Excerpt from Jahr's Clinical Guide, or Pocket-Repertory for the Treatment of Acute and Chronic DiseasesAfter all, pathological symptoms do not amount to much, _pro vided we prescribe in accordance with the totality of the symp toms, for, by pursuing this course, we cannot fail to prescribe for the thing, even if the name be left out of consideration, and provided always that Schmnlein's classification of uterine, tes ticulur, thoracic and other kinds of epilepsy be correct. There is one work, however, which I regret not having had an oppor tunity of consulting previous to the publication of this Repertory, it is Hebra's work on Cutaneous Diseases. Hebra's system com bines practical advantages with great clearness and sirhplicity, whereas all other systems of cutaneous diseases are confused and without much practical value. Even as early as 1840, when'i first published my klinischen anweisungen in French, 1 ap plied myself to the study of the German, French and English systems of cutaneous diseases: but the more I advanced in my study, the more I became convinced that it would be impossible to offer an intelligible nomenclature of these diseases to German, French and English practitioners. My repertory or the cutaneous diseases will supply this deficiency as nearly as possible. This Repertory will contain a table exhibiting the chief names of all cutaneous diseases which have been adopted by our most distinguished pathologists, referring, moreover, to the sy nonymes of these names in other systems, and the symptoms in our Materia Medica which characterize the different diseases. This table will be as complete as possible, though it may not prove satisfactory to all.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
