Observations on Certain of the Diseases of Young Children (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Observations on Certain of the Diseases of Young Children

In October, 1849, as a considerable number of students had already assembled, I engaged to address to them several pre liminary Lectures on the subject of children's diseases. The following pages contain the substance of what I then said to the Class who honored me with their attendance.

Inasmuch as the regular business of my professorship was to commence on the first of November, and as the chief object of my appointment is to give instruction at that College on Obstetrics, I felt obliged to break off the series of remarks on disorders of children, in order to lay the foundations of such doctrine on Midwifery as I proposed to teach.
