Book excerpt: Excerpt from Of Nature and Art in the Cure of Disease It is true that, since the period referred to, great advances have been made in some important points of the history of diseases, as in their structural pathology or morbid anatomy, as well as in many of their physiological relations so that it must be admitted that well-informed practitioners of the present day, have a much deeper insight into the exact character of many of the diseases treated by them, than was possessed by their predecessors. It is very remarkable, however, that in regard to one most important part of the history of diseases, that, namely, of their natural course and event, infinitely less progress has been made insomuch that it may now be affirmed that the practitioners of the present day are, speaking generally, almost as uninformed in this particular as were their predecessors fifty or a hundred years back.
