Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diphtheria The excellence of the series of monographs issued under the editorship of Professor Nothnagel has been recognized by all who are sufficiently familiar with German to read these works, and the series has found a not inconsiderable proportion of its distribution in this and other English-speaking countries. I have so often heard regret expressed by those whose lack of familiarity with German kept these works beyond their reach, that I was glad of the opportunity to assist in the bringing out of an English edition. It was especially gratifying to find that the prominent specialists who were invited to co-operate by editing separate volumes were as interested as myself in the matter of publication of an English edition. These editors have been requested to make such additions to the original articles as seem necessary to them to bring the articles fully up to date and at the same time to adapt them thoroughly to the American or English reader. The names of the editors alone suffice to assure the profession that in the additions there will be preserved the same high standard of excellence that has been so conspicuous a feature in the original German articles. In the present volume it has been necessary to substitute for one of the German articles (that on "Diphtheria") an article by an American writer, owing to an arrangement made by the German author to issue a translation of his article apart from this series. While I regretted the necessity of this change very much, I was gratified in securing the acceptance of the task of writing an entirely new article by Dr. William P. Northrup, and the readers of the volume will feel that the substitution has entailed no lass to them. With the exception of the article on "Diphtheria," the articles in this volume and in the remaining volumes of the series will be those of the original German edition.
