 lowest formations may serve to explain the history of the 

 most perfect and complex parts.

 loped to you as completely as it was possible for me 

 here to do, the principles by means of which alone it is, 

 according to my experience, possible to come to any cor- 

 rect decision in the case of pathological processes. I 

 heartily thank you for the lively interest which you have 

 testified to me up to the last moment. I perfectly know 

 how to appreciate the fact that men like you, whose time 

 is taken up by such manifold labours, still retain a taste 

 for discussions of this kind, and I only wish that many a 

 useful view of recent date may have been rendered more 

 intelligible to you by these lectures, and that the facts I 

 have laid before you may furnish you with recollections 

 which may prove of service in your practice.
