Book Description

Excerpt from Treatment of Diseases of the Heart and Lungs: With Over Three Hundred and Fifty Formulae and Prescriptions The author believes he is correct in stating, that among the numerous medical works there is no book which places before the physician the real practical hospital-treatment of disease: treatment which, founded on daily experience of the leading medical men of the times, and in the great wards of metropolitan hospitals, necessarily represents the latest, most approved, and most successful methods. A certain number of medical gentlemen, from various parts of the country, visit this city each year, at no little expense and loss of time, for the purpose of attending these hospitals and acquainting themselves with the views of the prominent and recognized authorities connected therewith. How valuable such information proves to them is evident to all, and beyond question. This practical knowledge the author has endeavored to place before the profession. The present volume contains a resume of the treatment of the several diseases of the lungs and heart, as exemplified in the various hospitals of New York City. It is hoped that the many imperfections, of which the author is only too conscious, may be dealt lightly with, and that the work may prove a useful one to the practitioner.
