An Introduction to Dermatology

Abstract

A second edition appearing within a few months after the first should be sufficient evidence that the authors have been successful in gaging the need of a short and concise textbook in their chosen field. The purpose of this book has been to simplify dermatology for the student and practitioner by omission of much of the theoretical and controversial material that clogs the larger books. References have been omitted, but all the more important specialists who have contributed to the picture of present-day dermatology will be pleased to find their names mentioned in this volume and credit given for their work. The material is of course chiefly a condensation of the senior Dr. Sutton's popular textbook, but enough skill and judgment have been used in the selection of the material to give the impress of an original work. The authors are to be congratulated on the result.
