Book Description

Excerpt from An Address on the Bonds of Professional Union: Delivered Before the Medical Association of Adams, Brown, and Clermont Counties, O., At Batavia, October 30, 1847 Our most common articles, such as mercury, antimony, quinine and Opium, admit Of additional enlargement in their therapeutical uses and every day practitioners are adding their testimony to the diversified virtues Of these staple articles of our materia medica. The extended use Of mercury as an alterant by Abernethy, the augmented doses Of antimony by the Italian physicians - the decided Opiate practice Of Armstrong in enteri tis, - and the large quantities of quinine given by our Southern practitioners, prove the beneficial results which arise from a farther extension Of the uses of these well tried and most effective weapons Of our medical warfare.
