Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cottage Hospitals: General, Fever and Convalescent IT is fifteen years since the Second Edition 'of this book was published. During the last few years a Third Edition has been in urgent demand; but owing to the great pressure of other work we have found it impossible to produce a new edition earlier. It was also felt that it would be better for some one else to produce a book on the subject, than to merely reprint the Second Edition without adequate revision. Now, however, the present volume is not only up to date, but is in reality a new book on the subject of cottage hospitals. Since the First Edition was published, nearly twenty years ago, it has been our privilege and pleasure to do our utmost to promote the success of cottage hospitals everywhere. No occasion has been missed to insist upon their value and importance to all who reside in rural districts. It has been urged that the cottage hospital enabled the country practitioner to become an accomplished and skilful surgeon, and to keep himself well abreast of the new features of medical practice.
