Excerpt from Dr. Todd and the Late Member for Ashton: Fatal Effect of the Stimulating Treatment of Disease: In a Letter to the Editor of the 'Medical Circular, ' February 29, 1860 I shall now, Sir, proceed to copy from my Medical Register the entries of each subsequent visit as they stand there in extenso and you will bear with my prolixity when you consider how important it is to the right judgment of the case, and its tragical termination, that none of its fea tures should be omitted, nor any circumstance suppressed. Two of the principal actors in the drama, alas have gone before me, who was their senior in age and in length of practice, though far below their elevated station in public estimation. One other medical witness alone is alive, and he will know whether my narrative is according to truth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
