On The Wasting Diseases Of Infants And Children Classic Reprint

Excerpt from On the Wasting Diseases of Infants and Children The Author had not long begun the study of children's diseases before he found that even the best systematic treatises dealt but imperfectly with the clinical condition of chronic wasting, and did not consider together - in the way required for every-day use in practice - the various disorders to which it may be due.

Excerpt from Diseases of Infants and Children The repeated printings of this book have necessitated the making of new plates. This has given us an opportunity to thoroughly revise the text, bringing each section into accord with the advances which are constantly being made in this specialty. The section on Infant Feeding has been recast and new topics added, such as albumen-milk feeding; special diet lists for older children; and the action of catalyzers. In the Infectious Diseases the Schick and the luetin tests have been described. Mental tests especially adapted for the early months of life have been included, owing to the widespread interest in prophylactic pediatrics. Many of the photographs have been replaced with new ones when it was thought that such a change would further add to the value of the descriptive matter. By a change of type the rarer and the less important diseases have been differentiated, and the book thus made more practical for teaching purposes. It is hoped that the need for a work as compact as is consistent with thoroughness and completeness will insure the same kind reception which has thus far been accorded it by the profession. The unfailing courtesy and helpful suggestions of the publishers are hereby acknowledged with thanks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
