The Treatment of Cavernous and Plexiform Angiomata by the Injection of Boiling Water (Wyeth Method)

Excerpt from The Treatment of Cavernous and Plexiform Angiomata by the Injection of Boiling Water (Wyeth Method)

Perhaps no apology is necessary for the appearance of this monograph in brochure form.

An excuse, however, may be offered on the grounds that a liberal supply of reprints has been exhausted, and though the original article appeared in Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics nearly three years ago, requests for reprints are still being received. It is the best attestation whereby the value of the procedure embodied in this brochure is to be judged. Furthermore, it conveys the conviction that physicians are alive to appreciate what appears in medical journals of high standard. A subject of special interest will usually engender the wish for a reprint. For this there is one good reason; viz., that a reprint is filed away and becomes readily accessible in case the physician wishes to refresh his mind on a particular subject, whereas the journal in which the desired article appeared is usually displaced and frequently can not be found among the mass of medical literature when it is most needed.

Dr. Stuart McQuire, of Richmond, Va., about two years ago, embodied a number of his reprints in one volume. It made a handy book. The idea impressed me as a splendid one.
