Excerpt from A Manual of Immunity for Students and PractitionersOwing largely to the almost wanton introduction of new terms, the science of Immunity has acquired an aspect Of complexity which may well suffice to scare the busy general practitioner from any attempt to study the subject. This is surely a misfortune. The day has gone by when the things of Immunity could be entirely relegated to the laboratory. During the last twenty years, this science has been the most living branch of Medicine, and in these days of Sero-diag nosis and Vaccine and Serum Therapy, it is obvious that the physician can no longer be a mildly interested on-looker.The doctor who has to inject a vaccine or an anti toxin, or who has to communicate to his patient the significance of a positive Widal or a positive Wasser mann reaction, must either equip himself with a knowledge Of the fundamental facts Of Immunity, or be forced into the position of a passive transmitter of ideas which are entirely beyond his grasp.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
