Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Diseases of the Stomach and Intestines
IN the nearly seven years since this work first appeared, the number of important papers published on the special group of subjects which it covers, has been enormous. The task of go ing through them all in order to bring the present edition up to date has been correspondingly great. Professor Stanley P. Black, of the University of California, has kindly consented to revise the chapters on the examination of the urine and feces, and his eminence as a pathologist is an assurance that it has been well done. To Dr. W. P. Millspaugh, lecturer on gastro intestinal diseases in the same institution, has been delegated the duty of reviewing thecountless books and papers which have appeared in various languages concerning ulcer, carci noma, etc., and his collaboration with me in revising the parts of this book relating thereto has been a most valued service. So great and life-saving have been the advances in the Surgery of the Stomach and Intestines, and in the closely allied subject of Intestinal Obstruction, that the revision of the chapters on these has been intrusted to an experienced and scholarly surgeon, Dr. James P. Mcreynolds, lately of Philadelphia, who has almost entirely rewritten a large part of them. Dr. F. M. Pottenger, the distinguished expert in tuberculosis, has generously placed at my disposal the large amount of interest ing clinical material in'his sanatorium for tuberculous cases at Monrovia, Cal. And Dr. J. E'. Pottenger, the pathologist of that institution, has kindly aided in collating for me the statistics of the same. Dr. F. E. Corey, of the Alhambra Sanatorium and Hospital, has rendered assistance in studying cases which have been under our joint care there. To all these gentlemen I return my grateful thanks.
