Oxyuris Vermicularis (the Threadworm): A Treatise on the Parasite and the Disease in Children and Adults, Together with the Particulars of a Rapid, Harmless and Reliable Cure (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Oxyuris Vermicularis (the Threadworm): A Treatise on the Parasite and the Disease in Children and Adults, Together With the Particulars of a Rapid, Harmless and Reliable Cure When I definitely took up the study Of Medicine some twenty years ago, it was in the belief that I was to be initiated into the science Of Healing. Like many another student, I was soon to be disillusioned; and as I pursued my studies I became more and more dismayed at the confusion which prevailed in this branch Of learning, a confusion which, curiously enough, is countenanced by its professors. The medical curriculum was then, and is still, overburdened with a mass of extraneous matter. Smatterings Of Chemistry, Physics and Biology, much irrelevant Anatomy and Physi ology, vague speculations in Pathology, and an elaborate Materia Medica of no practical value absorb all the future physician's time, while little more than passing reference is made to Therapeutics, the science of healing, which should be, beyond question, the Alpha and Omega of all medical study and effort.
