Diseases of Children
Designed for the Use of Students, and Practitioners of Medicine (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Diseases of Children: Designed for the Use of Students, and Practitioners of Medicine In recent years the profession has learned to appreciate the vital role the ductless glands are playing in the human economy, and the need for further scientific investigation. This subject therefore is treated broadly, laying particular stress upon the diseases of the thyroid, thymus and pituitary glands. The correlation of the disturbed functions of these glands to mental deficiencies is emphasized in another section of the book, when discussing the mental affections of infants and older children. A separate chapter is devoted to this greatly neglected subject.
The diseases of the lymphatics, the skin and bones are dwelt upon at length. Attention may here be directed to the article on malignant disease in children which is often overlooked in the early stages. Several vivid photographs and roentgenograms illuminate the text.
