Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sajous's Analytical Cyclopedia of Practical Medicine, Vol. 6 This volume is the last of the first series of the present work. That the promises enumerated in the first preface have been fulfilled can readily be ascertained by referring to the voluminous index given at the end of the present volume - a mass of literature probably never before brought together within the limits of six books. The work presents "all the general diseases usually described in text-books" and besides what progressive features the past decade has furnished. A number of subjects contain no excerpts from literature; in such instances the chief and department editors have found it more advantageous to incorporate the new ideas recently contributed by investigators within the text proper. In some, indeed, nothing but new facts could be introduced, so radically did the modem conception of the given subject differ from the older. On the other hand, some subjects could not be granted excerpt matter, because investigation had given them but little if any attention during the last decade, or because nothing new had been contributed. Surgical subjects have been given space corresponding with their practical importance. The aim has not been to repeat what any physician already has several times upon his shelves - the classic procedures incorporated in books on minor surgery and repeated in the larger works, such as ligations, amputations, resections, etc. - but under each surgical disease, the special procedure indicated, besides the mere mention of the necessity of such an operation as amputation, resection, etc., is also furnished when such a special procedure has been devised. The subject of "Obstetrics" is replete with subdivisions which are but seldom if ever modified and which represent the foundation of every accoucheurs education. All these have not been incorporated within the limits of the Cyclopaedia. The various articles given bear upon the subdivisions which are undergoing progressive change and are intended to convey views that are in keeping with progress elsewhere. As regards "Therapeutics," the subjects considered represent the remedies still more or less used, our text-books being replete with agents which may be said to be obsolete, from the fact that they have been replaced by others of far greater efficacy. The various specialties have received due attention, the aim being to furnish the general practitioner with a clear outline of the entire field of practical medicine. The editor thought it necessary, when he projected the work, to eliminate individual symptomatic manifestations as special subjects and to only consider these under the diseases of which they form part.
