From the Preface to the Third Edition. 



Since the publication, in December, 1866, of the second edition of this treatise, much time has 

 been devoted to its revision. Recognizing in the favor with which it has been received a pro- 

 portionate obligation to strive constnntlyto increase its worthiness, the author has introduced in 

 the present edition addittons, derived from his clinical studies, and from the latest contributions 

 in medical literature, which, it is believed, will enhance considerably the practical utility of the 

 work. A slight modification in the typographical arrangement has accommodated these additions 

 without materially increasing the bulk of the volume. 

 NEW YORK, October, 1868. 



At the very low price affixed, the profession will find this to be one of the cheapest volumes 

 within their reach. A few notices of former editions are subjoined. 



We are happy in being able once more to commend 

 this work to the students and practitioners of medicine 

 who seek for accurate information conveyed in lan- 

 guage at once clear, precise, and expressive. Amer. 

 Journ. Med. Sciences, April, 1867. 



Dr. Flint, who has been known in this country for 

 many years, both as an author and teacher, who has 

 discovered truth, and pointed it out clearly and dis- 

 tinctly to others, investigated the symptoms and na- 

 tural history of disease and recorded its language and 

 facts, and devoted a life of incessant study and 

 thought to the doubtful or obscure in his profession, 

 has at length, in his ripe scholarship, given this work 

 to the profession as a crowning gift. If we have spoken 

 highly of its value to the profession and world ; if we 

 have said, all considered, it is the very best work 

 upon medical practice in any language; if we have 

 spoken of its excellences in detail, and given points 

 of special value, we have yet failed to express in any 

 degree our present estimate of its value as a guide in 

 the practice of medicine. It does not contain too much 

 or too little ; it is not positive where doubt should be 

 expressed, or hesitate where truth is known. It is 

 philosophical and speculative where philosophy and 

 speculation are all that can at present be obtained, 

 but nothing is admitted to the elevation of established 

 truth, without the most thorough investigation. It 

 is truly remarkable with what even hand this work 

 has been written, and how it all shows the most care- 

 ful thought and untiring study. We conclude that, 

 though it may yet be susceptible of improvement, it 

 still constitutes the very best which human knowledge 

 can at present produce. "When knowledge is in- 

 creased," the work will doubtless be again revised; 

 meanwhile we shall accept it as the rule of practice. 

 Buffalo Med. and Surg. Journal, Feb. 1867. 



Dr. Flint's book is the only one on the practice of 

 medicine that can benefit the young practitioner. 

 Nashville Med. Journal, Aug. 1866. 



We consider the book, in all its essentials, as the 

 best adapted to the student of any of our numerous 

 text-books on this subject. N. Y Med. Journ., Jan. '67. 



Its terse conciseness fully redeems it from being 

 ranked among heavy and common- place works, while 

 the unmistakable way in which Dr. Flint gives his 

 own views is quite refreshing, and far from common. 

 It is a book of enormous research ; the writer is evi- 

 dently a man of observation and large experience ; 

 his views are practically sound and theoretically 

 moderate, and we have no hesitation in commending 

 his magnum opus to our readers. Dublin Medical 

 Press and Circular, May 16, 1866. 



In the plan of the work and the treatment of indi- 

 vidual subjects there is a freshness and an originality 

 which make it worthy of the study of practitioners 

 as well as students. It is, indeed, an admirable book, 

 and highly creditable to American medicine. For 

 clearness and conciseness in style, for careful reason- 

 ing upon what is known, for lucid distinction between 

 what we know and what we do not know, between 

 what nature does in disease and what the physician 

 can do and should, for richness in good clinical ob- 

 servation, for independence of statement and opinion 

 on great points of practice, and for general sagacity 

 and good judgment, the work is most meritorious. 

 It is singularly rich in good qualities, and free from 

 faults. London Lancet, June 23, 1866. 



In following out such a plan Dr. Flint has suc- 

 ceeded most admirably, and gives to his readers a 

 work that is not only very readable, interesting, 

 and concise, but in every respect calculated to meet 

 the requirements of professional men of every class. 

 The student has presented to him, in the plainest 

 possible manner, the symptoms of disease, the prin- 

 ciples which should guide him in its treatment, and 

 the difficulties which have to be surmounted in order 

 to arrive at a correct diagnosis. The practitioner, 

 besides having such aids, has offered to him the con- 

 clusion which the experience of the professor has 

 enabled him to arrive at in reference to the relative 

 merits of different therapeutical agents, and different 

 methods of treatment. This new work will add not 

 a little to the well-earned reputation of Prof. Flint as 

 a medical teacher. A". Y. Med. Record, April 2, 1866.
