On the Treatment of Syphilis and Other Diseases Without Mercury: Being a Collection of Evidence to Prove That Mercury Is a Cause of Disease, Not a Remedy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from On the Treatment of Syphilis and Other Diseases Without Mercury: Being a Collection of Evidence to Prove That Mercury Is a Cause of Disease, Not a Remedy
Every week, in dispensary practice, I am witness of the disagreeable effects which take place from the almost universal habit which obtains among practitioners of giving mercury in bronchitis, pneumonia, in pleurisy, in dyspepsia, &c., but most of all in syphilis. Patients, too, are continually in forming na that they are bilious, after indulging in copious beer and gin drinking and tobacco smoking, or remaining from nine in the morning until ten at night in a close atmosphere, as is commonly the case with young women employed in book-folding, millinery, And so dangerous a legacy has the profession been left by those who first used the word bilious to stand for a mass of cases of indigestion and mal-nutrition, that these patients are accustomed to swallow mercurial pills, whenever they experience the uneasiness which results from such unhealthy modes of living.
