    PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. At the close of the year 1875, E- H. Ruddock, one of the most industrious workers in the field of medical literature, was called away suddenly to the unknown land. He was summoned from the activity atid cares of life to the quiet of the grave ; his restless brain was full of project, it had much to plan, much to accomplish, but the great Powers willed it other- wise—they iinposed upon him the one thing he had ever denied himself, and that was—Rest; Amohgst his books and papers were fouhd, nearly ready for publication, the following pages. His ex- fecutors plated them in my hands for supervision. 1 have cartfully gone through the whole of the matter tbntained therein, and have madfe some few alterations where, and only \Vhere, they seemed requisite ; for it was my wish, as far as possible, to preserve in its integrity the last work of our lamented friend.
