Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the practice of treating syphilis, arguing for a prolonged, small-dosage regimen of mercury to be adopted by all patients. The author, a 19th-century American physician, presents his clinical evidence for the efficacy and tonic effects of minute doses of mercury on the syphilitic body. He differentiates his work from contemporaries who believed mercury primarily acted to suppress symptoms rather than cure the disease, were skeptical of its tonic effects, and relied on larger, sporadic doses. He seeks to establish a reliable and patient-centric method for administering treatment and preventing relapse. The book highlights the value of ongoing empirical research in medicine, and argues for a rational and humane approach to the treatment of disease based on clinical observation. It demonstrates the ways in which the discovery of a drug's effects can be advanced through rigorous and attentive observation of patients over time.
