Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Medical Dictionary: Including All the Words and Phrases Generally Used in Medicine, With Their Proper Pronunciation and Definitions Throughout the preparation of this Dictionary my work has been shaped to meet the following distinct purposes: - 1. To include those New Words and Phrases created during the past ten years - a period rich in coinages - which appeared destined to continuous usage. There are certainly thousands of these; and in their compilation I have especially endeavored to cover the latest results in the study of Bacteriology, Ptomaines and Leucomaines, Electro-therapeutics, Physiology, Pathology, and in the various special branches of medicine, such as Ophthalmology, Otology, Laryngology, Gynaecology, Antiseptic Surgery, etc. 2. To frame all Definitions by the direct aid of New, Standard and Authoritative d104-Books, instead of making a patchwork of mechanical copyings from older vocabularies. 3. To Omit Obsolete Words not pertinent to medicine, except in a remote or factitious sense, while neglecting nothing of positive value. 4. To make a volume that will answer the needs of the medical student and busy practitioner by its compactness and logicalness of arrangement, its conciseness of definitions, its elimination of the useless, and its convenience of size and price. It would not have been half the labor to make a volume double or treble the size of this one. I have to express my appreciation of the services rendered the work by Professor Jacques W. Redway, in the compilation of the departments of Chemistry, Materia Medica and Physical Science; by Professor A. P. Brubaker, with continuous advice and help; by Dr. Judson Daland, in unreservedly giving the results of long study and labor concerning the mineral springs of the United States; by Professor J. W. Holland, Dr. J. M. Keating, Professor Henry Leffmann and others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
