    PREFACE TO THE FIFTH GERMAN EDITION. The new edition has been revised in all its parts, and altered or en- larged in many places. The most thorough revision has been made in regard to the examination of gastric digestion arfd the examination of the nervous system. Fourteen new illustrations have been added, and a few former ones have been replaced by ones more suitable. For a. part of these I have to thank my former assistant, Dr. Becker. That we have for the present altogether omitted the application of Röntgen rays for the purposes of internal medicine, which is still in its. first beginnings, will no doubt be approved by every reader. Nevertheless, a not inconsiderable enlargement of the book could not be avoided. I hope that this enlargement will also be considered an improvement. O. VIERORDT. Heidelberg, February, 1897.
