Excerpt from Therapeutic Means for the Relief of Pain: Being the Prize Essay for Which the Medical Society of London Awarded the Fothergillian Gold Medal in 1874
The Essay which is now submitted to the Profession has just been carefully revised in every part, and an attempt has been made to bring it up to the scientific knowledge of the day. There is no pretension to make this book a dictionary of all past resources for the relief of Pain; my object is, not to furnish a museum of antiquities, but to offer something useful to present practitioners of Medicine. Doctors and patients are alike liable to be the victims of Pain; and it will be no small reward if my Work can contribute, even in the least degree, to diminish the sad heritage of human suffering.
