Excerpt from Rest and Pain: A Course of Lectures on the Influence of Mechanical and Physiological Rest in the Treatment of Accidents and Surgical Diseases, and the Diagnostic Value of Pain

The first edition of these lectures was published, soon after their delivery, at the express request of some who had read them as they appeared at intervals in the weekly journals, and by many others who desired to have them gathered into a separate form. The first edition, in which I had the kindly and liberal help of my personal friends, Dr. Baldy and Mr. Dur ham, at that time Demonstrator of Anatomy at Guy's Hospital, was soon out of print. It was my intention at that time to have enlarged the volume by additional matter derived from other and different surgical diseases, -but all having the same purpose in view - namely, to Show how largely we are indebted for our professional success in surgical practice to the recuperative power. Of Nature, especially when helped by the sug gestions of a thoughtful surgeon. But, on carefully scrutinizing the materials, I foresaw what appeared to be insuperable difficulties; and Since then, from one cause or another, I have allowed the reappearance of these lectures to be from time to time deferred. As, however, I have lately been assured, on repeated occasions, that a second edition would be welcome and useful to many, I have submitted the lectures to the careful and judicious editorial guidance of Mr. Jacobson, who has conferred on me a great obligation for the work he has now so well accomplished, with the slight aid of my Own occasional assistance and supervision.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound significance of rest in the realm of healing and surgery. Dating back to a time when rest was the primary means of recuperation, the author explores its role as an intrinsic and often overlooked therapeutic force. Through a blend of anatomical insights and physiological principles, the book sheds light on the body's innate ability to repair itself, emphasizing the importance of minimizing disturbances to optimize healing processes. With meticulous attention to detail, the author examines how nature ingeniously employs rest to restore various organs, from the brain to the liver and kidneys. The concept of "physiological rest" is introduced, highlighting the need for organs to cycle between states of activity and repose to maintain optimal function. The book further delves into the role of the cerebrospinal fluid in providing mechanical rest for the brain, drawing parallels with the protective mechanisms of other organs. This exploration extends to the intricate nervous system, exploring the diagnostic value of pain and its role in signaling the need for rest in injured or diseased areas. Drawing upon years of surgical experience, the author presents compelling case studies that illustrate the remarkable efficacy of rest in treating a wide range of conditions, including joint diseases, abscesses, and spinal injuries. Ultimately, this book serves as a testament to the enduring power of rest as a fundamental principle in the art of healing. It underscores the importance of understanding and harnessing the body's natural healing abilities, offering invaluable insights for both medical practitioners and individuals seeking to optimize their well-being. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
