Présentation de l'éditeur

It has been my endeavor to embody in compact form the literature pertaining to the subject of hydro)hobia. The ueceasity of such a work has been long recognized in the Profession, and the growing interest among the laity leads me to believe that they will receive such a publication kindly. The bibliography of the subject is so extensive, covering so large a field of diverse languages, that few practitioners have the facilities of traversing it. In American literature there never has been published an exhaustive treatise upon the disease, scattering reports in medical journals, and occasional monographs, being the sum of all that has been written in the United States. To condense into convenient size the History of the disease, to stiite succinctly the various theories regarding it, and to give the latest views of its Morbid Anatomy and Treatment, has not been an easy task. The library of the Army Museum alone contains over three thousand monographs, treatises, and articles bearing upon it. Much that could have been written is unwritten, that the work might be kept within reasonable limits. I have preferred to keep the fiimiliar name, improper though it may be, hydrophobia, as referring to the distinctive disease as it appears in man, and have not discussed Rabies, or the disease as it is manifested in the other orders of the animal kingdom.
