Text-Book of the Medical Treatment of Diseases and Symptoms

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The sequence of the chapters in this work rests chiefly on an anatomical and physiological basis, but occasionally sections have been inserted dealing with symptoms of frequent occurrence. Under the heading of the different diseases those symptoms only are mentioned which afford indications for treatment. Similarly, with regard to the causes and complications of certain morbid conditions, stress is laid upon those which call for prophylactic or remedial measures. To present a complete account of the various diseases, including questions relating to pathology, diagnosis, and prognosis, would have been beyond the Scope and purpose of this book.
