Excerpt from Fallacies of the Faculty, Vol. 1: With the Principles of Chrono-Thermal Medicine The chrono-thermal System of Medicine has shared the fate of every truly great discovery. Translated, reprinted, and landed abroad, it was first denied, decried, then plagiarised at home. And now, at the eleventh hour, (or year!) when F rafrce, Germany, Sweden, and America, have each come forward to speak to its worth, I, its author, find myself here in England exposed to the hourly abuse of men who gain their bread by practising in secret, or under some paltry disguise, the very principles they have surreptitiously pilfered from me! Who does not remember the london Practice of Physic only ten years ago - the barbarities practised under the name of medicine? Leech, lancet, and calomel - where are they now - those so-called sheet-anchors of the Medical Art? The change that in that short time has been accomplished in Physic, is not less great than what has taken place in our mode of locomotion through the agency of steam. Ten years ago, where was the madman so foolhardy as to declare that the Lancet could be dispensed with in Apo plexy! Nearly ten years it is, however, since I first had to run the moral gauntlet for explaining, not only that this could be done, but that the employment of the Lancet is the most certain course to render that disease fatal! And here have we now, in 1845, Books, Pamphlets, and Reviews all corroborating the fact, but studiously con cealing the name of him who first announced it! The Editor of the Medical Times, for one, will not deny, that when he first printed, as a marvel, a case of Apoplexy that had been successfully treated without Bleeding by Mr. Baldy, of Devonport, such was his dread of the professional conspiracy against me, he was obliged to draw his pen through the passage in the narration that alluded to Dr. Dickson as the first teacher of the new treatment! Nothing can more forcibly show the value of an article, than attempts to steal it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
