Excerpt from A d104-Book of the Practice of Medicine, Vol. 1 For those who read German no introduction to Eichhorst's Practice of Medicine will be necessary; and it is hoped that this translation may prove not less useful than the original, and as popular. The text will be found at once concise and comprehensive, but additions and annotations have been made where it seemed they might be serviceable. The book differs somewhat from most other works on the practice of medicine in containing, among other things, appropriate sections devoted to a consideration of Diseases of the Skin, the Venereal Diseases, Impotence and Sterility in the Male, and Spermatorrhea. A number of illustrations have been added, in part replacing, in part supplementing, those in the original. The book has been written especially to meet the needs of the student, but it should prove useful also to the busy practitioner. For convenience of manipulation it has been deemed wise to present the work in two volumes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
