Excerpt from Clinical Notes on Cancer: Its Etiology and Treatment; With Special Reference to the Heredity-Fallacy, and to the Neurotic Origin of Most Cases of Alveolar Carcinoma
The following pages seek to convey, as briefly as possible, the practical experience of several years' work among cancerous patients. I have abstained from quoting rare cases which served to inculcate no useful lesson; but, on the other hand, have endeavoured to emphasize those points of clinical importance which seemed to me misconceived or unduly neglected; and, in one especial particular, to point out the fallacy of a widely-prevalent view, which I believe to work much mischief. No attempt has been made at elaborate description or exhaustive investigation; but the impressions re ceived through constant familiarity with common every-day cases, and the deductions to which they gave rise, are set down without prejudice. How ever imperfectly this has been done, I trust that the present little work, as a conscientious record of such observations, will not be found altogether useless.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of cancer, a group of diseases characterized by their malignancy and tendency to spread. The author challenges prevailing beliefs of the time, such as the role of heredity and the existence of a 'cancerous diathesis,' instead proposing a groundbreaking theory: that cancer, particularly carcinoma and sarcoma, originates from nervous system dysfunction. In an era marked by advancements in science and a growing understanding of human biology, this book stands out for its exploration of the intricate relationship between the nervous system and the development of cancer. The author meticulously examines various forms of cancer, including those affecting the breast and uterus, drawing upon clinical observations and patient case studies to support their arguments. Beyond medical insights, the book delves into the social and emotional factors that contribute to cancer, highlighting the impact of stress, grief, and challenging life circumstances. The author's exploration of these themes offers a compassionate perspective on the experiences of cancer patients and underscores the importance of holistic approaches to treatment. Ultimately, this book's enduring value lies in its pioneering ideas about the origins of cancer and its emphasis on the profound influence of the nervous system on human health and disease.
