The Diseases of Infants and Children: And Their Homoepathic and General Treatment (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Diseases of Infants and Children: And Their Homœpathic and General Treatment
In the treatment of children there is much to encourage the practitioner. Their diseases are generally uncomplicated by internal organic changes, and by those deep and complex disorders of nutrition which result from the abused organs or over-used brains of the middle-aged, or of those degenerative changes which are to be found in the body during the decline of life. Neither are children liable to that emotional depression which often tells so disastrously on the recovery of adults. With them memory has nothing regretful to recall, and, after an illness, hope rises with exultant Wing.
They live emphatically in the present, and are exempt from the despondency which, in mature life, is apt to attend reflections on the past or anticipations of the future.
Sometimes, however, the desired victory is not gained disease triumphs, and a young life is lost, leaving a blank in the domestic circle which cannot soon be filled. The silence that reigns in the house, the vacant nursery, the unused toys, the treasured clothing, all speak eloquently and mournfully of the loss which is sustained by the bereaved household, and which frequently awakens the deep sympathy of the physician whose skill and care have been frustrated. Happily, the reverse of this generally happens, and the agony of suspense - so exquisitely expressed by David, Who can tell whether God will be gracious unto' me, that the child may live - is relieved, and the child, just now so seriously ill, recovers, to make his parents happy, perhaps to accomplish a great Work, and to leave a name in which posterity will rejoice.
