Practical Observations: Showing That Mercury Is The Sole Cause Of What Are Termed Secondary Symptoms (1839)

Practical Observations: Showing That Mercury Is The Sole Cause Of What Are Termed Secondary Symptoms is a book written by Patrick J. Murphy and originally published in 1839. The book explores the use of mercury in medicine and argues that it is the sole cause of what are commonly referred to as secondary symptoms. Murphy provides practical observations and evidence to support his claim, drawing on his own experiences as a physician and surgeon. He discusses the effects of mercury on the human body, including its impact on the nervous system, and argues that it can lead to a range of symptoms and conditions. The book also includes suggestions for alternative treatments and remedies that can be used in place of mercury. Overall, Practical Observations is a pioneering work in the field of medical science and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine and the use of mercury in particular.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
