Book Description
The publication of this volume was suggested by the astonishing ignorance displayed and the antiquated ideas entertained upon questions of health and disease by most persons with whom I came in professional contact, even by those who were accomplished in other subjects of a scholastic and scientific nature. The practical importance of the subject naturally led me to the consideration of diseases that are essentially inflammatory, for over seventy-five per cent of all diseases of women are of an inflammatory nature. In this respect the book differs from other works on similar subjects. In discussing this class of diseases I have aimed to present a treatise simple in style, and easily understood by the casual reader. While I have endeavored to impart strictly scientific information, I have tried to impart it in familiar language, avoiding the use of technical terms as far as possible, and carefully defining them when their use became indispensable. JOHN A. MILLER, M.D.
