Tresler asked at once. Then he regretted his question. "Wal," Joe drawled, without the least hesitation, "I'm figgerin' you oughter know by this time. Ther's things born to live on liquid, an' they've mostly growed tails. Guess I ain't growed that yet. Mebbe I'll git down at Doc. Osler's. An' I'll git on agin right ther'," he added, as an afterthought.
Studying the earliest printed medical works to catch the point of view of the men who were in the thick of the movement up to 1480 which may be taken to include the first quarter of a century of printing one gets a startling record. Ed. Ibid., p. 6. Osler's unfinished Illustrated Monograph on this subject is now being printed for the Society of which he was President. Ed.
He was reading Osler's Medicine, which had recently taken the place in the students' favour of Taylor's work, for many years the text-book most in use. Presently Mildred came in, rolling down her sleeves. Philip gave her a casual glance, but did not move; the occasion was curious, and he felt a little nervous.
Osler's threats of life or death had been exaggerated to help her carry her point, she knew, and, also, she fully realized that her father understood this was so. He was not the man to be scared of any bogey like that. Besides, his parting words, so gentle, so kindly; she had grown to distrust him most in his gentler moods. All that day, assisted by Joe, she watched at the sickbed.
Osler's latest and strongest utterances, his unqualified endorsement of natural methods of healing in the Encyclopedia Americana, quoted on page 154 of this volume. Nature Cure in Germany
Joe looked out over the market-place, he looked away at the distant hills, his eyes turned on Doc. Osler's house; he cleared his throat and screwed his face into the most weird shape. His eyes sought the door of the saloon and finally came back to Tresler. He swallowed two or three times, then suddenly thrust out his hand as though he were going to strike his benefactor.
Therefore, we claim that there is no necessity for the employment of poisonous drugs, serums and antitoxins for this purpose. Referring to the last two sentences of Dr. Osler's article, homeopaths have, as a matter of fact, lost less patients than allopaths. The effect of homeopathic medicine, moreover, is not altogether negative, as Dr. Osler implies.
Of his skill in differentiating the sundry "strains" of medicine, there is specific witness in each section. Osler's wide culture and control of the best available literature of his subject permitted him to range the ampler aether of Greek medicine or the earth-fettered schools of today with equal mastery; there is no quickset of pedantry between the author and the reader.
For most of them were illiterate, hard-living folk, rendered desperately serious in the struggle for existence. And back to this place Tresler came one day. He was a very different man now from what he had been on his first visit. He looked about him as he crossed the market-place. Quickly locating Doc. Osler's little house, he smiled to himself as he thought of the girl waiting for him there.
Osler's statements, made with due deliberation in a contribution to the ~Encyclopedia Americana,~ are certainly a frank declaration as to the uselessness of drug treatment, and on the other hand, an unqualified endorsement of natural methods of healing. But it seems to me that Dr. Osler pours out the baby with the bath water, as we say in German.
