Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical News, Vol. 12: February, 1879 Ought this to be so? By no means. Our cardinal prin ciple in medicine should be to assist nature in recovery as fast as possible (for the term cure is inadmissible outside of surgery, if we seek to be literally correct); and, when this end can not be attained, we owe it to ourselves and our patients to mitigate suffering, or retard the progress of disease to the utmost extent within our power. Happily, there are some who act on this doctrine; and by their la bors we gain, from year to year, new knowledge of the sub ject, better appreciation of what needs to be done, and suggestions which are already yielding more satisfactory results in cephalalgic therapeusis.

Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical News, Vol. 12: October, 1879 A multiplicity of forms of treatment for any disease, or class of diseases, proves one of two things: either that the affection, or class, is readily cured by almost any treatment, or, in other words, has an intrinsic tendency to spontaneous recovery; or, secondly, it is of such a nature that our pathology and therapeutics are alike at fault, the diseased action baf ing all our research and treatment, so that practitioners seize with avidity upon any new plan offering the slightest prospect of improvement on, and greater success than, the old and tried methods. Of the eruptive affections, both facts are true. Some are so mild as to demand no interference whatever; others, at times, manifest an uncontrollable malignancy. Such being the case, no apology is necessary for my venturing a few sug gestions on the subject. In all diseases, when cure is impossible, mitigation may be attainable, or pain, at least, may be more or less com pletely allayed. If this be so, we are justified in attempt ing to better the condition of our patient; and more, it is imperatively our duty to do so. Again, where there is no special tendency to death, if we hold it in our power, either to abridge a disease, or lessen the agony of one which can not be cut short, it is only right for us to ao complish this. And I hold that the plan of procedure, herein advocated, will at least do so much, if, indeed, it does not save life, as I am personally convinced that it does.
