Page 126 - All of our curative agents are poisons, and as a consequence, every dose diminishes the patient's vitality." Prof. Joseph M. Smith, MD, of the same school, says : "All medicines which enter, the circulation poison the blood in the same manner as do the poisons that produce disease.
Page 14 - For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Page 134 - We can hardly refuse our assent to the observations of the late Sir Gilbert Blane, that in many cases patients get well in spite of the means employed ; and sometimes when the practitioner fancies he has made a great cure, we may fairly assume the patient to have had a happy escape.
