Excerpt from The Asclepiad, Vol. 11: A Book of Original Research and Observation in the Science, Art, and Literature of Medicine, Preventive and CurativeIn the way of compensation, to some extent, for the loss of time, I have added to the four parts that have been published several additional pages, which will, I trust, be accepted. I also trust that the new pages of selected readings, promised in last volume, will meet with the approval of the many who assure me that they keep the asolepiad as one of their treasures.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
