    PREFACE. In 1854, Dr. Roth offered in Paris, for the best essay on the physiological and therapeutic action of Aconite, a prize of five hundred francs—a sum which had been placed at his disposition, for this purpose, by one devoted to the interests of homoeopathy— and designated, to examine and decide upon the merits of the essays which should be presented for competition, Dr. Hirschel, of Dres- den, and Drs. Meyer and Muller, of Leipzig. To the following Monograph on Aconite, of which Dr. Retl de- clared himself the author, these gentlemen awarded the full prize, after he had expressed his willingness to add to the work the various contributions relative to the subject which had made their appear- ance within the last two years, and to undertake some alterations. This done, nothing was wanting to the praiseworthy object of Dr. Roth but to give the work publicity through the press,—a task to which the undersigned has devoted himself so much the more will- ingly as he believed that, by so doing, he could best express to his colleague at Paris, his thanks in the name of homoeopathy. DR. CL MfTLLER. Leipzig, February, 1858
