    wish to make themselves acquainted with the latest methods of clinical investigation. While the whole book has passed through the hands of both of us, yet each has made himself specially responsible for cer- tain parts. Thus Dr. Rainy has written Chapters II., IV., VI., and XIV., the sections on the electrical examination of muscles and nerves, on the parasites of the alimentary tract, and on the microscopical ex- amination of the urine. The rest of the work is from the pen of Dr. Hutchison. In order to avoid burdening the text, but few references have been given to .authorities and original sources. We should like, however, to take this oppor- tunity of acknowledging the help which we have received from various friends. Amongst these are Drs. Alex. Bruce, R. W. Philip, G. Lovell Gulland, and John Thomson, who have helped us with criticism and advice in the preparation of Chapters IV. and IX., VI., V., and XII. respectively. We have also to thank Dr. Patrick Manson, Dr. Byrom Bramwell, Dr. J. Purves Stewart, and Prof. Symington for the use of specimens and illustrations, and Dr. T. P. IVUlroy for assistance in the revision of proofs. To Dr. R. J. M. Buchanan we are specially indebted for preparing the drawings illustrating the microscojm ;i I examination of the blood. R. H. H. R.
