Synopsis
This book is an early treatise on the Principles of Medicine, which is the study of the phenomena of disease during life, in general and particular. It begins by establishing that disease is a deviation from the state of health, often caused by external or internal factors. It then divides diseases into organic and functional, with the former resting upon an anatomical basis and the latter being recognizable by deviation from a physiological standard. The author goes on to discuss the nature of disease, arguing that it is the result of abnormal force and that disease processes are the same as life processes, only differently combined and arranged. The book covers a wide range of topics, including etiology (the causes of disease), symptomatology (the study of symptoms), diagnosis (the identification of disease), prognosis (the prediction of the course of disease), and treatment. It also delves into the relationship between disease and the environment, laying the groundwork for the field of epidemiology. The author's insights into these subjects provide a foundation for understanding the nature and treatment of disease, making this book a valuable resource for medical professionals and students alike.
