Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of the Principal Diseases of Females: Chiefly for the Use of Students If any apology be necessary for the publication of the following work, the author trusts that it will be found in the circumstance, that a treatise on the diseases of females, adapted equally for junior and senior students, is yet a desideratum in Our medical literature. Many valuable monographs we possess, and even volumes of admirable essays on this subject; but the former are so scattered as to be out of the reach of the greater number of students, and the latter so little elementary as to be unsuitable except for the more advanced. To meet these objections, it has been arranged, in the present volume, that the text shall contain an ample outline of the history, pathology, symptoms and treatment of the diseases, without any detail Of controversies or conflicting opinions, which are given in full in the notes appended to each page; so that the junior student, by confining his attention to the text, may acquire elementary information, which may be subsequently extended by consulting the notes and references. In the notes, likewise, will be found extracts from the various authors, wherever the support of their opinions seemed desirable. I have preferred giving their views in their own words as being less liable to be mistaken. Where extracts were not deemed advisable, references have been given, and considerable care has been taken to have them correct. Any remarkable and authentic cases, which bear upon the subject, have been inserted, for the double purpose of elucidation and description. Altogether it is earnestly hoped that the matter contained in the notes, as well as the text, may be found useful, and that by the division the progress of the student may be facilitated.
