jnremnrh As a matter of fact, this book was not intended to be read consecutively or for pleasure, but only when in need of information. In contrast to many . . . books which too often resemble the old-fashioned hoop-skirt in covering the subject Without touching it, this book is like a G-string in touching the subject Without any pretense of covering it, or even more aptly, like a brassiere in only touching the high spots. WILBURT C. DAv1soN, M.A., D.Sc., LL.D., M.D. The Compleat Pediatrician Duke University Press, Durham, N. C., 1949. The title and emblem of this book are used partly with the hope of impressing upon our readers the true medical history. Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine, is the father of medicine, and his healing staff is the only emblem correctly used to represent our profession. Scientiyic Monthly, 1932, 34:392. 4
