Excerpt from Medical Gynecology The book has been fostered from its incipiency by my friend and co - laborer, Dr. Caroline Latimer, without whose aid it could not have been written. She has nursed it throughout with unwonted solicitude 'and after revision and cor rection sent it forth into the world to battle for a living. I am indebted for help and suggestion to Dr. W. L. Burrage and Dr. C. F. Burnam through a large part of the book; to Dr. T. R. Brown in the chapter on constipation, headache, insomnia, and obesity; to Dr. G. W. Dobbin, Dr. Richard Norris, and Dr. J. M. Slemmons in the chapter on injuries and ail ments after labor. Dr. W. S. Baer has given me valuable advice concerning the treatment of backache, in which chapter I draw special attention to sacro iliac disease, and Dr. G. L. Hunner has assisted me in revising the chapter on cancer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
