Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lang's German-English Dictionary of Terms Used in Medicine and the Allied Sciences
Especial care has been taken in the rendering of those diseases, symptoms, etc., to which in German personal names are applied; the use of such names on the Continent generally appears to be a somewhat random matter and, except in the case of medicaments, they seldom refer to the real discoverer. Finally, I have to acknowledge my indebtedness to two friends who have assisted me in the elucidation of technical terms belonging to special departments - Dr. Adam Breuer in Ophthalmology, and Mr. Douglas Crawford, of Liverpool, in Anatomy.
