Excerpt from The Practice and Applied Therapeutics of Osteopathy: Revised
The matter contained in this volume was delivered as a course of lectures. In order that the classes might have lectures in printed form as the work progressed, they were printed and distributed in weekly lots, but in such form that at the end of the course they could be bound and preserved. The work being printed piecemeal in this way explains why there occur various blank pages through the book. They will, however, be found useful for annotations.
As the lectures were delivered in conjunction with daily quizzes in the symptomatology of the diseases considered, the standard texts upon Practice of Medicine being used, it was manifestly desirable to omit from this work all the matter so easily accessible in those writings. This plan left the author free to devote these pages entirely to osteopathic considerations, intending that this work should be used in conjunction with any standard text of medical practice.
No special attempt has been made to follow the usual classification of diseases closely, for various reasons. Likewise, no effort has been made to cover every disease known. It is hoped, however, that the effort to represent the osteopathic view of disease and the osteopathic mode of treatment, even upon this limited scale, may not have been in vain.
