- Summary:
- The evaluation of focal infections is an outstanding contribution of twentieth century medicine. To focus the attention upon a potential enemy of health, and fortunately in a field accessible to work without elimination of vital functions, such as we experienced in the days of wholesale ovariotomies and the like, Dr. Cotton has been among the foremost in pushing to its logical end the freeing of the organism of the insidious infections. He appears to have brought out palpable results not attained by any previous or contemporary attack on the grave problem of mental disorder. These lectures give a forcible picture of what is being done on focal infections. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
