Excerpt from Intestinal Auto-Intoxication: Together With an Appendix on the Lactic Ferments With Particular Reference to Their Application in Intestinal Therapeutics

We must, therefore, if we wish to be faithful to this definition Of auto-intoxication (as we understand it), eliminate from our study all toxemias in which the toxic substances have been produced outside of the body and even those in which the toxins have been formed within the body, but under the influence Of microbes introduced accidentally from without. Many authors have extended the limits Of auto-intoxication much beyond those we assign to it here; for that reason we must examine and discuss the pathogeny of all these conditions, so as to remain within the limits Of our subject.

Excerpt from Intestinal Auto-Intoxication: Together With an Appendix on the Lactic Ferments With Particular Reference to Their Application in Intestinal Therapeutics

The object of this book is to make my methods of treatment known. As clinical professor of children's diseases, I have had occasion many times to occupy myself with the intestinal disorders so frequently met with in children.

Circumstances have also, for several years past, obliged me to see many adults suffering from intestinal affections, and it is the ensemble of these two classes of patients that has occasioned my study of the digestive diseases from a nearer point of view.

As physician to children and specialist in that branch, I had as a matter of fact, not particularly studied the affections of the digestive tract until then; moreover, having but little familiarity with their classical treatment, I was very naturally led to create for myself personal methods and special procedures. Among these disorders there is one, which by its frequency and its importance, has more especially attracted my attention, and that is Gastro-intestinal auto-intoxication. It has led me to seek out its pathogeny, to establish its symptomology and diagnostic features and to study its rational treatment.

From different quarters I have been asked to publish the results of my methods of treatment. To this invitation I have very willingly responded and that is the genesis of this work, which is dedicated to the history of digestive auto-intoxication.

I have reserved in it, an important place for the treatment, for that is the practical side, to which all medical study should lead. The regimen in this condition has been the object of my constant preoccupation. I attach so great an importance to it, that I have had organized throughout Switzerland, in many hotels, tables of regimen where, under the direction of special and responsible cooks, my dietetic prescriptions are scrupulously followed.
