Excerpt from Twentieth Century Practice, Vol. 1 of 20: An International Encyclopedia of Modern Medical Science To those who realize the many and radical changes that have taken place in the healing art during the closing years of this century no apology is needed for the work here presented. Within but little over a decade -a new science has arisen and a new theory of infec tious diseases has been established, while the advances made in many other branches of internal medicine have been hardly less remark able. Indeed it is not too much to say that a new era has be gun, one in which the rational treatment of disease engages the best thought of the best workers, supplementing, while not supplant ing, the study of pathological anatomy by which the preceding era was characterized. The science of medicine has been in great part recast - the tithe is now ripe for it to be rewritten. To this end the co-operation of many recognized authorities in Europe and America has been secured, the results of whose labors will be presented in the successive volumes of this series. In arranging the order of subjects it has been thought best to re serve the consideration of infectious diseases for the later volumes, in the hope that by the time they are published a solution of some of the problems in the pathogenesis and therapy of these affections, as yet but partially worked out, will have been reached. While the published schema of the work will be as far as possible adhered to, circumstances may compel a rearrangement of the articles, or even a change in the order of publication of the volumes. Such changes will not, however, affect the completed work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
