Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical New, 1880, Vol. 13 At the outset, however, I can not but echo Andrew Clarke's just tribute to our author, for he is one from whom I have learned much; one whose acute powers of observation, whose largeness of experience, deserve the warmest gratitude of every student of pulmonary pathol ogy. We revere and honor Flint; therefore, we shall deal freely and directly with his conclusions. What is meant by self-limitation? So far as our argu ment is concerned, the definition given by Prof. Flint is well adapted. A disease is self-limited when it ends in recovery, irrespective of extrinsic influence derived from either hygiene or therapeutics.
