PHILADELPHIA: P. BLAKISTON, SON & CO., No. 1012 WALNUT STREET. ΤΟ Professor Edward Henoch, OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BERLIN, MY BEST AND MOST ENTHUSIASTIC TEACHER IN PEDIATRICS, THIS COMPEND IS GRATEFULLY DEDICATED. Copyright, 1890, by P. BLAKISTON, SON & Co. 618.9 H2&c PREFACE. This little book is founded upon Dr. Ernst Kormann's excellent Compendium der Kinderkrankheiten," translated many years ago with the coöperation of Dr. E. J. Doering, while we were fellow students at the University of Berlin. This joint translation in time became the basis of an annual course of lectures delivered at the Chicago Medical College, and these lectures recondensed have furnished the material for this Compend. At this date it would be difficult, if not impossible, to state exactly how much credit should revert to Kormann, Bouchut, Baginsky, Steiner and others, who were all drawn upon freely in the preparation of these lectures, and in a work of this character, individual acknowledgment has not been attempted except in case of direct quotation. Unstinted assistance has been freely given by Dr. R. Engleman, and an invalid cousin, without whose aid the preparation of this work would have been impossible, with the cther demands of a professional life. M. P. H. V 83389 |
