Excerpt from On the Electrolytic Treatment of Tumours: And Other Surgical Diseases Being a Paper Read Before the Medical Society of London, on January 28, 1867
In bringing my researches on the electrolytic treatment of tumours and other surgical diseases before the Profession, I hardly think that an apology will be necessary for the circumstance that a physician should endeavour to inaugurate a new treatment of such diseases as fall more particularly within the province of the pure surgeon. I trust we are all votaries of catholic medicine, of that one and indivisible science which embraces all the ills mortal man is heir to, whether they are internal or external, and whether mechanical, chemical, or dynamic remedies are required for their removal. There are few surgeons now-a-days who are not fully alive to the advantage to be gained by the administration of constitutional remedies in the treatment of surgical diseases; and I take it that no physician can be really successful in the practice of medicine, who is not well acquainted with surgical pathology and therapeutics. Several instances are on record where surgeons have suggested and carried out valuable improvements in the practice of medicine; and I now express the hope that these researches of a Physician may serve to advance the treatment of a large and important class of surgical diseases.
