Excerpt from Diabetes Its Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
The object of this volume is to furnish the physician and student with the present status of our knowledge on the subject of diabetes in such practical and concise form as shall best meet the daily requirements of practice, as they seem to me from a careful study and recorded observation of the disease extending over a period of twenty-one years.
I have dwelt with some minuteness upon the treatment, more especially in matters of diet, well knowing that a disregard of these details constitutes the most frequent cause of failure in controlling the disease. In order to further elucidate this part of the subject, I have illustrated the various forms of the disease with their appropriate treatment from cases in actual practice, selected from my clinical records.
Finally, I have endeavored to bring out prominently the leading features of diabetes as it occurs in the United States, together with the natural resources of the country best suited to the disease, as the waters, foods, and climate, since the very extensive range of these entitles them to rank in point of efficiency for the relief of the diabetic patient as at least equal to those in any other land or clime.
