Book Description
Excerpt from The Medical Tribune, 1882, Vol. 4: A Monthly Journal Devoted to Medicine, Surgery, and the Collateral Sciences The argument that such a practice would interfere with the sanctity of life seems to me groundless. It seems the veriest nonsense to speak of a life as sacred' that has become an intolerable burden to the possessor, a piteous and. Oftentimes repulsive spectacle to friends, and a blank in the community. If the word sacred' as related to life means anything, it means the obligation laid on each one of us to devote it to noble uses while we possess it. The truth is: death is as much in the order of nature as life, but some of her methods of killing are more cruel than has ever been devised by the wit of man. It becomes our duty then, to correct those methods as we do other portentous evils that exist in nature. Another objection that can be offered by the opponents of euthan asia is, that there might be an abuse of the practice. Cruel and designing persons might take advantage of it to rid themselves of troublesome invalids. In short it would leave a way Open for legalized murder. It appears to me the law might be so hedged about with precautions and limitations as to render the chances of a violation of it almost nil. But grant the possibility of it being perverted to base purposes, would it be an exception to other laws wise and good in themselves? If we rejected all reforms which might lead to contingent and remote evils no progress would be made. A Chinese wall would be erected at the threshold of every advance movement. And stagnation would be the result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Medical Tribune, 1890, Vol. 6: A Monthly Magazine Strict attention to this method of treatment, although a long time is often required, will so improve the condition of the patient as to arrest the inflammatory action and relieve the pain or pressure over the affected part. If the patient is now allowed to assume the erect position, and should walk about, the weight of the body above the seat of the disease will either reproduce the inflammation or cause absorption of the bodies of the vertebrae and consequent deformity. To prevent this some mechanical support is necessary to keep this weight off the diseased bones and to retain the body in a natural position.

Book Description
Wilder is best known for his philosophic writings and as Editor of H. P. Blavatsky's "Isis Unveiled," but he was also one of the best known Physicians of his time, having been an instructor in Medicine and Psychology at three colleges, Editor of at least 3 Medical Journals, and author of the 900 pp. "History of Medicine." He'd be regarded as an Holistic practitioner today, believing that medicine must regard the whole of human nature and not just the body. This volume contains 35 articles of Wilder's related to the holistic practice of medicine and psychology and the balance of articles including a long pamphlet on Neoplatonism and Alchemy, historical biographies, an Addendum of biographical material, and Index.
