Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annual and Analytical Cyclopædia of Practical Medicine, Vol. 4: Illustrated With Chromo-Lithographs Engravings and Maps The manner in which the members of the medical profession have received the previous volumes of the Annual and Analytical Cyclopædia of Practical Medicine has been so encouraging that it is with renewed pleasure that the editor places the fourth issue before his readers. The marked success implied has not only been due to the novel plan of the work, - a general article upon each disease, sustained by the salient points of the literature of the last ten years, - but also to the excellence of the general articles (presented in large type) written by the members of the associate stall. To all of these gentlemen the editor wishes, therefore, to renew his expressions of gratitude. It is with deep sorrow that the editor must record the death of his friend, Professor George H. Rohe, of Baltimore, who had been connected with the Annual since 1801. To enumerate his qualities would imply that he had faults. Those who knew him well could but conclude that if we were all of his kind the world would be one where generosity and affection would reign supreme. One of Dr. Rohe´s last contributions appears in this volume: a review on the subject of "Insanity," calculated to clearly define the practical aspect of the various mental disorders, not only for clinical purposes, but for the court-room. How thoroughly our departed friend has accomplished his task the reader will appreciate. It is in keeping with the sincerity of purpose that characterized him. This volume contains, besides the article on "Insanity," a timely paper on the "Diarrhoeal Diseases of Infants," by Professor Blackader, of Montreal. During the coming summer its great scientific value will doubtless be recognized. An elaborate paper on "Malarial Fevers," by Professor James C. Wilson and Dr. Thomas G. Ashton, will also, it is hoped, receive the great appreciation to which it is entitled. The article on "Locomotor Ataxia," by Dr. W. B. Pritchard, of New York; that on "Intubation," by Professor F. E. Waxham, of Chicago; and that on "Diseases of the Liver." by Professor Alexander McPhedran, of Toronto; that on "Meningitis," by Dr. Charles M. Huy, of Philadelphia, are also entitled to special notice as models of their kind. The editor must express his regret that through unavoidable circumstances he was obliged to write the article on "Leprosy" himself, and a: the last moment. Still, the fact that he has had the opportunity of seeing quite a number of cases during his travels and the important role played by the upper respiratory tract in the etiology of the disease lead him to hope that he may have treated the subject with a certain degree of competence.
