PREFACE.
A series of illustrated articles on certain skin diseases which are apt to occur in infancy and childhood appeared in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children a year ago, and are now published in book form. While some additions have been made to most of them, the work is far from being a complete description of all the cutaneous affections which occur in
childhood. It is merely intended to serve as a concise and practical sketch of the symptomatology and treatment of those eruptions which are most likely to affect the juvenile patients of every family physician.
To Dr. Horace S. Stokes the thanks of the author are due for valuable assistance, especially in the compilation of the appended formulary.
