Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tumors of the Jaws New-growths of the jaws are uncommon. Certainly no one physician meets many cases. The infrequency of these cases increases the responsibility of the practitioner. It is important that he inform himself of these tumors. My object in this monograph is, first of all, to assist the physician in determining in a given case what form of new growth is present and what is its best treatment. The second aim of this monograph is to make vivid the picture of each tumor of the jaw by statistical story and by case history, so that the physician may recognize the new growths of the jaws in their early stages. In American medical literature no complete description of the growths of the jaws exists. Christopher Heath's book upon Injuries and Diseases of the Jaws illustrates the case method of teaching an unfamiliar subject. It is a valuable contribution. Perthes, of the University of Leipzig, in a monograph published as a volume of the Deutsche Chirurgie in 1907, has contributed to German medical literature the best upon this important subject. The bibliography of Perthes is valuable and is complete. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
