Excerpt from Pelvic and Hernial Therapeutics: Principles and Methods for Remedying Chronic Affections of the Lower Part of the Trunk, Including Processes for Self-Cure
To simplify and render more intelligible the resources of the healing art; to enrich them by generous additions, from easily understood and applied principles of physics; to extend their scope; to include forms and stages of diseases heretofore only susceptible of palliation, would mark a highly desirable progress in medicine; and these are the ends sought in the following pages.
The facts of science, physical and physiological, as distinguished from the traditions of medicine, have been the guide in the development of the principles and methods embraced in this volume. This rather unusual circumstance will not, it is hoped, restrain the reader from applying the rigorous tests by which the scope and validity of all matters of practical beneficence must ultimately be decided - the tests of experience. And he may be encouraged by the fact that, the value and trustworthiness of the methods described have been well verified by critical and competent observers, whereby also, such crude and untenable matters as are liable to be connected with radical propositions have been well eliminated.
While perfection is not claimed for this work, it is confidently believed to contain much that is of value, if not indispensable, for the Physician, the Invalid, and the scientific Inquirer, and it is therefore commended to their careful consideration.
