Book Description
Excerpt from Notes on the Newer Remedies, Their Therapeutic Applications and Modes of Administration The progress of pharmacology is so great that it is almost impossible for the standard works upon therapeutics to open their pages for the consideration of SO many discoveries as are being constantly made in the use of new remedial agents. Modern pathology, which necessarily includes the wide pro vince of bacteriology, has so revolutionized the world of scientific medicine, especially as regards the cause of disease, as to threaten a complete overthrow of every old system of therapeutics. A new era has certainly been opened for the study of the cause of disease, and pan: passu with the advance of path ology there is a similar progress in the study and application of new medicinal substances and measures, in all of which is seen the checkless spirit of investigation. It seems, indeed, nay, it is a fact, that no barrier can obstruct the tireless march of science. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Laws of Medicine
Author: Siddhartha MukherjeePublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 147678485X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Essential, required reading for doctors and patients alike: A Pulitzer Prize-winning author and one of the world’s premiere cancer researchers reveals an urgent philosophy on the little-known principles that govern medicine—and how understanding these principles can empower us all. Over a decade ago, when Siddhartha Mukherjee was a young, exhausted, and isolated medical resident, he discovered a book that would forever change the way he understood the medical profession. The book, The Youngest Science, forced Dr. Mukherjee to ask himself an urgent, fundamental question: Is medicine a “science”? Sciences must have laws—statements of truth based on repeated experiments that describe some universal attribute of nature. But does medicine have laws like other sciences? Dr. Mukherjee has spent his career pondering this question—a question that would ultimately produce some of most serious thinking he would do around the tenets of his discipline—culminating in The Laws of Medicine. In this important treatise, he investigates the most perplexing and illuminating cases of his career that ultimately led him to identify the three key principles that govern medicine. Brimming with fascinating historical details and modern medical wonders, this important book is a fascinating glimpse into the struggles and Eureka! moments that people outside of the medical profession rarely see. Written with Dr. Mukherjee’s signature eloquence and passionate prose, The Laws of Medicine is a critical read, not just for those in the medical profession, but for everyone who is moved to better understand how their health and well-being is being treated. Ultimately, this book lays the groundwork for a new way of understanding medicine, now and into the future.

Book Description
Excerpt from Practical Notes on the New American and Other Remedies "Medicine is a progressive science." - Code of Ethics. We have to congratulate our publishers on the rapid sale of the last Edition of the New Remedies, and wish this issue a like success. We have added many useful Notes to refresh the practitioner's memory in the sick room; for in the words of Professor Huxley, this "Modern medicine, in fact, is a kind of engineering; it is an attempt to study the machinery of the body, for the purpose of being able to put it right when it goes Wrong. Sickness is the going wrong of the machinery; death is the destruction of part of the machinery; and the only way in which that machinery can be set right, if it goes wrong, is not by sitting down and hoping - for it is not by sending for the first blacksmith who will administer his purge here and his bleeding there.

Recent Materia Medica

Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
Excerpt from Recent Materia Medica: Notes on Their Origin and Therapeutics All branches of Medical Science have taken great strides of late years. In Surgery, Spencer Wells and Lister, in Biological Medicine, Pasteur and Koch, have made clear steps in advance; and Therapeutics have become more rational, based on more accurate knowledge and a more extended field. And here an advanced state of information about new Materia Medica must be a decided help to the medical practitioner. Although there are many well-known remedies, superior in general practice to those mentioned in the following pages, yet every medical man has occasionally cases in which he would be glad to "ring the changes," and humour the system of his patient by trying a new medicine. The information in these Notes is compiled from many sources, extending over several years. Besides the Medical and Pharmaceutical Periodicals, the author owes thanks to the new Pharmacopoeias of Germany, the United States, and France; to the Year Books of Pharmacy, the Therapeutical works of Bartholow, Wood, Napheys, Farquharson and Ringer; Husemann and Hilger's "Pflanzenstoffe," Hanbury's "Pharmacographia," Bentley and Trimen's Medicinal Plants," Martindale's "Extra Pharmacop ia," Squibb's "Ephemeris," the "Therapist," Christy's "New Plants," Baillon's "Botanique Medicale," Quam's "Dictionary of Medicine," Papers by E. M, Holmes, Merck, Helbing, &c., &c. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unequal Treatment
Author: Institute of MedicinePublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 030908265X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 781
Book Description
Racial and ethnic disparities in health care are known to reflect access to care and other issues that arise from differing socioeconomic conditions. There is, however, increasing evidence that even after such differences are accounted for, race and ethnicity remain significant predictors of the quality of health care received. In Unequal Treatment, a panel of experts documents this evidence and explores how persons of color experience the health care environment. The book examines how disparities in treatment may arise in health care systems and looks at aspects of the clinical encounter that may contribute to such disparities. Patients' and providers' attitudes, expectations, and behavior are analyzed. How to intervene? Unequal Treatment offers recommendations for improvements in medical care financing, allocation of care, availability of language translation, community-based care, and other arenas. The committee highlights the potential of cross-cultural education to improve provider-patient communication and offers a detailed look at how to integrate cross-cultural learning within the health professions. The book concludes with recommendations for data collection and research initiatives. Unequal Treatment will be vitally important to health care policymakers, administrators, providers, educators, and students as well as advocates for people of color.
