Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Estivo Autumnal (Remittent): Malarial Fevers
The reason for the preparation of this volume is given in the introduction. It deals with a much-neglected subject in the text-books upon medicine, and one which is of the utmost im portance to the profession. It will be noticed that I have not considered the subject of hemoglobinuric fever at all. This is not an oversight on my part, but because I believe that in a work such as this the subject should be confined as much as possible. As the etiology of hemoglobinuric fever is still some what in doubt, and as there are many excellent treatises upon it, I have thought it best to ignore it entirely.
My gratitude is due the surgeon-general Of the Army for the Opportunities afforded me to study the malarial fevers. To Colonel A. A. Woodhull, Assistant surgeon-general of the Army, Colonel William C. Forwood, Assistant surgeon-general, United States Army, and to Major Charles Richard, Surgeon, United States Army, my thanks are due for encouragement and assistance.
