- "Pædos, we all know, means “a child,” while iatria means medical management, or, in other words, pædiatria is the “treatment of the diseases and preservation of the health of children.” So says Dunglison. That leaves out pathology or a simple study of the diseases of children. To cover the whole field, why do they not write pædopathy (the pathology of children) and pædiatria or condense the words into pædopathiatria. Better for them to follow the leading of the gynecologists, and write simply pædology. Perhaps pædopathy would correspond better to the German expression (Kinder Krankheiten). But our American “regulars” dislike the very word “pathy.”"
- "While it treats of nothing new, it handles the intricacies of neurology as seen in paedopathy in a concise and refreshing manner."
