Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hughes' Practice of Medicine: Including a Section on Mental Diseases, and One on Diseases of the Skin The tenth edition of this work underwent a thorough revision; the call for another edition now renders it possible to incorporate much new material as well as to make such changes as are necessitated by the advances of Medical Science. New articles will be found on Syphilis, Heart-Block, Kala-Azar, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Milk Sickness, Acute Febrile Jaundice, Erythremia, and Vincent's Angina. Important additions have been made to several chapters, among which may be mentioned the paragraphs on Blood-Pressure, the Color Index of the Blood, the Dietetic Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus, Lambert's Treatment of Narcotic Addiction, Coleman's High Calorie Diet in Typhoid and Other Fevers, Typhoid State, the Etiology of Typhus Fever, Russo's Test, the Vitamine Theory of Rickets, Schick's Reaction, MacEwen's Sign, Brudzinski's Sign, the Use of Vaccines, and the Period of Quarantine for Most of the Communicable Diseases. Some new prescriptions have been added, and a few of the old ones have been omitted. It has, again, been assumed that Diagnosis and Treatment are the main business of the practitioner, and that those who use this book are anxious to find out what is the matter with their patients, and then to alleviate or cure, as the case may be. It should also be borne in mind that, for the practitioner of today, the tried methods of yesterday are safer (and therefore better) than the theories of tomorrow: hence, anything that has not stood the test of time and criticism has found no place herein.
