Excerpt from Principles and Application of Local Treatment in Diseases of the Skin Therefore, in these lectures I endeavored to make plain what was desired to be accomplished, and to estab lish principles of local therapeutics, as well as to give certain practical hints as to their employment. How far I may have succeeded cannot be known until those not very familiar with dermatological practice have put them into active use. It is sincerely hoped that they may find many of the suggestions given to be of practical value. To aid in the practical utility of the little book I have made a very full index, which will often refer to the same disease mentioned under different topics.
