Excerpt from Manual of Diseases of Children
This small work was originally undertaken to supply what was felt to be a want in medical literature. It was intended as an introduction to the study of chil dren's diseases. For various reasons the issue of a new edition has been greatly delayed. It was under consideration, in fact, when the war broke out, but it was then thought better to defer the publication.
In this edition there are many changes, especially in the earlier chapters, and, it is hoped, improvements. The entire text, however, has been thoroughly revised. Dogmatic statements have been for the most part eliminated, not because the author has changed his views, but rather because such statements are apt to be unkindly received by those who have not made a special study of the conditions to which they refer. As a matter of fact, in connection with children's diseases, as with adult affections, statements are handed on from author to author without any attempt being made to verify or refute them by personal ob servation and investigation. There are many diseases of infants and children which remain obscure simply because little or no attempt has been made to examine them thoroughly.
