Originally published in 1899, The work has been written in the first instance with the view of meeting the wants of the homoeopathic practitioner in his daily dealings with diseases of the skin; at the same time the needs of the medical student in preparing for his examinations has been kept constantly in mind. The author has endeavoured to present his subject in the most practical manner and with the fewest possible words consistent with an intelligible presentation of the same. To this end he has avoided all theoretical and controversial discussions, which are of interest to the specialist rather than to the general practitioner or student....
