Excerpt from Appleton's Medical Dictionary The main emphasis we would lay upon this, that because language is not only a tool but a mobile tool it is in a continuous state Of growth and alteration. What serves today may be inadequate and useless to-morrow. It Is impossible therefore that the matter Of this book should be fixed and perfected. There are terms whose value 18 already passing but whose functioning Is as yet indis pensable, there are others whose meaning as well as whose value must be more fully discovered and appraised by experience. The dictionary as a whole represents the process Of growth. Its use will not only determine its worth, it will also create its worth in so far as the tools it furnishes are utilized and applied to constructive work in the direct medical service Of the sick, physical and mental together, and it will, moreover, in so doing be itself further developed, will alter and grow. It is with an understanding Of its necessary limitations and imperfections but possibilities as an instrument for a service reaching far beyond itself through the mobility Of the tool, that we offer it to the minds that are to supply the motive and directing force.
