A Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Children (Classic Reprint) Alfred Vogel

Publisher Marketing: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Children The favor with which my "Treatise on the Diseases of Children" has been received by my associates and students, its translation into all the principal languages of the civilized world, and the rapid consumption of the last edition, afford me sufficient assurance that it has been of some use to the profession. In this edition the chapters on Artificial Nutrition, on the Difficulties of Dentition, and on Nervous Diseases, have had considerable additions made to them. Especially has the question which is so important in the Paediatrics, concerning the presumed danger of transmitting tuberculosis from the cow to the child by means of the milk, been briefly but fairly discussed. In addition, new remedies, such as salicylic acid, apomorphine, eucalyptus, and their subcutaneous uses, have been mentioned in connection with various diseases, and their advantages and disadvantages in children's practice have been pointed out. In conclusion, I would remind the reader of the words of the Satyrs: "Sant bona, sunt quaedum mediocriae, sunt mala pluraQuae legis hie, aliter non fit avite liber."
