Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
In translating this work of Professor Danysz from French into English, an attempt has been made to preserve carefully the original meaning. The original work contains much repetition arising from the desire to emphasize and elucidate the authors theories and deductions on the evolution of disease: the translation also contains repetition but the translator has taken the liberty of omitting sentences, paragraphs and, in certain instances, whole sections, in order to present the book to the American profession in a more readable form. In particular, the case reports in the second section of the second part have been greatly shortened and many have been omitted. In this book Professor Danysz has traced in a clear and logical manner the various stages in the development of acute infectious diseases; and proceeding along the same course, has developed an interesting theory of the evolution of chronic morbid states whose etiology and pathogenicity are today so little understood and whose treatment is therefore as difficult as it is unsatisfactory. The book should be of interest to those who recognize the importance of a comprehension of the principles underlying the study and treatment of disease. The translator wishes to thank Mr. G. S. S. Playfair for much valuable assistance in the translation. F. M. R.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
