An American Text-Book of 

 APPLIED THERAPEUTICS. 



For the Use of Practitioners and Students. 



Edited by J. C. WILSON, M. D. 



Professor of the Practice of Medicine and Clinical Medicine in the Jefferson 



Medical College; Attending Physician to the Hospital of the 



Jefferson Medical College, to the German Hospital, and 



to the Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia. 



The arrangement of this volume has been based, so far as possible, 

 upon modern pathologic doctrines, beginning with the intoxications 

 and following with infections, diseases due to internal parasites, dis- 

 eases of undetermined origin, and finally the disorders of Ihe several 

 bodily systems — digestive, respiratory, circulatory, renal, nervous, and 

 cutaneous. It was thought proper to include also a consideration of 

 the disorders of pregnancy. 



The list of contributors comprises the names of many who have 

 acquired distinction as practitioners and teachers of practice, of clinical 

 medicine, and of the specialties.

The articles, with two exceptions, are the contributions of American 

 writers. Written from the standpoint of the practitioner, the aim of 

 the work is to facilitate the application of knowledge to the prevention, 

 the cure, and the alleviation of disease. The endeavor has been to 

 conform to the title of the book— Applied Therapeutics— to indicate 

 the course of treatment to be pursued at the bedside, rather than to 

 name a list of drugs that have been used at one time or another.
