THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND THERAPEUTICAL 



ACTION OF ERGOT. Being the Joseph Mather Smith Prize Essay for 

 1881. By ETIENNE EVETZKY, M. D. 



i vol., 8vo. Limp cloth, $1.00. 



"In undertaking the present work my object was to present in a condensed manner all the 

 therapeutic possibilities of ergot. In a task of this nature, original research is out of the ques- 

 tion. No man's evidence is sufficient to establish the merits of a drug considered in the manner 

 indicated, and no one man's opportunities are sufficient to grasp the entire subject. Consequently 

 it remained to gather from .the volumes of past and current periodical literature the testimony of 

 the multitude of physicians that had been led to use ergot in different morbid conditions. I have 

 recorded everything that has come to my notice, I have grouped and classified the immense mate- 

 rial in our possession. In all cases in which the action of ergot could be explained, I have at- 

 tempted to do so, although this task is frequently difficult, if not impossible. . . . The reader will 

 see that ergot has been used in a large number of diseases ; some of these uses have little or no 

 practical value, yet it is very important to know them, as they serve to illustrate the therapeutic 

 properties of the drug. They have been brought to the notice of the reader without any com- 

 ments, but those that are essential and of the greatest practical importance have been dealt with 

 more fully. Among the latter may be mentioned the use of ergot in inflammation, aneurism, car- 

 diac diseases, the post-parturient state, uterine fibroid tumors, rheumatism, etc." From Preface.
