Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Diphtheria, Its Nature and Treatment: Varieties and Local Expressions
Nearly twenty years having elapsed since any English work has appeared on the subject of Diphtheria, and medical views as to the nature and treatment of the disease having undergone considerable development during that period, it has appeared to me that a short sketch of the affection, from one who has had consider able opportunities of studying it, might be of interest, and possibly of use, to the profession.
A malady which, under various names, has existed for so many thousand years, which has been so widely diffused, and which has caused such dire havoc, must always be of interest to the student of medicine.
