| {{anchor:s4}}Translator's Preface. {{anchor:s5}}- In the letter in which Dr. von Boenninghausen authorized the present English translation of his treatise on Hooping Cough, he says: "Although this professes to be a work on the homoeopathic treatment of <span grade2>Hooping Cough</span>, it would be a great mistake to suppose that its usefulness is restricted to cases of cough called by that name. {{anchor:s6}}Inasmuch as we, Homoeopathicians, treat <span grade2>concrete diseases</span> and not <span grade2>abstract names</span>, so it follows that a work on Hooping Cough may be equally available and useful as a guide in the treatment of any and every cough of a spasmodic nature, whether it receive the name of Hooping Cough or not.{{anchor:s7}}" And, in fact, scarcely a case of cough of any kind whatsoever has come under the care of the translator during the last three years, in prescribing for which he has not found it profitable to consult this valuable little treatise. | {{anchor:s4}}Translator's Preface. {{anchor:s5}}- In the letter in which Dr. von Boenninghausen authorized the present English translation of his treatise on Hooping Cough, he says: "Although this professes to be a work on the homoeopathic treatment of <span grade2>Hooping Cough</span>, it would be a great mistake to suppose that its usefulness is restricted to cases of cough called by that name. {{anchor:s6}}Inasmuch as we, Homoeopathicians, treat <span grade2>concrete diseases</span> and not <span grade2>abstract names</span>, so it follows that a work on Hooping Cough may be equally available and useful as a guide in the treatment of any and every cough of a spasmodic nature, whether it receive the name of Hooping Cough or not.{{anchor:s7}}" And, in fact, scarcely a case of cough of any kind whatsoever has come under the care of the translator during the last three years, in prescribing for which he has not found it profitable to consult this valuable little treatise. | ||
