Excerpt from Protozoa and Disease, Vol. 2: Comprising Sections on the Causation of Smallpox, Syphilis, and CancerAll who appreciate the importance of knowledge of the causes of disease, and who have watched the progress of pathology in recent years, must realize that the subject dealt with in the following pages is now of the highest importance in Medicine. It has been my aim to enable those who have not already done so to form an idea of this progress, by giving an outline of the work which has proved that protozoa are the cause of certain diseases.In addition to this I have recorded the present position of knowledge, including my own observations and views, in regard to three of the capital diseases of man - small-pox, syphilis, and sarcoma. In tracing this record I have tried to restrict myself to a purely objective view, and to make it quite clear where observa tion ends and interpretation begins.With regard to the descriptions of personal observations, I have done my best to make them re¿ect truly the facts of Nature to which they relate, and as to my interpretations, I may be permitted to say that during the past few years new facts have been established which harmonize with and support them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
