Book Description

Excerpt from A Text-Book Upon the Pathogenic Bacteria and Protozoa: For Students of Medicine and Physicians What can be said that has not been said seven times already? Probably very little about the book; certainly very much about the feelings of the author. He desires to express to those who have already made acquaintance with the book, and may with friendly feelings look into its new edition, his sincere satisfaction and appreciation of the hearty receptions that have been accorded his previous attempts. He also desires to thank his reviewers for some helpful criticisms. So numerous are the additions, subtractions and alterations to which the seventh edition was submitted in the preparation of this Eighth Edition, that it might almost be said that the text had been rewritten. Indeed they were such that the type of the entire book has been reset. It now appear with slightly larger pages; in two sizes of type, and gives a general effect of contraction, though there is really an expansion of matter that would have covered more than fifty of the old-size pages. The Pathogenic Bacteria and Protozoa is a medical work. It is hoped that it shall be found helpful to medical workers students and practitioners of every class.
