the due and regular performance of the vital functions by the several physiological organs of the body, any excessive development of these organs, or undue manifestation of force on their part, must, of necessity, be contrary to the general health of the body, and be productive of dis ease and pain.
