Book Description

Excerpt from Hay Fever: Or Rhinitis Vaso-Motoria Periodica and Its Radical Cure Worthy objects often suffer at the hands of zealous, though injudicious friends. The liter ature of our school on the subject of hay fever, though scanty, consists, for the most part, of treatises which exhibit a woeful lack of exact knowledge. The reflections to which this gives rise are not pleasant to those who have at heart the best interests of a rational system of medi cine. Our works on hay fever are signally deficient regarding the etiology and pathology of the disease, while the therapeutics presented are meagre and empirical, and, in some respects, calculated to mislead. It is the poverty of our literature onthe subject which has prompted me to offer to the profession this monograph. I do so in the hope that the suggestions and the in formation which it contains may be of some service in aiding them not only to relieve, but to cure many of that great army, of sufferers who, I am sure, would be willing to cast golden treas ures at their feet. In spite of its possible inaccuracies I trust that it may merit recognition, and that criticism may be unreserved and just.
