Excerpt from Influence of the Progress of Medical Science on Medical Art: Address Before the Medical Society of the State of New-York, Delivered February 4, 1863
The action Of medicinal agents is better understood, and chemical science has furnished us with these agents in more convenient forms, and our materia medica has been enriched with new and potent remedies. But besides all this, the severe methods of observation and reasoning which belong to modern science, have taken the place of vagile Speculations and unfounded hypotheses, and thus, in addi tion to our increased stock of knowledge, we are better disciplined for the investigation Of the individual cases which come before us, and for the solution Of the problems they present.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the development of medical science and technique from the 18th century onward, and its impact on medical practice. The author begins by introducing the state of medical knowledge in the late 18th century, before the scientific revolution that transformed our understanding of the human body and disease. Describing the gradual development of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, the author shows how these new sciences provided the foundation for more effective medical treatments. However, the author also explores the limitations of medical practice, arguing that while science has greatly improved our understanding of disease, it has not always led to corresponding improvements in treatment. The author concludes by discussing the changing role of the physician in the light of these developments, and the importance of realistic expectations about what medicine can and cannot achieve. Exploring the complex relationship between science and practice, this book provides a valuable and thought-provoking contribution to the history of medicine.
