Excerpt from Treatise on Therapeutics, Vol. 2
A considerable portion has been left out in this translation, amounting to 980 of original 2,196 pages (exclusively of indexes). This omission was necessary, in order to bring the work within suitable limits for publication in this library. The omitted portions are as follows:
1. The pharmaceutical details.
2. Descriptions of the physiological action of drugs.
3. Articles on Milk, Haw Meat, and Pepsin; on Magnetism, Electricity, Acupuncture, Massage, Gymnastics, and Flagellation; on Hydro-therapeutics and Caloric; and a small number of drugs of little importance.
4. The Introduction, 110 pages in length, containing a historical account of the progress of medicine from the earliest ages.
The translation is made from the latest (ninth) edition of the original, published in 1875 and 1877, under the direction of Professor Pidoux. This edition and the preceding one (eighth) were revised by M. Constantin Paul, who, however, has carefully avoided making any change which should alter "its original character and the stamp of the times when it was written."
Some errors of the pen have been corrected by the translator - such as "plus" for "moins," "efficacite" for "inefficacite," "tonic" for "toxic," and the more obvious mis-spellings of English and German names. Such other liberties as have been taken have been entirely in the interest of the reader; and it is hoped that the present text is not an unfaithful reproduction of the original.
