CURE Quote
The old idea of a cure in the sense that a disease can be driven out, as it were, by a certain drug or combination of drugs has gradually given way to another point of view. The care and treatment of the patient is directed chiefly towards preventing the disease from taking the next step, from either spreading or augmenting its poisonous action in the body.
— Smith, Theobald, Parasitism and Disease, 1934-
