PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION 



THE very favorable reception everywhere accorded to 

 this book indicates that the work serves the purpose for 

 which it was intended. In the present edition the text 

 has been revised to include scientific discoveries of the 

 past few years. Moreover, it has seemed wise to add a 

 chapter on Inflammation and one on Quarantine, and to 

 give a brief note on the pathology of the more important 

 infections.
