A Study of the Causes Underlying the Origin of Human Monsters: Third Contribution to the Study of the Pathology of Human Embryos (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Study of the Causes Underlying the Origin of Human Monsters: Third Contribution to the Study of the Pathology of Human Embryos

I wish it were possible to thank adequately the many physicians who have contributed the specimens and who have responded so generously to my many inquiries. All data obtained from them are given in quotations under the descrip tion of the specimens, which are also properly credited to the donors. Some names will be seen repeatedly, as Miller, Boldt, Lamb, Brodel, Ballard, West and Minot. In addition, I wish also to thank my colleagues at the Johns Hopkins, who have aided me in every possible way to bring together the gynecological, obstetrical, pathological and experimental embryological evidence.

In this paper all of the embryos mentioned in the two-pre vions ones are discussed, and brought together in Part II. The essence of the first contribution is given, and all of the second contribution is incorporated in this publication, so in a measure it may be viewed as a study of the whole colléc tion. However, the various steps by which I came to arrange the specimens, as I have, can be understood only by consulting the two previous publications.
