AB The first edition of this book was published in 1870. It has been reprinted once. Its quality as a contribution to medical history is of the highest. With every new bit of information relative to Daniel Drake, his stature rises. He was one of America's greatest pioneer physicians. His two volume work "Principal Diseases of the Interior Valley of North America" is a medical classic. Daniel Drake was the first medical student of Cincinnati. He gave Ohio the name of Buckeye state. He was a professor in several medical schools and the founder of an early medical journal.
