    ADVEETISEMENT TO THE SECOND EDITION. edition of 1,000 copies, sold in about three months, is, I hope, an evidence that my Manual is, to some extent, answering the purpose with which it was written, by supplying a long-felt want of my professional brethren. I regret that its reviewers have not at present offered any criticisms upon the scientific details of my work from which I can gather hints for its improvement; but, in answer to my request in the preface, many medical men have kindly sent me suggestions, of which I have not failed to take advantage in preparing this new edition for the press, and I beg to return my best thanks for their co-operation in my attempt to facilitate a systematic attention to diet and regimen. The principal alterations in this edition will be found to consist in changes of place in the arrangement of the matter and in the addition of some explanatory passages in connection with the Tablets. I cannot lose this opportunity of repeating my request, that any one who has tried the Manual in its present form will favour me with his suggestions for its improve- ment. H. D. 1864.
