Excerpt from Elements of Modern Medicine: Including Principles of Pathology, and Therapeutics, With Many Useful Memoranda and Valuable Tables for Reference
Tm: belief that a work of condensed form, embracing the most impor tant facts and observations which mark the progress of scientific and practical medicine, would be of valuable aid to medical students, as well as a useful book of reference for the general practitioner, has led to the appearance of this publication.
As indicated on the title-page, the work is elementary in character, and is not intended to supplant any of the many excellent and elaborate vol umes comprising the details of medicine. But it has been suggested that an abridged work, presenting the more advanced views of leading satheri ties throughout the world with reference to general pathology and thera peulica, considered in connection with certain other points of practical importance, if arranged for convenient and ready reference (and of suita ble form to be carried in the pocket), might prove of infinitely more value to a busy practitioner than many larger and more cumbrous volumes which fill the shelves of our libraries.
To meet this requirement, the main object of the author has been to collate from the transactions of learned medical societies, recent medical periodicals, monographs, and systematic treatises, the utterances of the most experienced representatives of modern medicine, so far as they re late to a knowledge of those general principles which may be considered indispensable to the proper investigation and treatment of disease.
