Excerpt from Text-Book on Diseases of the HeartIt has been the endeavour of the writer to give in this book an accurate account of the clinical aspect of heart diseases, along with a description of the principles of the treatment of the disease. With regard to the former object, it is claimed that the account given is drawn "from life, " and that the influence of "authority" has been excluded as much as possible. With regard to the latter object, it is claimed that the statements made do not go beyond the facts of actual experience at the bedside.The book is published at a time when there is immediate prospect of a great advance in our knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the heart, which promises to lead to much improvement in the application of available remedies. That there has been such advance is the result of laborious investigations of scientists and clinicists alike, among whom may be mentioned Keith, Gaskell, and especially Mackenzie and Wenckebach.Thus it became necessary to indicate, in the text, the lines along which knowledge has recently progressed, and is likely in the future to progress, and the work of Mackenzie and Wenckebach has been specially drawn upon for the purpose.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
