Excerpt from Standard Nomenclature of Diseases and Pathological Conditions, Injuries, and Poisonings for the United States Sir: The Council of National Defense began the Standard Nomenclature of Diseases, Pathological Conditions, Injuries, and Poisonings for the United States, but was unable to complete the work because of other pressing problems. The Council therefore recommended that the nomenclature be completed by the Bureau of the Census. This recommendation was indorsed by the Surgeon Generals of the Army, Navy, and Public Health Service, and the President of the United States allotted the necessary funds. Emphasis should be given to the fact that this Standard Nomenclature is a first edition and it is hoped that criticisms will be so freely made that a better second edition will result. This publication has been prepared in the Bureau of the Census under the direct supervision of William H. Davis, M. D., chief statistician for vital statistics, and Richard C. Lappin, expert special agent, after consultation with the Advisory Committee on Medical Nomenclature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
