Excerpt from On the Action, Use, and Value of Oxygen, in the Treatment of Various Diseases Otherwise Incurable or Very Intractable
It will be admitted that the steady advance of physiological and chemical science - since I ventured to reintroduce, in earnest and decided terms, the subject of these pages - has for all practical purposes confirmed the views which I formerly expressed, and the force of the clinical and other evidence which I then adduced, in opposition to the scientific world who had stamped it out as a pseudo-scientific plague.
Upon mature reflection it is gratifying to find little to modify except crudities of no practical moment. In this respect much, doubtless, remains open to fair criticism, by which I hope to profit in issuing any future edition; while I may fairly claim justice and generosity on the part of former conscientious but mistaken opponents, who did not hesitate to couple my subject with "bread-pills," &c.
While the more important portions of the first edition are retained in their integrity, a moiety of this edition is almost a reprint from different numbers of the "British Medical Journal." A few clinical selections are now added.
