    EDITOR'S PREFACE. If it be true that good wine needs no bush, 'tis certainly true that so good a book as this needs no preface. The American editor only ventures to add a few words relative to the method of instruction adopted iu this book. It exemplifies a happy blending of the didactic and clinical such as is scarcely to be found in any other volume upon this subject with which we are acquainted. It is upon the value of the clinical portion of the work that the editor would dwell with particular emphasis. The beginner will find here a series of patho- logical conditions, illustrated with a remarkable fidelity to Nature, that it would undoubtedly require him a number of years to duplicate in actual practice; while the veteran, however rich his experience, will note a precision, a finesse in diagnosis that cannot fail to be instructive and, perhaps, even inspiring. The admirable translation, which is the work of Mr. R. Max Goepp, has been carefully compared with the original, and the editor's comments are intended as expository of, rather than as actual additions to, the text. C. P. G.
