This is the dedication in Metabolic Toxemia of Late Pregnancy, by Dr. Tom Brewer, written in 1966, with a new edition
in 1982.
This book is respectfully dedicated to:
The obstetrical patients of Charity Hospital, New Orleans, Louisiana, to those of Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami, Florida,
and to those of the Richmond Health Center, Richmond, California, from whom I learned many basic facts about metabolic toxemia
of late pregnancy;
James H. Ferguson, M.D., Professor and Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics-Gynecology, University of Miami School of
Medicine, Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami, Florida, who first taught me the classical ideas about this common disease of
pregnancy when I was a medical student at Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, and who later provided opportunities
for my obstetrical traning and clinical research studies of this problem at Jackson Memorial Hospital; and
To the memory of Claude Bernard, French physiologist, the real Father of Modern Scientific Medicine, who taught me through
his classic writings about medical research to "look on the other side of the coin."
