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 medical book written by Patrick J. Murphy and first published in 1839. The book argues that the use of mercury in medical treatments is the sole cause of secondary symptoms, or symptoms that arise after the primary disease has been treated. Murphy presents a series of case studies and observations to support his argument, drawing on his own experiences as a physician. The book provides a detailed analysis of the effects of mercury on the human body, and argues that its use should be avoided in medical treatments. The book was a controversial publication at the time of its release, but has since become an important historical document in the field of medicine. It is recommended for anyone interested in the history of medicine and the use of mercury in medical treatments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
