Excerpt from The Evolution of Disease: With a Discussion of the Immune Reactions Occuring in Infectious and Non-Infectious Diseases; A Theory of Immunity, of Anaphylaxis and of Antianaphylaxis
In translating this work of Professor Danysz from French into English, an attempt has been made to preserve carefully the original meaning. The original work contains much repetition arising from the desire to emphasize and elucidate the author"s theories and deductions on the evolution of disease: the translation also contains repetition but the translator has taken the liberty of omitting sentences, paragraphs and, in certain instances, whole sections, in order to present the book to the American profession in a more readable form. In particular, the case reports in the second section of the second part have been greatly shortened and many have been omitted.
In this book Professor Danysz has traced in a clear and logical manner the various stages in the development of acute infectious diseases; and proceeding along the same course, has developed an interesting theory of the evolution of chronic morbid states whose etiology and pathogenicity are today so little understood and whose treatment is therefore as difficult as it is unsatisfactory.
The book should be of interest to those who recognize the importance of a comprehension of the principles underlying the study and treatment of disease.
The translator wishes to thank Mr. G. S. S. Playfair for much valuable assistance in the translation.
