Excerpt from Leaders in Respiratory Organ The object of this unpretentious work is to place before the busy practitioner the indications, especially the leading ones, in a different way from that usually found in the ordinary text books. To the beginner, arranging the remedies in alphabetical order, without regard to the different stages of diseases, is rather confusing. It may justly be claimed that this way of mine has a tendency to lead to routinism. I have tried to guard against that by repeatedly assuring my readers that by remedy might be indicated in any stage of a complaint, and if so they must not be ignored. As will be seen, I have purposely avoided taking up time and space with the pathology and diagnosis of disease as found in the text books, my reasons being that, important as that may be, after all the selection of the remedy according to our art, according to symptomological indications, is of far more importance for curative purposes. By this method of symptom-covering we are enabled to cure many a disease which cannot with certainty be named, and about which the best diagnosticians living would widely differ.
