Diseases of the veins - J. Compton Burnett

This book deals specifically with diseases and disorders of the veins such as varicocele, varicose veins and haemorrhoids (piles). The book is divided into two parts -- the first being case examples from Dr Burnett's own practice explaining how he has cured these diseases and the second part being a specific Materia Medica for the treatment of the diseases of rhe veins. First, we deal with the obstruction where such exists, and in these cases haemorrhage is an unusual occurrence. Secondly, we proceed to cure the blood diseases where such exist, and here haemorrhages are common and often severe; when these blood diseases are cured the haemorrhages cease, and then the vein medicines proper and the anti-traumatics come into play. The Second Part contains indications for about 50 Homoeopathic remedies likely to be useful in varicose conditions.
