Excerpt from Diseases of Infants and Children This volume has been written by teachers who feel thfi contact with students has made them fairly familiar with their Probably the first requirement at present is to brin medicine into as compact a form as is consistent with a thorough presentation of the subject. Our aim has been to accomplish this with pediatrics. To many, the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of infants and children are most perplexing. These difficulties can only be overcome by first sharply differentiating the anatomical and physiological peculiarities of the infant and child, and then consider ing their practical bearings. The student must be familiarized with all the more recent tests, as well as the older practical bedside experience, in the study of disease. He will then, by a systematic examination of the patient, be able to make a scientific diagnosis. He must also be taught to treat rationally and with a distinct purpose in mind. We have aimed to present the subject in this way, and thus to make the work as practical as possible. The physician needs such a description of disease as he will actually encounter at the bedside. Where pictures can serve as a type, we have used illustrations, most of which are original. Theory and pathology have only been considered in so far as may be necessary to an understanding of the diagnosis, course and treatment of disease. We have tried to take a middle course between the compendium, which is usually unsatisfactory, and a too exhaust ive work, which, by dwelling overmuch on theory and exceptions, tends to confuse the reader. Our thanks are due to our hospital assistants, Drs. Dennett and Albee, for their help during the progress of the work. While a book of this sort must be indebted to all the workers in pediatrics, whom we have freely consulted, our personal experience at the Infants' and Children's Wards of the New York post-graduate Hospital, and in private practice, has formed the essential basis of our description of the diseases and their treatment.

Excerpt from The Diseases of Infants and Children A liberal amount of space is devoted to surgical atlee tions which may come under the notice of physicians in early stages and under the care of practitioners at all periods of their course. The knowledge of these diseases must be extensive enough to enable the practitioner to clearly understand the nature of the illness, to appreciate the best lines of treatment, and to recognise the conditions for which the aid of a surgeon should be invoked. Indeed, a year's experience as house surgeon is almost essential to the training of a physician. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from On the Wasting Diseases of Infants and Children As a result of the experience thus acquired, he offers the present volume as a contribution to the literature of the diseases of children, in the hope that it may be found of practical value in the treatment of this exceedingly common and fatal condition. In the chapter on pulmonary phthisis the Author has endea vored to utilize recent views on the nature of the phthisical process; but as his aim has been primarily to make his little book clinically useful, he has limited himself to matters of direct practical significance, and has indulged little in considerations of a purely speculative kind.
