Excerpt from Common Diseases of the Skin: With Notes of Diagnosis and Treatment The object of this small volume is to provide illustrations and a Short description of some of the commoner diseases of the Skin, with a few lines on differential diagnosis and methods of treatment. NO one appreciates better than the author that dermatology can only be properly taught from clinical material, but this is not always within reach of the student and illustra tions can in a measure replace it. The book is not intended to take the place of the larger works on dermatology, but the necessarily comprehensive nature of such works makes them at times a source of confusion to the student, whose lack of knowledge renders it difficult for him to identify one disease among the descriptions of a number of somewhat similar, but perhaps rare, ones. Graduates of the Faculty of Medicine of mcgill University will recognize that - the views enunciated closely follow the teaching of the former Professor Of Dermatology, Dr. Francis J. Shepherd, whose almost uncanny astuteness in diagnosis and simple methods of treatment the writer had the advantage of following for twenty years as his assistant in the Montreal General Hospital clinic. In choosing the diseases which Should be included in a work of this scope, the writer has based his selection on the statistics of the hospital clinic with which he is connected, thereby, possibly, admitting some not properly classed as common, because of the large proportion of aliens in his clientele.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Diseases of the Skin: With Special Reference to Their Diagnosis and Treatment, Including an Analysis of 11, 000 Consecutive Cases In my endeavor to keep the book within reasonable limits, I have abstained from entering upon the structure of the skin in a state of health, which can be studied in most works on anatomy, and, partly for the same reason, I have in many instances touched but lightly upon the anatomical lesions, while fully discussing them in those cases in which their study has yielded practical results. But, with all its imperfections, I would fain hope that it will, in some measure at least, supply to the student and to the practitioner a reliable guide to the diagnosis and treatment of a most important branch of medicine.

Excerpt from Skin Diseases: Their Description, Pathology, Diagnosis, and Treatment The undeniable want of such a work in this country is, I think, sufficient apology for offering this edition to the profession. I know of no work on Dermatology in our language that combines so completely the results of a thorough knowledge of the pathology of skin diseases, such sound clinical observation, and so rational a system in the application of therapeutics. The attractive manner in which the book is written will, I feel assured be the means of conveying a better knowledge of a large class of interesting diseases which have not in this country, until recently, received the attention which their character and importance deserve. The book is a good one; so good that I have refrained from tres passing on its pages or the patience of the reader with many notes and additions.
