ELECTROTYPED BY PRESS OF WESTCOTT & THOMSON, PHILADA. W. B. SAUNDERS & COMPANY. PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. NUMEROUS interpolations and the employment of about forty new illustrations have materially increased the size of the present edition, and have, it is hoped, also added to its usefulness. Alterations have been made in the original text to the extent that certain sections, notably that upon Diseases of the Septum, have been almost entirely rewritten. The section on Diphtheria was contributed by my assistant, Dr. M. P. Warmuth, who has had the advantage of five years as a resident physician of the Philadelphia Municipal Hospital, where, during his term of service, more than five thousand cases of diphtheria received treatment. The author wishes to express his appreciation of the assistance rendered by Dr. William Menah in arranging the Index. July, 1901. E. B. GLEASON. 5 |
