Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sajous's Analytical Cyclopaedia of Practical Medicine, Vol. 2 The majority of the sections included in the first volume, as stated in the preface of the latter, were prepared under the immediate supervision of the editor and submitted to the various members of the associate staff for revision and correction. Each associate enjoying the privilege of erasing, changing, and adding anything he chose, the correctness of the views advanced was insured, while the innovations as to form introduced by the editor could satisfactorily be carried into effect. The second volume inaugurates the regular plan of the work as regards elaboration: all the articles have been prepared by their respective editors, and the result shows the kind interest taken in the work by all the members of the staff, to whom the editor extends expressions of sincere gratitude. The aim of the editor is not only to facilitate the labor of the practicing physician and to assist investigators and authors in their researches, but he also seeks to elucidate, through contributions from men possessing special knowledge or unusual experience in a particular line, diseases which, owing to their complexity, are not generally understood. This plan has borne fruit, and the readers will have before them, in this volume, exceptionally-valuable articles on a number of exacting subjects, namely: "Cerebral Haemorrhage," by Dr. William Browning, of Brooklyn; "Cirrhosis of the Liver," by Professor Adami, of Montreal; "Cholera," by Professor Rubino, of Naples; "Cholelithiasis," by Professor Graham, of Toronto; "Diabetes," by Professor Lepine, of Lyons, etc. The better-known affections have also been edited by writers of special ability. Among the articles of this kind is that on "Diphtheria," by Drs. Northrup and Bovaird, of New York, who contribute a masterly review of our present knowledge of this affection from every stand-point. The papers by Professor Bondurant, of Mobile, on "Chorea"; Dr. Norman Kerr, of London, on "Cocaino-mania"; Dr. Oliver, of Philadelphia, on "Cataract"; Prof. Nathan S. Davis, of Chicago, on "Constipation"; Dr. Vickery, of Boston, on "Dilatation of the Heart," are, among others, particularly entitled to the readers' special attention. An infirmity but little studied by the general practitioner is "Deaf-mutism." A section giving an exhaustive review of the subject has been contributed by Dr. Holger Mygind, of Copenhagen, one of the greatest living authorities upon the pathogenesis of this condition.
