Fat and Blood: An Essay on the Treatment of Certain Forms of Neurasthenia and Hysteria (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Fat and Blood: An Essay on the Treatment of Certain Forms of Neurasthenia and HysteriaThe continued favor which this book has enjoyed in Europe as well as in this country has rendered me doubly desirous to make it a thorough and clear statement of the treatment of the kind of cases which it discusses as carried out in my practice to-day.In the endeavor to do this, the present edition, like the last two, has been carefully revised by my son. Dr. John K. Mitchell, and there is no chapter, and scarcely a page, where some alteration or addition has not been made, besides those of the sixth and seventh editions, as the result of added years of experience. Especially in the chapters on the means of treatment some details have been thought worth adding to help the statement so often repeated in the book that success will depend on the care with which details are carried out.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
