Excerpt from Diphtheria: Its Cause, Nature, and Treatment
In 1862, while engaged in an extended series of investigations of other pathological and aetiological questions, I fell upon evidences, satisfactory to my own mind, that the cause and nature of diphtheria differed most essentially, in many respects, from the teachings of the profession then, or, indeed, at any time since; and which, if true, demanded a radical Change of treat ment from what prevailed in either school then, or since, to better correspond with what appeared to be the truer nature of the disease.
During the three succeeding years, however, or from 1862 to 1865, and until I had secured all the evidence then to be obtained to sustain the new path ological and aetiological views, I did not feel justified in changing the method of treatment I had been taught and previously followed quite successfully in this malady. That method excluded local treatment of any and all kinds, and was in other respects what would generally be considered strictly Homoeopathic; but, aside from avoiding topical applications, it was not the practice taught by Hahnemann, which so many, even of our own school, affect to despise, or.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a complete reevaluation of diphtheria, a disease that has long been misunderstood. The author argues that diphtheria is not a vegetable fungus but rather a fibrinous exudation caused by an excess of fibrin in the blood. This excess fibrin is a result of the loss of albumen, a vital element of the blood, through the mucous membranes, especially in the throat and nose. The author provides ample evidence from various sources to support this claim, including the fact that diphtheria is more prevalent among those with weakened immune systems. The book also discusses the various complications of diphtheria, including thrombosis and heart clots, and presents a new and more effective treatment method based on the understanding of the disease as a fibrinous exudation. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, pathology, and treatment of diphtheria.
