Book Description

Excerpt from Richmond and Louisville Medical Journal, 1872-1873: Volumes 13 and 14 Since writing the above, I have seen several articles in various medical journals, of which I particularly remember one by Dr. T. C. Osborn, of Greens borough, Ala, published in the New Orleans Medical J ournal, October 1870, advocating precisely my doctrine, and I feel proud to be sustained by such distinguished authority. I have also seen N iemeyer's work on Practice, edi tion 1869, advocating substantially the same views, and, by the way, in his preface to that edition apologizing for not having issued a new edition for seven years, he says that nothing has been lost to mankind, for within that period, towit, the period from 1862 to 1869, more improvement has been made in the treatment of grave diseases, amongst which he enumerates pneu monia, than for fifty years before. (i quote from memory, but substantially). By reference to his treatment of pneumonia, it will be seen that it closely ap proximates mine.
