Book Description
Excerpt from Contributions to Practical Medicine In five years, since the middle Of 1886, a large edition of Contributions to Practical Medicine has become exhausted. In the present second edition I have revised and corrected every page Of the first, by whatever experience I have been able to gather during twenty-five years of busy practice in treating the sick. I have added two new essays. The first is upon the treatment of gastralgia, and it was published originally in The Lancet, in 1887; the second deals with my researches concerning the use of ether as a menstruum in medication-by the skin, and includes the substance of my communications upon this subject to The Lancet, last year. Throughout this little book I have aimed at utility in medical practice, and I have tried to Observe the brevity of detail and expression which seems fitting in a time when there is no end Of making books. If there be in these pages many wide gaps and much literary incompleteness, I can only plead the pressure of daily clinical work, and rely upon the generous judg ment of my professional brethren.
