Latest Systems in Medicine
The Presidential Address Delivered to the Ohio State Medical Society, June, 1885 (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Latest Systems in Medicine: The Presidential Address Delivered to the Ohio State Medical Society, June, 1885 With these positive features of the medicine of to-day, allow me to contrast one negative. It is, the absence of any general theory of disease, or of the action of remedies. In no other point is there greater contrast between the medicine of the past and of the present than in this. We have no system of medicine. Upon this point the pub lic is' sadly ignorant. We are called allopaths by those who do not know what the term implies, and by those whose interest it is to make us out as narrow as themselves. The truth is, in the treatment of disease we are guided by the teachings of experience - not by theory.
