Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Index of Treatment by Various Writers And first, before beginning treatment, it is essential to have a plan, for plan less, indeterminate measures are not likely to be successful. The plan should be founded upon the indications for treatment - that is to say, with a view to the objects to be achieved, whether these be the cure of the disease or the mere alleviation of symptoms. It is well to remember, in this connection, the limitations of treatment, and not to attempt the impossible. One must always take care also to cut one's therapeutic coat according to one's cloth, and not to embark upon a plan of treat ment which the patient's circumstances or means will not enable him to carry out.
