Excerpt from Archives of Dermatology, 1877, Vol. 3: A Quarterly Journal of Skin and Venereal Diseases A Special Journal, devoted to a branch of medicine which has been so much neglected as Dermatology by the profession at large, must create for itself a position, and command its own audience, which it must in a measure educate up to its standard; this of course refers only to the general practitioners, who have not devoted any Special thought or study to the branch. The aim of the archives OF dermatology has been to meet the wants Of the General Practitioner, and to serve as a means Of communication between the specialist, whose whole time and thought are devoted to Skin or Venereal Diseases, and those in gen eral practice, that the daily-gained experience Of the latter may reach the former. TO this end the Editor and staff have endeavored to include within its pages reference to everything which has been reported elsewhere in these departments during the year, in addi tion to the large amount of original matter which has filled more than one half of the Journal. Many Of the original articles have undoubtedly been very special in their character, and considerable of the matter digested from other journals has been purely scien tiho, but it must be borne in mind that it is impossible to render the entire subject of Dermatology clear and interesting to those unacquainted with more than its rudiments, and that the Archives is designed to serve as a compendium of knowledge in this branch for those engaged exclusively in it, as well as an assistant to the general practitioner in managing these diseases.
