The General Practitioner As A Specialist PDF Download

Excerpt from The General Practitioner as a Specialist: A Treatise Devoted to the Consideration of Medical Specialties The complete exhaustion of former editions of this work has rendered the publication of this, the Third edition, necessary. The sense of a well defined feeling of uncertainty present when, thirty months ago, the Second edition of several thousand copies, was launched into a comparatively unexplored sea, is at this time agreeably absent. The cordial reception extended former editions and the many letters of approbation and encouragement received, give instead the assurance of a continuation of good will and support. That this volume will merit the approval of those whose possession it may come, is my most sincere wish. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the extent of the work has been somewhat enlarged; new matte has been added and certain subjects have been more thoroughly considered. Several illustrations, reproduced from original photographs, are also a new feature. As many of the methods of treatment are to a certain extent, an evolution, developed to their present state of perfection by the combined efforts of several minds following the same course, proper credit cannot easily be given. I have, however, made an effort to give credit in the text for suggestions and assistance, wherever due. Should I have failed in this by oversight neglected one, or overlooked another, let him accept this, my expression of thanks cheerfully acknowledge.
