Lectures on Diseases of the Heart, Vol. 1 of 3 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Lectures on Diseases of the Heart, Vol. 1 of 3 The Lectures contained in this volume were delivered before the Class of Hahnemann Medical College, Chicago, during the winter of 1870-71. I was appointed by the Faculty of the College to give a special course of Lectures on Diseases of the Heart and their homoeopathic treatment. The satisfaction manifested by the class emboldened me to publish them. The reception of the first edition by the profession was so favorable, that a second has been demanded. To the original volume I have added an Appendix containing several papers on Cardiac Disorders, read before the Illinois State Homoeopathic Medical Society; also a copious Index, which may be of value to the student and practitioner. As it is manifest that but little that is new or original relating to the Etiology and Diagnosis of diseases of the heart can be presented, I cannot be criticized for quoting largely from standard authorities on that subject. The treatment, however, is in accordance with the doctrines first promulgated by Hahnemann. The therapeutics is enlarged by addition of new remedies not recommended by other authorities. While I accord the largest liberty in the matter of close, I have advised the quantities and attenuations which have been most successful in my hands, or that are indicated by my law of dose, which I have fully explained herein.
