Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glandular Enlargement and Other Diseases of the Lymphatic SystemThis small volume makes no pretension to be an exhaustive treatise on the diseases of the Lymphatic System. Such a monograph would entail a review of practically the whole of medicine and surgery, there being few diseases in which the lymphatic system does not play some part.The subject has been considered from a practical and from a surgical standpoint, and its limitations have been defined by considering only those pathological conditions, in which affections of the lymphatic vessels or glands constitute the essential feature of the disease.For the illustrations I am personally largely responsible, but I have had valuable assistance from the Resident Staff at the Great Northern Hospital and at the Children's Hospital, Pad dingtou Green, who have very kindly taken photographs of cases for me. For the skiagram (fig. 2) I am indebted to my friend Mr. A. D. Reid. For the specimen from which the photo graph of the mesentery in the Status Lympha tious was taken I am indebted to my friend Mr. Gay French.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
