    XI But if my direct debt to others can be measured, it is impossible to estimate what I owe indirectly to the writings of far better observers than myself; there is scarcely a writer on diseases of childhood in Great Britain, America, or elsewhere from whom I have not at some time drawn valuable aid in the study of disease in children. Whatever I have consciously borrowed I have tried to acknowledge in the text; but, as I have already implied, the source from which I have chiefly drawn has been my own clinical records, and if I have made no reference to this or that writer’s work it is not for lack of appreciation, but because it would have been inconsistent with the purpose of this book to make it a resume of other people’s observa¬ tions. To the Editors of the Lancet, British Medical Journal, Practitioner, and Clinical Journal, I owe thanks for permission to make use of articles or lectures which I had contributed to their pages, and which I have now used in their original or in modified form. My indebtedness for some of the illustrations is acknowledged in the text: others are inserted by the kind permission of the Lancet, of Dr. L. E. Creasy and of Messrs. Power and Murphy. In conclusion, I must thank the Publishers and Printers for much care and patience in the production of this book, and also Mr. J. K. Murphy, F.R.C.S., for kindly advice on several points. To my sister, Miss A. Still, I am indebted for invaluable assistance in the preparation of charts, the compilation of the index, and other laborious details of publication. G. F. STILL.
