The Retrospect Of Practical Medicine And Surgery Vol 38 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Retrospect of Practical Medicine and Surgery, Vol. 7: Being a Half-Yearly Journal Containing a Retrospective Way of Every Discovery and Practical Improvement in the Medical Sciences; January to July, 1843 As many may probably read the present Number of The Retrospect of Med icine and Surgery, who will not have the opportunity of seeing those prece ding, it may be as well, once more, briefly to state that the object of the work is to bring into one focus all the pithy materials of the numerous Medical J our nals now published omitting that matter, which, however interesting in many respects, is not of real and essential importance to the bed-side practitioner and truly practical man. There are so many Medical Journals published at the present time, and likely to be more, that it becomes absolutely necessary, if the active practitioner means to keep pace with the discoveries and improve ments continually being made, that he should possess some such work as this, which will present to him at one view, every few months, and at a compara tively small expense, a summary of the Most practical articles to be found scat tered in so numerous a list of periodicals. By this means, every practitioner may go on taking in the one or two Journals which he is accustomed to, and may at the same time have a condensed account of all the rest - curtailed ia deed considerably, but in fact giving every truly practical remark, and espe cially every really original observation and new mode of treatment: and those practitioners who do not take in any Medical Journal whatever, will now have the opportunity, in an easy and expeditious way, of making themselves as well acquainted with every necessary improvement, as those who read ever so much. The table will be spread ready for their repast, and the most practical matter will be brought before them ready digested, without the trouble of wading' through some twenty-five different Journals and Periodicals.
