Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Diseases of Infancy and Childhood: Designed for the Use Fo Students and Practitioners of Medicine
During the past decade scientific research in medicine has been especially active in the domain of Pediatrics. The literature of the subject has grown luxuriantly on both sides of the Atlantic. Much of it exists in monographs and special papers, and is thus scattered and inaccessible by those conversant with the English language alone. The time, therefore, seems opportune for a work which should eu deavor to gather and unity the world's best practice in a systematic and convenient volume.
In the following pages, accordingly, American, English, French, German and Italian pediatric science is fully represented. The work is, however, not in any sense a compilation. It is based upon the author's individual experience and his careful judgment regard ing the work of other pediatrists. He has endeavored to spare his readers the labor of deciding between divergent views, and has adhered to his purpose of affording the physicians and students of his own country a practical guide and text-book.
