Professor of Practice in the Woman's Medical College of the New York Infirmary; Attend- WITH 75 ILLUSTRATIONS IN THE TEXT AND 22 FULL-PAGE COLORED PLATES. 181 1896 ΤΟ HORACE DENNETT AS A TOKEN OF RESPECT AND AFFECTION THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR 54005 PREFACE. IT has been the aim of the author to present in this manual the essential facts and principles of the practice of medicine in a concise and available form. It is hoped that the work will meet the requirements of those who heretofore have been obliged to resort to the larger works of reference with which medical literature is so well supplied. In the arrangement of the subject-matter the admirable classification of Osler has been adopted with but a few unimportant modifications. Acknowledgment of the author's indebtedness is hereby made to those writers from whose articles illustrations have been taken for use in this manual, credit in each case being given in the text. The author also desires to extend his thanks to Mr. Thomas F. Dagney, of Mr. Saunders' publication rooms, for the preparation of the index and for valuable suggestions of a varied character while the manual was going through the press. NOVEMBER, 1895. 5 |
