EXTRACT FROM PREFACE. 



The increasing recognition of the gravity of many cutaneous disorders and of the im- 

 portance of their accurate study, is shown by the rapidly augmenting number of 

 observers in this department of medicine and by the numerous and valuable contribu- 

 tions constantly made to it both in this country and abroad. For the convenience of the 

 general practitioner it therefore becomes necessary at shortly-recurring intervals that some 

 one should attempt the task of presenting in a comprehensive form the results of the latest 

 observation and experience. The author is aware of the extent to which he must claim 

 indulgence in the present effort to perform this duty. The extent of the subject and the 

 limitations of a single volume require the omission of much detail of secondary importance. 

 With regard to that which it has seemed proper to include he has endeavored to write con- 

 cisely, to set forth only what can be held as the truth, to be frank in the admission of the 

 weakness with which the most skilful physician stands in the presence of many grave and 

 not a few benign disorders, and to cultivate a wholesome doubt of that which has not 

 been shown to be worthy of 1 rust.

 the most intelligent and enthusiastic representa- his task with painstaking fidelity and with a cred-

 careful, conscientious and original observer. The and comprehensive work upon this special subject, 

 remarkable advances made m our knowledge of exposing the etiology, symptomatology and treat- 

 diseases of the skin, especially from the stand- | me nt of diseases of the skin in a concise and 



point of pathological histology and improved 

 methods of treatment, necessitate a revision of 

 the older textbooks at short intervals in order to

 the student and practitioner, containing all the

 march of science. This last contribution of Dr. ; author to make the general practitioner thor-
