The object of this book is first, to aid the student and physician to recognize 

 disease, and, second, to point out the proper methods of treatment. To this end 

 Diagnosis and Treatment receive special attention, while pathology and 

 morbid anatomy have such consideration as is demanded by their importance as funda- 

 mental conditions of a thorough understanding of disease. Dr. Tyson's qualifications 

 for writing such a work are unequaled. It is really the outcome of over thirty 

 years' experience in teaching and in private and hospital practice. As a 

 teacher he has, while devoting himself chiefly to clinical medicine, occupied several 

 important chairs, notably those of General Pathology and Morbid Anatomy, and 

 Clinical Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, an experience that has necessarily 

 widened his point of view and added weight to his judgment. This, the Second, 

 Edition has been most thoroughly revised, parts have been rewritten, new 

 material and illustrations have been added, and in many respects it may be considered 

 a new book. 



" It is in the writing and preparation of a work of this character that Dr. Tyson stands pre- 

 eminent. Those of the profession and there are many at this time who have been fortunate to 

 have been his pupils during their medical student days, will remember that he brought to his 

 lectures and to his writings an amount of industry and care which many other teachers failed to 

 bring ; and those who know him best as an author and teacher have expected that his book on the 

 Practice of Medicine, when it appeared, would be a credit to himself, and would increase his 

 reputation as a medical author. This belief has proved correct. ' ' Therapeutic Gazette, Detroit, Mick. 



" After a third of a century spent in the assiduous study, practice, and teaching of medicine, 

 and the publication of successful books on various topics, theoretical and practical, the writing of a 

 text-book is not only a proper ambition, but is really expected by students and the profession. So 

 Professor Tyson best shows his modesty by making no apology for the present work." American 

 Journal of Medical Sciences, Philadelphia,
