Excerpt from Cerebral Hyper?mia: Does It Exist? A Consideration of Some Views of Dr. William A. Hammond
Possibly among the developments of that most civilizing and beneficent of inventions - the printing press - there is none more curious, and certainly none more detrimental to public morals, than the ever-increasing plague of medical literature, so to speak, with which we are everywhere environed. But apart altogether from those infamies that are laid at our door-steps, or obtruded into our hands at the street corners, the medical practitioner has a grievance of his own of another order. "To keep up with the times" he must perforce wade daily through no end of meaningless magazine literature, and must necessarily pour over seriatim those ephemeral "works" which in nine cases out of ten appear to be published for no other purpose than to herald abroad the "genius" of some particular individual.
