Excerpt from The Motive Power of the Human System With the Duodynamic Symptoms Treatment of Chronic Diseases

We said thus much in the Preface to the third edition of this work; and now that three more editions have been exhausted, and a seventh has become in urgent demand, we think it proper to add the following pertinent and gratifying facts that have ad interim transpired.

The direct connection which we traced, many years since, between the posterior spinal nerves and the ganglionic or sympathetic system of nerves, and which has been denied and ridiculed by the great and little Solomons of the profession, has been demonstrated by volkman and bidder, the distinguished German anatomists, who distinctly traced it with the microscope. Thus the symptoms of disease, developed by pressure on the intervertebral spaces of the spinal column, upon which the author has successfully practised for much more than a quarter of a century, and which he has taught in this and many previous publications, are now conclusively established by other evidence and authority and it will soon be seen that the pathology, treatment, and remedies, which we have so long adopted, in consonance with our knowledge of these symptoms, will be confirmed also, as appropriate and indispensable.
