Part 1 of volume 12 is a book of nearly 900 pages and is devoted chiefly to tropical diseases of the skin. It has chapters on frambesia; gundu; tropical phagedena; leishmaniasis; the exanthems and other pictures of the skin in tropical diseases; verruca peruviana; dermatomycosis in the tropics; tropical blastomycosis; animal parasites of the skin in tropical countries, and the skin and helminths.
