Book Description

Excerpt from Clinical Researches on Disease in India The haste inseparable from the circumstances in which this work was originally prepared and published, led to numerous defects of arrangement and execution, which I have endeavoured to amend in the present edition. While the size of the book has been much reduced by the adoption of a smaller type, a more careful selection of cases, and a thorough revision of the text, - full use has been made of three years' additional experience in India, partly as Professor of Clinical Medicine, and partly as Superintending Surgeon of the Poona division of the Bombay army. My matured opinions on the therapeutic value of quinine and of arsenic, and on the best methods of using these medicines in malarious fevers, have been explained. The occasional occurrence of Typhoid - Enteric - fever in India has been acknowledged; and chapters on Sun-Stroke and on the Hill Sanitaria of the Deccan have been added.
