Excerpt from The Political Medicine Series, Vol. 3: The Eye, Ear, Nose, and ThroatAlthough the output of ophthalmic literature during 1919 was not quite equal to the annual contributions of the prewar period, yet, including the articles and books on military surgery, it was much more than this necessarily restricted volume is able to review. The subjects supposed to be exclusively or largely military are, after all, mostly civilian in their practical applications, so that although a chapter has been devoted to military ophthalmology many papers written as the result of experiences gained in camp and trench will be found under the ordinary headings. In addition to these subjects especial attention has been given to general diseases in their relation to ocular affections.The Editor acknowledges his indebtedness to the Journal of the American Medical Association, the British Journal of Ophthalmology, Ophthalmic Literature and especially to the contributors to and collaborators of the American Journal of Ophthalmology, from which he has extensively quoted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
