Every book comes to us more or less a stranger. Every stranger needs an introduction. Many a book fails of appreciation because it is not properly presented, especially is this true of scientific works. Aside from what the title page tells; why it came to be written, the progress of its growth, and especially the particular sphere it is to occupy are matters of deep interest.
Every book has a history of its own. This one had its origin with a committee of experts appointed by the Homoeopathic Medical Society of Philadelphia County to prepare an essay on some important medical subject. They choose that neglected organ the Pancreas and its Diseases. Prof. Thomas ably marked out the position of the Pancreas, its size, shape and peculiar functions; Prof. Morgan, with rare tact presented a digest of all that is really known of the etiology and special pathology of the singular diseases of the Pancreas and their relations to those of other adjacent organs. Prof. Korndoerfer skillfully outlined the differential diagnosis and prognosis of the Pancreatic diseases; while Prof. Farrington wisely selected the remedies Homoeopathic to these diseases.
This most masterly contribution to medical science was found buried in the Transactions of the Homoeopathic Medical Society of Pennsylvania, and believing that many physicians would welcome its help in elucidating many an obscure case, the Publishers secured permission for a reissue. The articles were revised by the authors, and after securing wide attention through the columns of The United States Medical Investigator, are here rearranged and presented in a permanent form for convenient reference.
When we consider the difficulties that beset this committee, from the obscure nature of pancreatic diseases, and its remoteness from diagnostic fields, and the meagerness of pancreatic remedy symptoms, we are filled with admiration at the result, and can point with pride to this work as filling a most important vacancy in American medical literature. That the pioneer work on diseases of the Pancreas hails from Homoeopathic sources is no small honor. It will serve as a useful guide, and at the same time as a nucleus for the observations of the profession.
