Excerpt from Counter-Irritation, Its Principles and Practice: Illustrated by One Hundred Cases of the Most Painful and Important Diseases Effectually Cured by External Applications
So long ago as the year 1889, I promised, in another work of mine, to publish the result of my experience respecting the particular class of countere irritants to which I have just alluded, and the first idea of which had occurred to me three years before. Considering, however, the very extraordinary influ ence which those counter-irritants seemed to exercise over many important diseases, - an influence which was above that of all other counter-irritants usually employed by the professibn; and feeling satisfied in my own mind that the effects, equally rapid and beneficial, produced by those counter-irritants, in order to be credited by the public, must rest on a more widely-extended experience than I then possessed, - I determined on waiting some years longer, ere I fulfilled my promise; in the h0pe of being able to accumulate a large body of evidence in favour of a mode of treating diseases hitherto so much neglected.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a new and innovative method for treating diseases called "counter-irritation." The author explains that illness can be the result of localized irritation in the body that can be treated with counter-irritation, especially when this irritation is caused by a slow circulation of fluids in the body. The author lays out three conditions for the successful use of this treatment; 1) that no other method of cure would be as effective, 2) that a weaker rather than a stronger counter-irritant should be used when possible, and 3) that the patient should be able to tolerate the treatment. This groundbreaking book opens new possibilities for treating diseases that donāt respond to traditional methods.
