Excerpt from Syphilis and Its Treatment: With Especial Reference to Syphilis of the Skin Except where otherwise stated, the illustrations are all taken from cases met with in one or other of these institutions. The water-colour drawings were the work of Miss Mabel Green, and I think faithfully portray the conditions as they were. Apart from this, however, one cannot help feeling, on reading the proofs through again for the last time, how little is based on one's own knowledge and experience, and how much is borrowed, consciously or unconsciously, from others. Where possible, I have acknow ledged this in the text but I should like to take this opportunity of thanking and admitting my indebtedness to, in the first place, my teachers at the St. Louis Hospital in Paris, on whose excellent groundwork, instilled into me many years ago, much of this book is based; to my senior, Sir Malcolm Morris, under whom I worked at the Seamen's Hospital, Greenwich; to Dr. J. M. H. Macleod, of Charing Cross Hospital, from whom I acquired any small knowledge I may have of the histology of skin diseases. In addition he has been of very great assistance to me in this present' work, not only with regard to material, but to a far greater extent in the wording and arrangement of the text, many of the sentences of which are borrowed from him, and in other instances he has corrected my own literary efforts and thereby eliminated many defects.
