Sinossi
Excerpt from Lectures on the Principles of Surgery
It is scarcely necessary to observe that causes differ greatly among themselves. It would be absurd to confound the principle of heat, the expansion of steam, and the machinery by which the power thus generated acts, as causes of the same kind. The remote and the proximate cause in such a case have no immediate relation, but are connected together by a number of intermediate circumstances which, like the steps of an argument, unite the conclusion to the premises. It is very necessary to bear this in mind in physiological reasoning, in consequence of our almost total ignorance of these intermediate links in the chain of causation. In the instance above adduced by the author, we have no knowledge of the mode in which the poison of a rabid animal, or the poison of syphilis, produce their efl'ects on the animal body nor how mercury and other medicines should tend to eradicate the latter from the constitution. We are unable in these cases to advance a step further than to perceive the necessity of absorption of the poison, after which all is conjecture. A full perception of the whole sequence of effects would doubtless at once discover the precise nature of the remedy, as well as the proper cases in which it should be administered.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the collected writings of well-respected surgeon John Hunter, comprising the results of his keen observations and extensive experience. Hunter aimed to explain the general principles of surgery, believing these fundamental concepts to be necessary guides to practice. The author intended to cover the most interesting parts of surgery, particularly subjects on which he had made many new and, he hoped, useful observations. Hunter also aimed to correct the errors of previous physiologists, who often attempted to explain vital actions using mechanical or chemical operations. Instead, the author contends that physiological actions should be understood as arising from the vital principle, a unique property of living matter that must be considered in any scientific exploration of life. This book presents a wealth of insights on surgery that will prove invaluable to both students and practitioners alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9780260273406_0
