dc.descriptionThis item was featured in the Rare Book exhibition "From Hippocrates to Harrison". The exhibition commemorated 150 years of the Faculty of Medicine.en
dc.description.abstractThe Elements of Medicine sets out Brown's theory that life arises by the action of external "excitants" on tissues. Diseases were either "sthenic" or "asthenic" as the vital excitement increased or declined. The treatment is to stimulate the patient (with alcohol) or depress (with opium). The theory was widely accepted as a guide to management in the last quarter of the eighteenth century.en
