Book Description

Excerpt from Variola, Vaccination, Varicella Cholera, Erysipelas, Whooping Cough, Hay Fever As editor, I would wish to explain that I am not responsible for the reformed spelling adopted in this volume. It was necessary that the series of volumes of the Encyclopedia should be uniform in this respect, and accordingly I cheerft acceded to the publishers' wishes in the matter. In bringing my editorial labors to a close, I desire to record my grateful sense of the consideration and courtesy with which on all occasions I have been treated by my colleague, Dr. Alfred Stengel, and by the publishers of this edition of Nothnagel's Encyclopedia of Practical Medicine. The work is a magnificent contribution to the literature of medicine. My earnest desire has been throughout that it should not suffer by the manner in which it has been done into English, or in which the translation has been edited.
