Halaman 21 - Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
Halaman 76 - Its own means are superior to all the apparatus of your laboratories. Corvisart candidly agreed with me that all your filthy mixtures are good for nothing. Medicine is a collection of uncertain prescriptions, the results of which, taken collectively, are more fatal than useful to mankind. Water, air and cleanliness are the chief articles in my pharmacopoeia.
Halaman 6 - And I looked, and behold a pale horse : and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Halaman 102 - The science of medicine is a barbarous jargon, and the effects of our medicines on the human system, are in the highest degree uncertain ; except, indeed, that they have already destroyed more lives than war, pestilence and famine combined.
Halaman 99 - Any itinerant vender of any drug, nostrum, ointment, or appliance of any kind, intended for the treatment of disease or injury, or who shall, by writing or printing, or any other method, publicly profess to cure or treat diseases, injury, or deformity by any drug, nostrum, manipulation or other expedient, shall pay a license of one hundred dollars a month, to be collected in the usual way.
Halaman 106 - I declare as my conscientious conviction, founded on long experience and reflection, that if there were not a single physician, surgeon, man midwife, chemist, apothecary, druggist, nor drug on the face of the earth, there would be less sickness and less mortality than now prevail.
Halaman 76 - ... use a liberty of judging, he can only impose the task upon himself, without obtaining assistance from his fellows ; and if he could dispense with this, he will still find his industry and resolution a great hindrance to the raising of his fortune.
Halaman 73 - ... and they would irritate themselves until they got really sick, .but nature invariably came to the rescue, and all the persons in the third class got well.
Halaman 78 - The rich patient cures the poor physician much more often than the poor physician the rich patient ; and it is rather paradoxical, that the rapid recovery of the one usually depends upon the procrastinated disorder of the other. Some persons will tell you with an air of the miraculous, that they recovered although they were given over ; when they might with more reason have said, they recovered because they were given over.
Halaman 96 - To abandon usurped power, to renounce lucrative error, are sacrifices which the virtue of individuals has, on some occasions, offered to truth ; but from any society of men no such effort can be expected. The corruptions of a society recommended by common utility, and justified by universal practice, are viewed by its members without shame or horror ; and reformation never proceeds from themselves, but is always forced upon them by some foreign hand.
