Preface

In this book no attempt is made to add one more to the already numerous works for the dermatological specialist. Hence, little space is given to theoretical speculations upon pathology and etiology. It is hoped, however, that the medical student and practitioner will find, in the following pages, some return in practical value for the time spent in their perusal.

The author takes occasion to express his obligations for assistance to Dr. J. Williams Lord, his former chief, of clinic and present successor in the Chair of Dermatology in the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
