Book Description

Excerpt from The Fundamental Data of Modern Pathology: History, Criticisms, Comparisons, Applications This work was awarded the prize at the Fondazione Cagnola Competition, held in 1897, on the following theme proposed by the Royal Lombard Institute: "What influence has the doctrine of proliferation of the cells beyond the normal exercised on the pathology of man? What has that of the pathogenic microbes? Contrast the two doctrines with others older. The advantages of both in the treatment of human infirmities." Inasmuch as the manuscript was presented anonymously to the competition signed only with the above motto, Professor Monti, in order to maintain his incognito in the bibliographical references as well as in the text, was obliged to quote his own previous writings in the third person. In the following year (1898) the work was published at Turin, the author having made some additions to the manuscript so as to bring it up to date. For this translation Professor Monti has been good enough to write, at my suggestion, several supplementary pages on the origin of tumours, and on the recent very important and interesting discoveries in relation to malaria, which I have embodied in the respective articles.
