About this work

Description

A brief history of the treatment of congestive heart disease from Roman times to the present, with particular reference to William Withering (1741-1799) and the therapeutic use - and abuse - of digitalis, both in cardiovascular and in general medicine. Rather uneven in quality, but the best parts well worth seeing.
