Excerpt from Homoeopathic Medical Practice: A Systematic Treatise on Diseases of the Brain and Eye; For the Use of General Practitioners and Students The present work, consisting of brief treatises on Diseases of the Brain and Eye, was originally designed to form the initial portion of a more general work on the Homœopathic Practice of Medicine. But as the Author's time is now so fully occupied by professional duties as to prevent its speedy completion, and as the parts are complete in themselves, and will make a convenient Manual on Diseases of the Brain and Eye, the publisher has decided to issue them as a distinct work. The portion relating to Ophthalmology having been published separately, the following remarks, taken from the Preface to that volume, will be equally applicable to this: Unfortunately, the science of which we treat is still regarded by many as too abstruse, and the practice of it too difficult, for the general profession, and hence it has been relegated, for the most part, to a comparatively small number of practitioners. We say unfortunately, because the vast majority of ophthalmic diseases are still treated, and of necessity always will be treated, by the ordinary medical attendant.
