Excerpt from A Book of Medical Discourses: In Two Parts

In dealing with subjects that bring to mind thousands of premature mortalities, as, for instance, those from cholera infantum or pneumonia, I deem it expedient to speak only of what I know and to which I can testify. I have endeavored to give some domestic or ready palliative reliefs for the several cases described; thereby hoping to avoid the possibility of a remedy's being applied without an acquaintance with the character and phases of the complaint for which it is intended. There is no doubt that thousands of little ones annually die at our very doors, from diseases which could have been prevented, or cut short by timely aid. Peo ple do not wish to feel that death ensues through neglect on their part; indeed they speak of con sumption, cholera infantum, and diphtheria, etc., as if sent by God to destroy our infants.
