Instead of being as formerly blind wielders of heavy clubs that may cure the disease or kill the patient; or instead of being as at present judicious or injudicious bottle-holders, physicians at some future time will estimate exactly the effect of the increased or diminished action of any one force upon all the other forces concerned in the production of general or local disease; and by adding to the resistance of one or more forces, or by liberating more energy by means of the powers that are latent in food and medicine, they will restore that equilibrium of action in the body upon which our health depends. Those who wish for further information on the chemical actions of medicines will find it by the following references, for which I am indebted to Dr. Ludimar Hermann, of Berlin:— 1.
