Diseases of Children
A Text-Book for the Use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Diseases of Children: A Text-Book for the Use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine Since the appearance of the first edition of this work a num ber of important discoveries have been made in the field of Pediatrics, and some significant changes have occurred in the views held at that time regarding the etiology and treatment of not a few of the commonest affections in childhood. Further more, it is but fair to say that the writer himself has felt the need for revising some of his views expressed in the former edition, for with riper years and larger experience he has learned the value of conservative methods, and has endeavored to replace the mere possibilities of therapeutics with clinical certainties.
The text has been entirely rewritten, and new matter has been added wherever it was found desirable to amplify any subject. The chapter upon Infant Feeding is practically new, and the aim has been to present in a concise and clear form the most acceptable and modern views upon this subject, which has of late years been made unnecessarily complicated. A chapter upon Diseases of the Ear, Nose and Throat has been added, and illustrations have been inserted wherever a picture or a diagram could be advantageously employed to elucidate the text.
I am again indebted to a number of my colleagues for valuable suggestions and friendly cc-operation, which, to my mind, is necessary in any work covering so broad a field as that of Pediatrics. Dr. Chas. M.' Thomas has kindly read the sections dealing with the diseases affecting the eyes, the ears.
