Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

In the preface to the second edition of this manual the author states that: the purpose of this book is to give in the smallest possible space the facts which a physician must know, with some of those which it is desirable that he should know, and a little of that which he may learn if his needs or inclinations lead him to go further. While nthe present edition this purpose has been kept in mind by the reviser, nevertheless it has been necessary to make many alterations in order to place the work abreast of the progress which has been made since the publication of the last edition. Some things which have become obsolete have been omitted, much that is new has been added, and the scope has been somewhat widened. Since the book is designed primarily for medical students, the method of expression, as in former editions, is often more definite than is perhaps justifiable, and it must be understood that this form is adopted merely in order to make a clear presentation of the subject, not that the matter is in every such case finally settled, nor that the views as stated are necessarily shared by the author or the reviser, but that they are held by those whose opinions are worthy of consideration, and are the interpretation of the results of painstaking investigation, but which, nevertheless, may be in time modified or abandoned as a result of further research. Those who are familiar with the former editions of the book will find that the arrangement of chapters is the same as heretofore.

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.
