Principles of Medical Treatment by George Cheever Shattuck is a comprehensive account of the most common ailments and diseases faced by man. As the author suggests, the intention of this work is not to stress on methods of curing medical problems but rather an attempt to identify common strands and principles of medical treatment for various diseases. The manner in which the details regarding each disease are provided is refreshing and easy to grasp for the reader. Shattuck has consciously kept the format straightforward and simple in order to allow the reader to gain maximum knowledge from this work.
Principles of Medical Treatment opens with cardiac ailments and from there moves on to various other types including nephritis, pulmonary tuberculosis, acute infections and the prescription and use of common and uncommon drugs. Shattuck identifies certain parameters for understanding principles of medical treatment which are common across different ailments. These include rest, suitable diet, simulation and regulation of mode of life among others.
Shattuck's work is exhaustive as it contains within it a note on almost all serious diseases that inflict human beings. The sections are written in such a manner that every aspect is summarized in easy points for the reader to recapitulate. The chapters on infectious diseases are worth mentioning to the reader as this text provides a detailed account of how and why such infections affect us and provides easy to follow remedies, precautions and cures for the same. While Principles of Medical Treatment is an important aid for students of medicine as well as practicing doctors the author ensures that it can be useful for the general reader too - although it must be noted that the book holds value as a historic document rather than an educational one, as the subject matter is often outdated by modern practice.
