Excerpt from Studies, Chiefly Clinical, in the Non-Emetic Use of Ipecacuanha: With a Contribution to the Therapeusis of Cholera
This little work has grown out of an attempt to solve questions arising in the course of my ordinary duty. Originally in the form of special reports to the Surgeon General of the Army and afterward published with additions in the Atlanta Medical and Surgical Journal, the material and argument have increased so that I venture to offer it in this shape for the consideration of the profession.
It is, in chief part, an itinerary of an actually travelled route, with suggestions for the explanation of certain observed phenomena, written out to assist other ordinary travellers; and is not a complete survey, much less an elaborate treatise upon the territory, for the entertainment of students in the closet. There is one extended speculation upon what may be found in an adjacent region, but should that prove false it will not detract from the value of the recorded facts.
I do not scruple to use the first person wherever simplicity of style requires, but I do so in all modesty only for directness of speech and not with an unbecoming assumption of authority.
The occasional reference to different editions of the same works arose from the necessity of depending upon various and imperfect libraries. The references marked with an asterisk I have been unable to examine, and are used at second hand; the others I have personally consulted.
