Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Bacteriologic Study of the Diphtheroid Organisms With Special Reference to Hodgkin's Disease: Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Pure Science of Columbia University in the City of New York
Within the past few years the literature dealing with organisms of the diphtheria group have received many new contributions. It seems that most human and animal diseases of hitherto unknown etiology have been ascribed to some sort of diphtheroid organism. Whether or not these results will be confirmed has little bearing on the problem which confronts the systematic bacteriologist who finds himself hard put to it in attempting to classify the great number Of organisms which for no reason other than a slight resemblance to the diphtheria bacteria have been thrown haphazardly into a group of unknowns - the diphtheroids.
