Excerpt from Diseases of Children: A Practical Treatise on Diagnosis and Treatment for the Use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine
In this volume the author has attempted to present to practitioners and students of medicine a practical clinical treatise on diseases of infants and children. He has but briefly outlined the pathological findings and has avoided unnecessary etiological discussions in order that he might, in a compact volume, find more space in which to clearly outline the differential diagnosis and give in full the treatment of these diseases.
The diseases of infancy and childhood differ very widely in their clinical manifestations and in the methods of their successful treatment from corresponding diseases in the adult; the reasons for this are physiological rather than pathological. The undeveloped organism of the child, because of its physiological peculiarities, reacts to the same pathological factors very differently from the completed and stable organism of the adult. For this reason the author has dwelt in detail on the physiological factors of disease in infancy and childhood, and has attempted to make practical application of these facts both in the prophylactic and curative treatment of these diseases.
