The following production, although small in compass, is the result of a good deal of observation and reflection. It might easily have been swelled into a large volume, and made to assume the shape of a systematic treatise. Such was not, however, the intention of the author. With regard to the Diseases of Children generally, we have so many books of established value, as" to render unnecessary, at present at least, any additions to their number. Among these, the author would particularly mention the works of Evanson and Maunsell of Ireland, West of England, and in his own country, those of Dewees, Eberle, Stewabt, and Condie. The design of the author was, to notice some prominent subjects which appeared to him not to have sufficiently attracted attention, and concerning which he hoped to offer some suggestions of practical importance. From the manner in which the work has been received, he is inclined to believe that this object has been accomplished. It appears to have met the approbation of the profession generally, whilst most of the opinions contained in it have been endorsed by the highest authorities. In preparing it for a second edition, it has been carefully revised and considerably enlarged. The account of the cases of deaths by poisoning in the city and county of New York, has been introduced with two objects in view: to call the attention of the profession to the importance of having the office of Coroner filled by a medical man, and to show the value of statistical 4.eports of the cases coming under his notice. If these were carefully made and regularly reported, it is believed that much interesting matter would be presented to the public which is now entirely buried in oblivion, and might possibly result in the enactment of some law to regulate Books History~~General Essays-on-Infant-Therapeutics~~John-Brodhead-Beck General Books LLC This is an OCR edition without illustrations or index.

Not illustrated. 1864 Excerpt: ...but when syncope does come on, it is very certain that they do not recover from it so readily, and they are always in more or less danger. In the adult, syncope from the loss of blood, unless the quantity be very large, is a state which, as a general rule, is attended with little or no danger, and from which the patient speedily recovers. Hence it is that physicians are continually in the habit of inducing it in the management of certain forms of disease, and not merely with impunity, but evident advantage. In the young subject it is not so, and it is a state always attended with hazard. If the child recover from it, it does so very slowly, and every now and then it sinks irretrievably under its influence. That this is a fact, is confirmed by abundant testimony on the part of those who have taken the trouble to make the necessary observations. Dr. Marshall Hall, in speaking on this subject, says, In infancy, the state of syncope (from the loss of blood) is a state of danger.. Evanson and Maunsell remark, As a general rule, it is well to stop the flow of blood when decided pallor takes place, without waiting for actual fainting, from which children do not quickly recover.f Armstrong says, Do not bleed to actual syncope in children, as they are apt to fall into convulsions, of which they may die. Children do not recruit from very large bleedings like adults.:: Dr. Ryan observes, The abstraction of blood in cases of infants and children until fainting occurs, is the worst practice that can be imagined, as convulsions or death may be produced. SS Indeed, the general fact admits of no question; and the reason is obvious enough, if we reflect for a moment upon the nature of the agent, and at the same time compa...
