    * PEEFAOE. of drugs, other uses being referred to casually; about all that can be written relative to the action of drugs under the old classification will be found in the older works, and I have not seen fit to occupy space with this part of the subject. Dynamical Therapeutics is not intended to supplant any other work in our school, but to fill a new place. At the outset, it was my intention to omit all reference to the topical influence of drugs, and this intention has been generally carried out, though under the departments devoted to the eye and ear this idea has been ignored, as it would be an important omission where topical therapeutics are so extensively employed. Dr. Foltz's reputation as a specialist in diseases of the eye and ear, and his well-known ability as a writer on these subjects through our current liter- ature, will commend this volume to all who desire an Eclectic text-book on the therapeutics of these specialties—and this is the only work in our litera- ture which devotes any special attention to the subject. I have quoted extensively from our medical jour- nals whenever I have thought the material of service, giving credit in each instance ; and almost a complete reprint of Pacific Coast contributions to Eclectic lit- erature on new remedies—not extensive—will be found in these pages.
