A Discourse On Self-Limited Diseases (1835)

""A Discourse On Self-Limited Diseases"" is a medical book written by Jacob Bigelow in 1835. The book discusses the concept of self-limited diseases, which are illnesses that will eventually resolve on their own without medical intervention. Bigelow argues that doctors should not intervene in these cases, as they can actually prolong the illness and cause more harm than good. He also discusses the importance of observation and careful monitoring of patients with self-limited diseases, in order to ensure that the illness does not progress into a more serious condition. The book is written in a clear and concise style, and includes numerous case studies and examples to illustrate Bigelow's points. Overall, ""A Discourse On Self-Limited Diseases"" is an important work in the history of medicine, and continues to be studied and referenced by medical professionals today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
