The Destructive Art of Healing is a book written by Samuel Dickson and published in 1856. The book is a critical analysis of the medical profession and its practices during the mid-19th century. Dickson argues that the medical profession is focused on treating symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of disease, resulting in the overuse of harmful treatments such as bloodletting and the administration of toxic substances. The author also critiques the lack of scientific rigor in medicine and the tendency of physicians to rely on anecdotal evidence rather than empirical data. He advocates for a more holistic approach to health care that takes into account the patient's lifestyle, environment, and mental health. Throughout the book, Dickson draws on his own experiences as a physician and his observations of the medical profession in Europe and America. He also includes case studies of patients who have suffered harm from medical treatments. The Destructive Art of Healing is a thought-provoking critique of the medical profession during the mid-19th century and remains relevant to contemporary debates about the role of medicine in society.A Sequel To The Fallacies Of The Faculty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
