A Practical Treatise On The Diseases Peculiar To Women PDF Download

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Diseases Peculiar to Women: Illustrated by Cases, Derived From Hospital and Private Practice IT is now more than twenty years since my attention was particularly directed to the important branch of Medical Science which constitutes the subject of the following pages. During a great part of this period, Guy's Hospital, with its extensive Lying-in Charity, and my own private and consultation practice in fe male diseases, have afforded me opportunities falling to the lot of few practitioners. I do not, however, on this account urge any exclusive claim to the publi cation of a work of this kind, nor do I ask for its opi nions and practice any exclusive or undue deference; but I trust the truth of the principles, and the treat ment recommended in the book, will obtain for it the sanction and confidence of my professional brethren. The disposition to publish has been strengthened by an Opinion I have long entertained, that practitioners, who hold important public appointments, are bound, so far as their sources of authentic information can be made subservient, to improve and increase the com mon stock of professional knowledge. It may, too, be urged in favour of my attempt, that some production of the kind is really wanted; for, while we possess many valuable individual essays on female diseases, there are few complete and practical works.vfii preface.
