Practical Treatise On Medical Diagnosis For Students And Physicians Classic Reprint

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Medical Diagnosis for Students and Physicians IN the preface to the fifth edition, it was stated that the original purpose of the work was to make it an exponent of objective medicine and to point out the way to acquire precision in diagnosis. In revising the work of my father, Dr. J. H. Musser, I have carefully endeavored to keep this purpose before me, preserving the splendid store of clinical material in the book and bringing it abreast of our knowledge of today. While I have carefully retained the plan and methods pursued in preparing the last edition, the enormous advances in medical science during the past eight years made it imperative that the book should be practically rewritten. This necessity rendered it possible, by re arrangement and by judicious condensation, to make the present edition of a more convenient size, while it is believed that none of those factors to which the great popularity of the earlier editions was due, have been sacrificed.

Excerpt from Diseases of Children: A Practical Treatise on Diagnosis and Treatment for the Use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine In this volume the author has attempted to present to practitioners and students of medicine a practical clinical treatise on diseases of infants and children. He has but briefly outlined the pathological findings and has avoided unnecessary etiological discussions in order that he might, in a compact volume, find more space in which to clearly outline the differential diagnosis and give in full the treatment of these diseases.

Excerpt from Medical Diagnosis: A Manual for Students and Practitioners This little volume embodies the author's conception of the type of book most generally useful to the overtaxed student and general practitioner. And he has tried to make it a concise, practical, and thoroughly modern handbook of convenient size and form. It is not a mere compend, nor yet is it intended that it shall take the place of the many elaborate and valuable larger works relating to medical diagnosis. But it represents an effort to achieve the requisite completeness through direct state ment. Logical arrangement, and the avoidance of unproven or unessential theories and obsolete, time-consuming or superfluous methods. To the same end. Marginal notes and running page headlines supplement the full index. And the illustrations, small in size though large in number. Are believed to possess the virtues of simplicity and teaching value. The author hopes that he may have in some measure succeeded in meeting the exacting requirements of an undertaking, the difficulties of which are in inverse ratio to the size of the product.

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Diseases of the Skin, for the Use of Students and Practitioners The increasing recognition of the gravity of many cutaneous disorders and of the importance of their accurate study, is shown by the rapidly augmenting number of Observers in this depart ment of medicine and by the numerous valuable contributions constantly made to it, both in this country and abroad. For the convenience of the general practitioner it therefore becomes necessary at shortly recurring int-ervals that some one should attempt the task of presenting in a comprehensive form the results of the latest observation and experience. The author is aware of the degree to which he must claim indulgence in the present effort to'perform this duty. The extent of the subject and the limitations of a single volume, require the omission of much detail of secondary importance. With regard to that which it has seemed prope'r to include, he has endeavored to write concisely, to set forth only what can be held as the truth, to be frank in the admission of the Weak ness with which the most skilful physician stands in the pre sence of many grave and not a few benign disorders, and to cultivate a wholesome doubt of that which has not been shown to be worthy of trust. How far he may have fallen short of attaining this end these pages will declare. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
