A Treatise on Pulmonary Consumption, Its Prevention and Remedy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Treatise on Pulmonary Consumption, Its Prevention and Remedy

"With step as noiseless as the summer air,
"Who comes in beautiful decay? Her eyes
"Dissolving with a feverish glow of light;
" - and on
"Her cheek a rosy tint, as if the tip
"Of beauty's finger faintly press'd it there:
"Alas! Consumption is her name."

We have ventured in the following pages to submit to the medical world some considerations on the cure and prevention of Pulmonary Consumption, in the firm belief that this good has been achieved: there is nothing empirical in the case, but the plan proposed is based on the solid principles of inductive truth. The ratiocination seems altogether indisputable, and the question set at rest by the evidence of fact adduced in its favour,-founded on reasonable deductions and correct analogies. Accident has had no part in this discovery; it is the immediate deduction ab initio, from, we humbly conceive, the soundest principles of legitimate science.
