Manual of Diseases of the Skin Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Manual of Diseases of the Skin

Embodying, as it does, the results of the long experience and accurate observations of M. Biett, so favorably known for his zeal and industry in the pursuit of this branch of our profession, and drawn up by pupils of this able teacher, who enjoyed the advantages of the same extensive field in which he himself studied, it may be safely recommended to both practitioners and students, as combining faithful and graphic descriptions of these diseases, and sound principles for their treatment.

Having myself adopted it as a text-book in the study of them at the Hospital of St. Louis (well known to be specially devoted to these dis eases in Paris), and having also since used it in several successive courses of lectures on the subject in this city, I need hardly say that I fully coincide with Dr. Burgess in his opinion as to its merits.

The present edition has been carefully compared with the original, and numerous omissions supplied of passages which the translator thought proper to omit, but which it is thought, both in justice to the authors and to render the work more complete, ought to be restored. Some errors also have been corrected, which doubtless escaped his observation.
