Disease, A Part Of The Plan Of Creation: The Annual Discourse Before The Massachusetts Medical Society, May 31, 1865

By Benjamin Eddy Cotting

Book Overview

""Disease, A Part Of The Plan Of Creation"" is a book that contains the annual discourse delivered before the Massachusetts Medical Society on May 31, 1865 by Benjamin Eddy Cotting. The book explores the idea that disease is a natural part of the creation and that it serves a purpose in the grand scheme of things. Cotting argues that disease is not a punishment or a curse, but rather a necessary part of the balance of nature. He also discusses the role of doctors in treating and preventing disease, and the importance of a holistic approach to medicine that takes into account the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the patient. This book provides a fascinating insight into the medical beliefs and practices of the mid-19th century, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine or the philosophy of health and wellness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
