Excerpt from Diseases of the Skin I am indebted to many colleagues for valued suggestions and advice, and particularly to my friend, Dr. Charles J. White, of Boston, whose encouragement and example have been constant sources of inspiration during my entire dermatological career. Through the generosity of the publishers I have been enabled to add eighty new illustrations. The four hundred additional references to the literature have been carefully checked by Mrs. Rosa Hibbard, of the Kansas City Medical Library Club, and I believe will be found of value to research students and others who may desire to investigate exhaustively any particular subject.

Excerpt from On Diseases of the Skin As the cause of disease is naturally obscure, our appreciation of the nature of a cause must be greatly influenced by the theory of medicine, which has been impressed upon us in our early educa tion, or by the prevalent theory of the day. One theory that has been handed down to us from a very early age, is that of the ba mors which assumes that the majority of diseases originate in a morbid condition of the humors of the body, and especially of the blood. This is the foundation of the Humoral Pathology, and the disciples of this doctrine are the Humoralists. Humoralism was early adopted as an explanation of cutaneous disease; and the practice which has been founded upon that theory has been most successful in the treatment of these diseases. Theory assumes a morbid alteration of the blood; practice exerts all its powers to remove the offending constituents of the blood, to improve the condition of the blood; in fact, to purify the blood.

Excerpt from Manual of Diseases of the Skin Embodying, as it does, the results of the long experience and accurate observations of M. Biett, so favorably known for his zeal and industry in the pursuit of this branch of our profession, and drawn up by pupils of this able teacher, who enjoyed the advantages of the same extensive field in which he himself studied, it may be safely recommended to both practitioners and students, as combining faithful and graphic descriptions of these diseases, and sound principles for their treatment. Having myself adopted it as a text-book in the study of them at the Hospital of St. Louis (well known to be specially devoted to these dis eases in Paris), and having also since used it in several successive courses of lectures on the subject in this city, I need hardly say that I fully coincide with Dr. Burgess in his opinion as to its merits. The present edition has been carefully compared with the original, and numerous omissions supplied of passages which the translator thought proper to omit, but which it is thought, both in justice to the authors and to render the work more complete, ought to be restored. Some errors also have been corrected, which doubtless escaped his observation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from On Diseases of the Skin: A System of Cutaneous Medicine The skin, in its physiological and pathological relations to the general system, no less than in its individual structural derangements and morbid phenomena, must be regarded as an organ capable of exerting a considerable influence over the well-being of the animal economy and worthy of our closest and most earnest investigation and study. Its physiological relations are manifested in its sensibility and secreting capacity, its pathological relations in its sympathies and nutritive attributes; while its morbid phenomena are replete with signification and interest.

Excerpt from The Ready Reference Handbook of Diseases of the Skin The skin varies in thickness in different regions of the body from to 8 mm. It is composed of three distinct layers, namely: (1) the epidermis; (2) the derma, also named the cutis vera or corium; and (3) the subcuta neous connective tissue. At all the orifices of the body lined with mucous membrane, the latter and the skin merge into each other. The appendages of the skin are the hair, the nails, the sebaceous and the sweat glands. This complicated structure is supplied with bloodvessels, lymphatics, and nerves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Handbook of Diseases of the Skin: Illustrated In the present translation, it has been endeavored to condense the original as much as possible, without loss of clearness or the meaning of the authors, in order to be able to include the whole in one volume of convenient size. Its shape and general appearance have been made somewhat different from ordinary medical publications, to distinguish it as a book prepared expressly for presentation, and not as a commercial venture.

Excerpt from A Practical and Theoretical: Treatise on the Diseases of the Skin The regional system of classification, grounded on a distribution of skin diseases according to their locality, was not likely to find favour when these became better understood. Although commenced by no less an authority than Alibert, he was soon obliged to abandon it. Admitting the advantage of the situa tion of a cutaneous eruption, as assisting us often to arrive at a true diagnosis, its value is not so great that we can always rely upon it; much less can we found a system, which should take it exclusively for a base. For the third, or natural system, which claims for its foundation the anatomy of the skin, we are indebted to Mr. Erasmus Wilson. The several divisions and sub divisions which he has instituted are no doubt in the main correct. At the same time it may be a question, whether this plan is not liable to degenerate into an excess of detail, and lead to distinctions, which, while they scarcely allow of an accurate appreciation, are yet hardly avoided. Another point open to inquiry, and which meets us at the threshold of all classification of skin diseases, is the obscurity which envelopes their pathology; and until this point is satisfactorily cleared, no system of classification can be pronounced complete.
