Excerpt from The Hom opathic Treatment of Surgical Diseases At the time this little book was projected, so far as my knowledge extended, there was not one line, outside of our periodical literature, that taught the application of our therapeutic principles to the treatment of so-called "Surgical Diseases." A work on this subject has been sorely needed, and our accumulated experience demands a gathering together of this scattered material. Having had some years ago a case to treat in which a fibroid growth was a prominent symptom, I sought the advice of men grown gray in the service. Heretofore there had been no hesitancy on my part in cutting out such symptoms, supposing them to be the disease in esse. Dr. Guernsey had opened my eyes a little, hence a desire to cure this case, which could not have been done by an operation. One of those to whom I applied for aid, said, "Treat your patient, never mind the tumor," a maxim but half comprehended at the time. Another said, "Cut it out;" I knew more myself. A third, "I know nothing about it;" just my condition. Being thrown thus upon my own resources, the case was studied, the patient cured, and the tumor disappeared. This case led to further study and experiment, the results of which are found in the following pages. The attention of the profession has been directed to this study more persistently of late years, but the present work is the first attempt at a systematic treatise, I believe.

When the author first attempted a systematic arrangement of this great study, but few in our profession were willing to concede the efficacy of medical treatment in surgical affections.
