Excerpt from Common Diseases of the Skin: With Notes of Diagnosis and TreatmentThe object of this small volume is to provide illustrations and a Short description of some of the commoner diseases of the Skin, with a few lines on differential diagnosis and methods of treatment. NO one appreciates better than the author that dermatology can only be properly taught from clinical material, but this is not always within reach of the student and illustra tions can in a measure replace it. The book is not intended to take the place of the larger works on dermatology, but the necessarily comprehensive nature of such works makes them at times a source of confusion to the student, whose lack of knowledge renders it difficult for him to identify one disease among the descriptions of a number of somewhat similar, but perhaps rare, ones. Graduates of the Faculty of Medicine of mcgill University will recognize that - the views enunciated closely follow the teaching of the former Professor Of Dermatology, Dr. Francis J. Shepherd, whose almost uncanny astuteness in diagnosis and simple methods of treatment the writer had the advantage of following for twenty years as his assistant in the Montreal General Hospital clinic. In choosing the diseases which Should be included in a work of this scope, the writer has based his selection on the statistics of the hospital clinic with which he is connected, thereby, possibly, admitting some not properly classed as common, because of the large proportion of aliens in his clientele.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
