Functional Pathology of Internal Diseases (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Functional Pathology of Internal Diseases<br><br>The present book deals with those changes in function that are pre sented by patients suffering from internal diseases. The rapid progress in this field and the fact that it has been attacked from so many points of view make its presentation by a single individual one of peculiar diffi culty. It is to be hoped however that a selection and discussion of topics by one whose primary interest lies in the clinic will prove of value to those who are also dealing with patients.<br><br>In order to make the presentation more brief and more readable his torical and controversial matter has in general been omitted and the author has often expressed an arbitrary Opinion on still debatable subjects. For more complete discussions the reader is referred to the larger monographs and reviews cited at the end of each chapter. In these summarized ac counts of the earlier literature will be found. Additional references mainly to recent literature have also been cited and for the benefit of those who do not read foreign languages preference has been given to articles that have appeared in English.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
