The author undertakes, first, to give a picture of disease which shall 

 be as lifelike and faithful to nature as possible, instead of being a mere 

 theoretical scheme; secondly, so to utilize the more recent advances 

 of pathological anatomy, physiology, and physiological chemistry, as to 

 furnish a clearer insight into the various processes of disease. 



The work has met with the most flattering reception and deserved 

 success ; has been adopted as a text-book in many of the medical colleges 

 both in this country and in Europe; and has received the very highest 

 encomiums from the medical and secular press. 



"It is comprehensive and concise, and is characterized by clearness and 

 originality." Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medicine. 



" Its author is learned in medical literature ; he has arranged his materials 

 with care and judgment, and has thought over them." The Lancet. 



"As a full, systematic, and thoroughly practical guide for the student and 

 physician, it is not excelled by any similar treatise in any language." Appletons' 

 /burnal. 



" The author is an accomplished pathologist and practical physician ; he is not 

 only capable of appreciating the new discoveries, which during the last ten years 

 have been unusually numerous and important in scientific and practical medicine, 

 but, by his clinical experience, he can put these new views to a practical test, and 

 give judgment regarding them." Edinburgh Medical Journal. 



" From its general excellence, we are disposed to think that it will soon take 

 its place among the recognized text-books." American Quarterly Journal of 

 Medical Sciences. 



" The first inquiry in this country regarding a German book generally is, * la 

 it a work of practical value ? " Without stopping to consider the justness of the 

 American idea of the ' practical,' we can unhesitatingly answer, ' It is ! ' " New 

 York Medical Journal. 



" The author has the power of sifting the tares from the wheat a matter of 

 the greatest importance in a text-book for students." British Medical Journal. 



" Whatever exalted opinion our countrymen may have of the author's talents 

 of observation and his practical good sense, his text-book will not disappoint 

 them, while those who are so unfortunate as to know him only by name, have in 

 store a rich treat." New York Medical Record.
