Excerpt from Consumption of the Lungs, or Decline: The Causes, Symptoms, and Rational Treatment With the Means of Prevention The simplicity, good sense, and practical character of this little work have induced the publishers to issue an American edition. In regard to a disease which is so fatally interesting to a large portion of man kind it is desirable that correct ideas should exist so far as the present condition of medical science can furnish them. Its insidious approach, the uncertainty of its earliest indications, its slow progress and fatal termination in so large a proportion of cases, renders it peculiarly Open to the treacherous promises of Quackery, and renders people distrustful of the aid which science can afford. To give to the popular reader a knowledge of the true nature of the disease, a general idea of its his tory, course, and terminations, of the habits of life which tend to de velope or to check it, together with those remedies which on the whole have been found most useful to mitigate its symptoms, or to stay its progress, has been the aim of the author. And in this he has been most eminently successful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
