    REMARKS * ON > BURNS AND SCALDS, CHIEFLY IN REFERENCE TO THE PRINCIPLE OF TREATMENT AT THE TIME OF THEIR INFLICTION. SUGGESTED BY A PERUSAL OF THE LAST EDITION OF AN ESSAY ON BURNS, BY EDWARD KENTISH, M.D. IN WHICH The experience of “ the most orthodox in medicine and surgery” is asserted ; and the opinion “ diametrically opposite to the positive directions ofevery medical author, both ancient and modern,” is shewn to be formed upon an erroneous hypothesis. BY NODES DICKINSON, OF the royal college of surgeons; staff surgeon TO II. m. forces; member of the medical and chiruugical society, Ac. “ The assignment of a multiplicity of causes, to account for particular phenomena, always betokens a backward state of knowledge. The business of Science is to generalise facts, to class phenomena under distinct heads, and to shew their dependance upon a common principle or cause.” Motto—Kentish on Burns.
