    absorbent system, admirably adapted to fulfil the indications which I have endeavoured to establish, for the cure of fully-formed organic disease. Of course the practitioner will not neglect such other means as the progress, or other circum- stances of the case, either suggest or admit. Thus the advantages to be derived from change of climate, change of scene, and from regimen gene- rally, in the most comprehensive acceptation of the term, will not be overlooked or neglected. Such are the views which I have been led to adopt, with regard to the theory and treatment of organic disease. There are few who will dispute the imperfect state of medical knowledge upon this subject. Indeed, when the third stage has supervened, we can expect but little from medi- cine • but the more imperfect and deficient our experience, the more zealous and ardent should we be in our endeavours to overcome our igno- rance, and supply its place with useful practical knowledge.
