Excerpt from The Therapeutics of Gynecology and Obstetrics: Comprising the Medical, Dietetic, and Hygienic Treatment of Diseases of Women, as Set Forth by Distinguished Contemporary Specialists The present volume is the third in the Series of "Modern Therapeutics," originally projected by the late Dr. George H. Napheys, but which his death prevented him from completing. The work has been finished under the able supervision of Dr. Wit. B. Atkinson, whose wide experience in this branch of professional study is a sufficient guarantee that it has been well done. The aim of the Series is to present the most modern and approved plans of treating the diseases considered, as set forth by the most eminent authorities, and specialists in this country and Europe. The word Theratpeutics is taken in its widest sense, including all efficient means of combatting disease, not only pharmacal, but hygienic, dietetic, climatic and specific as well. A number of authors are quoted, and their views accurately presented. When they differ, as is not infrequently the case, no magisterial attempt is made to decide which is in the right, as this difference of opinion is evidence that further observation and a very wide induction are demanded to reach a positive decision. It is better that such difference should be noted by practitioners, and that the circumstances of the case and its surroundings should be the guide to the selection of remedial measures. The "Resumes of Remedies," added to each disease, are intended to set forth, in alphabetical order, all the agents which have been recommended in its treatment by good, recent authorities. New methods and recent additions to the Materia Medica are given special attention, but only such admitted as appear to have solid evidence in their favor. Those of special value are marked with an asterisk. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
