Excerpt from The Greater Diseases of the Liver: Jaundice, Gall-Stones, Enlargements, Tumours, and Cancer; And Their TreatmentThe prevailing ignorance Of good Organ-remedies is lamentable. Not long since a lady came to me for a chronic liver affection Of nine years' standing, and, though her physician is a man of high standing in the profession, and a doctor of medicine of the University of London, his sole treatment had consisted in giving the accursed morphia to lull the pains. He had never even tried one single good organ-remedy, and this not withstanding the fact that patient has long been profoundly jaundiced. And this, too, is I fear, a fair sample of the every day work of the men of light and leading in the profession.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
