520    "The purpose of this work is, of necessity, imperfectly 
       represented by its title-page. No sentence of moderate 
       length would have expressed the whole scope of the 
       inquiry; a few prefatory words are therefore particularly 
       needed, in order that the reader may appreciate the 
       objects aimed at. These objects are two-to destroy and to 
       reconstruct; or rather to show, in some degree, how 
       reconstruction may be possible in the future. The 
       historical chapter on the origin of the doctrine of 
       stimulus makes no attempt at an exhaustive treatment of 
       its subject, my only aim being to prove clearly that the 
       source of the Vitalistic notions on which our 
       classification of remedies is based is to be found in 
       certain metaphysical theories. The dynamical terms which 
       many modern writers employ ought not to be permitted to 
       deceive us; they are, in fact, but the artificial clothing
       of a mode of research which is unconsciously but purely 
       metaphysical, and, as such, extremely unfitted for. the 
       purposes of the physiologist or the physician. It is the 
       mixture of a phraseology based on this kind of speculation
       with a perfectly skeptical empiricism in practice, which 
       has brought the science of therapeutics into the 
       extraordinary state of confusion in which we see it at the
       present day. It is the profound conviction that a complete
       review of our principles of classification is necessary, 
       if experimental inquiry is to bring us any advantage, 
       which has induced me to write the first two hundred and 
       forty pages of the present volume"--Preface. (PsycINFO
