Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Essay on the Prevention and Rational Treatment of Lateral Spinal Curvature: With Numerous Illustrations
Having acted, I may say not unsuccessfully, on this principle for forty-four years, I wish to induce my younger professional brethren to act in a similar way, although they may find it very difficult to give up the prejudices with which they have been imbued duu'ng their studies, when the majority Of them have had no Opportunity of observing the beneficial in?uence and curative effects Of air, water, exercise, and of dietetic and hygienic regimen in general, when properly used and carefully adapted to the indi vidual cases. Many medical students, having worked very hard in order to pass a good theoretical examination, and having Obtained their degree (without a previous practical instruction in the preventive treatment of some chronic complaints which have never been admitted to the wards Of the hospital), are in the beginning of their practice, very much puzzled what to do when their advice and assistance are required in complaints they have never seen.
