Excerpt from Theory of Medical Science, the Doctrine of an Inherent Power in Medicine a Fallacy: The Ultimate Special Properties of Vitality and the Laws of Vital Force Constitute the Fundamental Basis of Medical, Philosophy and Science

IN the preparation of this volume, I have omitted many of the theoretical details belonging to the science, with the view only of pointing out our more important fallacies, and the recovery of the fundamental principles involved in a correct theory of medical science.

It is very important that the profession should have a reliable theory by which the problems of the science can be more satisfactorily explained, affording a better guide in the details of practice also that the non-professional should be sufficiently acquainted with the general princi ples of our profession to enable them to distinguish be tween quackery and rational practice.
