    My undertaking a new work on this theme merely shows the abundance of material accumulated during the last few years, and the development of new points of view that justify the publication of another book on the subject. It has been my endeavor to confine myself to the positive, and, disregarding speculation, to present to the reader nothing but exact and well-established information. The treatment of the subject is purposely succinct, especially the description of the commoner diseases. A detailed description of special symptomatology is not within the scope of this book, which does not pretend to be a special text-book in the ordinary sense, being intended to awaken the interests of both the general practitioner and the specialist in certain matters which appear to me to demand special attention and further elaboration. As I have drawn freely from the entire literature, bibliographic notes seemed to me indispensable. They do not pretend to anything like completeness, but I have, I hope, cited the most important works, a reference to which will enable the reader to elucidate any doubtful questions that may present themselves. E. P. Friedrich.
