Reviews and Notes: Clinical Society of London: Report on Myxoedema 1888

FULL TEXT
215 pages. Boston: Francis A. Countway Library; 1992. $19.95.
A facsimile republication of the work that established myxedema as a clinical entity representing annihilation of the function of the thyroid body. The reprint of the report proper is accompanied by a facsimile reprint of the tabulated cases reviewed by the committee of the Clinical Society of London in preparing the report. Clark Sawin's introduction frames the report with an account of the knowledge of hypothyroidism before the report was issued and of its reception. This reprint will be attractive to endocrinologists and other physicians interested in how today's view of thyroid disease came out of clinical and pathologic studies in the 19th century.
