“...some of the difficulties and errors which envelop the study of cutaneous aetiology: in part, prejudices born of ignorance, but of strange vitality, and transmitted with the authority of both popular and professional belief; in part, the direct result of hasty, short-sighted theorizing by those who occupy the positions of teachers in our art. We shall make no progress in this branch of dermatology until we sweep away all of this rubbish of superstition, all these crude theories of schools and writers, and professing entire ignorance, if need be, build up a true aetiology by legitimate methods of truthful observation and sound reasoning." James Clarke White, Harvard Professor of Dermatology, 1879 .
