PHILOSOPHY

Calomel and blood- letting for example were two of the principal ones.

A larger or smaller dose of calomel greater or less quantity of bloodletting tliis blindly indiscriminate mode of treatment was regarded as orthodox for all common varieties of ailment.

And so his calomel- pill and his bloodletting lancet were carried everywhere with him by the doctor.

Nowadays all this is past in medical science.

As to the causes of disease we know that they are facts of nature various but distinguishable by diagnosis and research and more or less capo- ble of prevention or control or counter-action.
