Elements Of General Pathology PDF Download

Excerpt from Elements of General Pathology The classical work now first presented to the medical public in the form of a translation, can need no other recommendation to secure its cordial reception, than the name and reputation of its celebrated author. We may hazard an expression of surprise that it has so long remained unclothed with a garb, which would have introduced it more universally to the profession in this country. With precepts of inestimable value to the student, it combines a vast collection of details interesting to the practitioner. Whoever has followed the author in his clinical practice, and remarked his admirable qualities as a diagnostician of disease, his unfailing detection of the most obscure symptoms, his accurate prognosis, and remarkable skill in exhibiting and explaining cadaveric lesions, will readily discover, in the present work, the reflection of his practical labors. We trust that our task, by no means a light one, has been, at least, faithfully performed. The few additions, in the form of notes, relate chiefly to new discoveries in medical science, announced since the appearance of the last French edition, or to questions still undecided, and consequently open to remark.
