    INTRODUCTION. In reading over a Latin treatise ' on pulmonaiy diseases, I happened to meet with some recorded cases of the diuretic influence of lodine in dropsy. This power bas been observed by many medical practitioners. I shall feel greatly indebted to any gentleman of the profession, who bas made, or will make, a trial of it in ascites, to send me a history of tbe case, for the improvement of a future édition. lodine was flrst introduced in the treatment of bronchocèle^. Dr. Manson, in his Medical Re- searches, on the effects of lodine, has given several instances of its utility in bronchocèle, paralysis, chorea, scrophula, fistula lachrymalis, deafness.
