Not illustrated. 1832 edition. Excerpt: ... 193 with some, but he thought there were some of the profession honorable enough not to do it.

He acknowledged there was no art or science so uncultivated as that of meicine. I stated to him pretty fully my opinion of the absurdity of bleeding to cure disease; and pointed out its inconsistency, in as much as the same method was made use of to cure a sick man as to kill a well beast.
