For although relatively few contributions were made in the century and a half which elapsed between the epochal work of William Heberden1in 1768 and that of James B. Herrick2, 3in 1912 and 1918, a wealth of material on this theme has appeared in the world's medical literature of the last 20 years. The usefulness of an additional paper on the general subject at this time might, therefore, properly be questioned. At the risk of such criticism and with the realization that much of...References1.
