Synopsis

Excerpt from Cases of Scrofula, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Obstinate Habitual Constipation, &C: Successfully Treated by the Swedish Mode of Practice

Medicina Mechanica, Churchill, New Burlington Street.art, - rescue it entirely from the domains of em piricism, and prevent, by its legitimate use, that danger which ever must result from the indiscrimi nate or universal application of any one form of treatment to all diseases. It is, however, for the public to protect itself against the latter; and it will best effect this by comprehending rightly what a cure of both constitutional and chronic diseases really is, and the impossibility of effecting it solely by palliative measures. The public would thus 'have better health, and medical science more honor. It has ever been by a blind faith in the secret existence of some universal medical appliance, that panaceas, the most fertile of all sources of chronic disease, have, in the present day, arrived at such high pretensions.

Product Description

Excerpt from Cases of Scrofula, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Obstinate Habitual Constipation, &C: Successfully Treated by the Swedish Mode of Practice As the efficacy of any new medical treatment can be best tested by a faithful report of cases in which it has succeeded, I beg to lay before the medical public a selection of such cases from my "Case Book." These, it is hoped, may be sufficient to teach by analogy the use and probable extension of this valuable aid to medical science in general. Since the publication of my larger work in 1851, I have had abundant opportunity of testing the merits of exercises and manipulations not only in chronic cases of long duration and obstinate character, but also in a wide range of constitutional diseases. The system, I am glad to find, continues its steady progress on the Continent, and is rising gradually yet surely in the estimation of the public here.
