Ulcer Of The Stomach Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Diseases of the Stomach The appearance in English of Professor Riegel's book will prove a satisfaction to the many who have awaited its publication, because the words are those of a master who spares neither time nor pains in per fecting his work. With characteristic absence of posing, in simple, strong, and dignified language, the author has presented his subject with such sincerity and clearness that his views will meet almost invariably with ready acceptance. It has been a pleasure to give the work the careful examination necessary, and to compare his statements with those in current literature. The text has required but few modifications and additions to make it thoroughly represent the thought of the year. This is so for the reason that, although many contributions have been pub lished since the appearance of the German edit-ion, some of these have been the thrashing out of old straw, and others have been anticipated by the far-sightedness of the author. To the subjects of periodic vomit ing in children, syphilis of the stomach, the etiology of gastric ulcer, the blood in ulcer and cancer, diet in hyperacidity, acute dilatation of the stomach, digestion leukocytosis, benign tumors of the stomach, achylia gastrica, hematemesis of hepatic cirrhosis, congenital stenosis of the pylorus, operative procedure in stomach diseases, and to a few others, some words have been added, but pains have been taken not to change the author's own statements. All new matter presented in the volume is included in brackets, so that the reader will have, as nearly as the translation will admit, the work of Riegel, with the additions of some views for which the editor is alone responsible. In conclusion, I desire to express my thanks to Professor Alfred Stengel, the editor-in-chief, for thoughtful suggestions, to the publishers for numerous courtesies, and to Dr. Allen A. Jones for assistance in proof-reading and other particulars. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
