Excerpt from Treatise on Diseases of the Skin: For the Use of Advanced Students and Practitioners The other practical part of dermatology - treatment - has in the most important diseases been described more or less in detail, in some places, to those who are experienced, possibly to the point of tedious simplicity, but observation has taught me that student and practitioner should have pointed out not only what in a general way is to be prescribed, but, when possible, some definite directions as to selection and method. In addition to the remedies and methods used in my own practice, I have referred largely also to those employed and advised by others, the various standard treatises and contributions by other writers being frequently cited, not only, in fact, in this, but likewise in other divisions of this work.
