Abstract
THE practical pathology of to-day is very different from the practical pathology of twelve or fifteen years ago, when the third edition of this book was published. Nevertheless, the present edition, as regards the scope embraced by it, remains much as it was, viz., it is a guide for the post-mortem room and a manual of practical morbid anatomy and histology; general pathology, with the exception of inflammation, is almost untreated. Prof. Woodhead has, however, deliberately chosen this course, and in the preface explains that in its present form “Practical Pathology” has been found helpful to the medical student in his class and ward work, and to the practitioner who desires readily accessible data on the methods and information which it contains.
