Excerpt from Immunity and Specific Therapy
IN writing this book I have attempted to give a connected and symmetrical outline of the chief facts definitely known with regard to the method in which the body protects itself against infections, and of their applications in the diagnosis, prevention, and treat ment of disease. It is not written in support of the views of any, particular school of thought, and, when dealing with subjects still under discussion, I have tried to give a fair and impartial, though necessarily succinct, account of each of the rival theories. The factors in many of the problems of immunity are so complex, and our knowledge of the subject grows and alters so rapidly, that it is quite impossible to deal with it dogmatically at the present time. I have kept in view, as far as possible, the re quirements of the physician and surgeon who may require an epitome of the theoretical basis of the modern methods of diagnosis and treatment, now assuming so much importance, and of the student who desires a general survey of the subject before com mencing more advanced studies.
