Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Medical Sketches of the Campaigns of 1812, 13, 14: To Which Are Added Surgical Cases, Observations on Military Hospitals, and Flying Hospitals Attached to a Moving Army; Also an Appendix, Comprising a Dissertation on Dysentery
The note on the winter epidemic, at Sharon and Rochester, in the State of Mass tchusetts, was not contemplated in the first prospectus of the book; the transactions at those places having Occurred since it was published but will be no less interesting to medical readers, especially in those parts of new-england, where the epidemic made dreadful ravages. The stimulating practice in that disease, had previously, on the frontiers, been op posed with some warmth. In the last instance, it has not been treated with too much severity although this absurd, destruct ive practice, in many instances, had been adopted by gentlemen of high standing as physicians whose medical knowledge I res pest, and friendship highly esteem.
