Book Description

Excerpt from A Treatise on Venereal Diseases IN preparing the Treatise on Venereal Diseases. Of M. Vidal for the press, the American editor has aimed to furnish the reader not only with a faithful translation, but also with the views of some of the leading British and American practitioners. Messrs. Vidal and Ricord are both attached to the Hopital da Midi, the great venereal hospital of Paris, but in many respects the doctrines of our author are directly opposed to those of his distinguished rival. The annotations of the editor will be found to correspond, generally, with the views of the author, and he has been personally assured by many of the most prominent surgeons in Great Britain and this country of their cordial assent to the doctrines here inculcated. To Mr. Samuel A. Lane, of the Lock Hospital, London, and to Mr. Langston Parker the distinguished syphilographer of 'birming ham, he would return his warmest acknowledgments, as well as to Dr. Byrne of the Westmoreland Lock Hospital, Dublin, and to Messrs. Cusack, Porter, Adams, Egan, Fleming and Wilmot of that city, for their very polite attentions and for the communication of many valuable facts by which the object of his visit was greatly promoted.
