ON THE DISEASES OF INFANTS,
BY C. M. BILLARD,
Founded on recent Clinical Observations and Investigations in Pathological Anatomy, made at the “Hospice des Enfans-Trouvés,” at Paris, with a Medico-Legal Dissertation on the Viability of the Child. Translated from the French, with Notes, by James Stewart, M.D.
“The original work of M. Billard has long held the highest rank among treatises on the diseases of children in this country, though there are many to whom it has hitherto been a sealed book, from their ignorance of the French language. This difficulty is now overcome, and in a way to enhance the value of the work; for it is not merely translated by Dr. Stewart, but enriched with an appendix of valuable comments on M. Billard’s descriptions, supplying occasional deficiencies and affording the reader an opportunity of comparing disease as it appears in France and America.”—Dublin Journal of Medicine, May, 1840.
“The work of M. Billard is generally acknowledged to be one of the most important on the subject of which it treats, of any that have hitherto been published. For minute but cautious reasoning, it may serve as a model; and what it lacks in therapeutic detail, is supplied by the experienced translator in the appendix.”—American Jour. of the Med. Sciences, Nov. 1839.
“We know not where we have found, within the same compass, so much valuable information in relation to the treatment of the diseases of children; and every reader must admire the candour, modesty and philosophical clearness, with which the author sets forth his views, while at the same time he adopts them as his own.”—N. Y. Medical Journal.
