Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diseases of the Intestines It affords me great pleasure to make a few introductory remarks to this translation of my recently published Diagnostik und Therapie der Darmkrankheiten. When the present book was written, the interest of the profession in the pathology of the alimentary tract had already become very great. Owing to the ease with which diseases of the oesophagus and stomach could be investigated, these had been extensively studied. Because of their inaccessibility and the difficulty of judging the effect of treatment, our knowledge of affections of the intestine (exclusive, perhaps, of the rectum) was still very meagre. Notwithstanding that the classical publications of Woodward and Nothnagel, and the studies in ptomainology and the pathology of metabolism have done much to further our knowledge of intestinal diseases, we have advanced but little since the days of Henoch, Bamberger, von Leube, and their contemporaries. Internal medicine must acknowledge a debt of gratitude to surgery, for the surgeon has contributed most to the progress that has been made. Our knowledge of appendicitis, intestinal obstruction and stenosis, and benign and malignant tumours has been greatly enriched by the results obtained from surgical treatment, and this progress is still going on. It is universally conceded that the American profession has contributed much toward this end, and in many parts of this work I have acknowledged this indebtedness. Numerous references to American authors will be found throughout the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
