FIRST EDITION of this comprehensive work on pediatrics. “Barthez (1811-1861) and
Rilliet (1814-1861) had studied together at Paris and begun this work some years before
their graduation. The book received awards from a number of academies of science and
medicine and is notable for its classic descriptions of pediatric diseases. One of the earliest
works on pediatrics as a specialty, it contains case studies to show the etiology, clinical
course, therapy and pathology of a disease. The work went through three editions and
was also translated into German” (Heirs of Hippocrates).
