Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.
A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allows you to underline, add code snippets, and change language keyboards.
Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. VisualEditor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.
Cite: The citation tool in VisualEditor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the VisualEditor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and just want to cite it again.
- Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.
Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.
Ω The final tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.
John Brown (doctor) proposed section
John Brown's theory focused on outside factors, which would excite the body and lead to different diseases and the presentation of various symptoms.[1] The stimulation was seen as excitability; hence the relation of Brunonian medicine and excitants. John Brown argued that any symptoms of disease or behavior which strayed from that of a healthy individual suggested over-excitement of the body.[1] For instance, even a person presenting as weak had been over-excited.[1] Brown described medicine as related to excitement and his medicine was seen as mechanical to certain individuals and dynamic to others.[2] For instance, Immanuel Kant perecieved the system as highly mechanical and related it to mathematics.[2] This system explained disease as the imbalance of excitants and could be quantified. Kant believed that this quantification could be used to explain the cause of disease and lead to medicine to cure or fix this imbalance.[2] On the other hand, avid follower in Germany Röschlaub perceived Brunonian medicine as an example of natural philosophy and as a changing theory.[2] He saw this practice of medicine as a way to explain relationships between nature and man.[2] This notion was rooted in pathology and relation of the outside world to man and his disease or illness.[2] In his work, Brown outlined and explained which excitants were good and bad for the body.[2] The Brunonian system of treatment was intended to outline specific treatments for symptoms and to simplify medicine.[3] This system was also simple enough that many physicians could practice according to Brunonianism, as it did not require extensive anatomical knowledge or association of specific outward symptoms with certain diseases.[3] Due to this simplicity, it became very popular in countries such as Germany, amongst other reasons. [3] Each disease and illness was simply related to over-excitement in the body. [3] John Brown's theory of medicine, known as Brunonian medicine, was also expanded in Germany by physicians.[1] At this time in Germany, many physicians were attempting to change and revamp the medical curriculum and theories.[1] Germany physicians wanted a system rooted in science which would give a scientific explanation to diseases, as the medical world began to emphasize science.[1] John Brown's theory explained the relationship between the outside world, causing excitement, and the body, which was stimulated from the world. John Brown's Elementa medicinae outline his theories on medicine, later called Brunonian medicine. Brown's work did notably well in Germany, first translated and published in German by Adam M. Weikard in 1795.[1] Weikard received a copy of the book from student Andreas Röschlaub who had received a copy from a visiting friend.[1] Other translations of Brown's work began to pop up around Germany, included an edition from Christof Pfaff in 1796, followed by another edition of this translated book in 1798.[1] Röschlaub, the student who had introduced Brown's work to the academic scene, later published his own translation and titled it as John Brown's sämtliche Werke.[1] Röschlaub, an avid follower of John Brown, also worked with Adalbert Marcus to create a new medical system, which they implemented in a hospital in Bamberg.[1] The new system was called Erregbarkeitshteorie concerning excitability and this system borrowed from Brown's system and the idea that excitement could be quantified.[1] The hospital in Bamberg, which became a hub for medicine, included the principles from Brown's theory and helped create a prestigious institute.[1] In time, however, there were arguments concerning the validity and accuracy of this system in Germany.[1] One critic of John Brown's theory was August von Kotzebue, who wrote plays to reflect his disdain for this theory of medicine.[1] In his plays he would portray Brunonianism and doctors who practiced this method in a negative light.[1] Magazines and newspapers in Germany also reflected varying ideas on John Brown's system, some positive and some negative and critical.[1] Röschalub's Magazin would support Brunonian medicine and promoted the system amidst criticisms from other publications at the time.[1] Discussion on John Brown began to cease after 1809 with the end of Röschalub's Magazin.[1] However, in the 1820s, Brunonian medicine was in the spotlight again as Broussais rose to fame.[1] Broussais, a French physician, was becoming very popular in the beginning of the 1820s and his medicinal theory was based on John Brown's own Brunonian medicine.[1] During a typhoid outbreak in 1813-1814 Brown's Brunonian medicine was referenced as Germans attempted to remedy the illness.[1] Brown had also become a famous historical figure in Germany by 1846, when Bernard Hirschel published a study on his sytem and the effects of Brunonian medicine. [1] However, Brunonianism began to decline as physicians did not believe is adequately provided a scientific explanation to diseases and illnesses.[1]
