    TflE EDITOR'S PREFACE. This work is not to be confounded with the original Manual of Jahr. The present Repertory is a record of the observations which Jahr has been collecting for the last nine years, at the bed-side of patients. It is therefore an eminently practical work, and its utility is enhanced by the fact, that the various articles treated of in tliis Repertory are arranged in alphabetical order, and can, therefore, be consulted with the greatest ease The reader will find, in reading Jahr's preface, that he gives the pre- ference to particular attenuations in the treatment of disease. The subject of doses has been subjected to a full and impartial examination in the Phaumacopcria and Posology,'' a work which is now in press, and will soon be given to the public. All those who take an interest in the doctrine of doses, are re- ferred to this work for more complete information. CHARLES J. HEMPEL, M. D. JVete- York, December, 18-19.
