    vi only the result of generally received modern experience on the treatment of Syphilitic Diseases. I have adopted no party in the question; as will be perceived by a perusal of the work, not agreeing ex- clusively with the mercurialists, on the one hand, or condemning the remedy in toto on the other, in ac- cordance with the principles of the physiologic school, or the partisans of the simple treatment. I have en- deavoured to hold out to the confidence of the reader those plans of treatment, and those only which are calculated to cure his patient the most speedily and with the greatest safety. The opinions and practice of Wallace, Desruelles, Cullerier, and more particularly Mons. Ricord, will be found fully described in the following pages—whilst, at the same time, the result of my own experience has been added to the weight of theirs. In addition to this the value of many new remedies now much employed in the treatment of Syphilis has been discussed, and numerous forms for their administration given. 142, Snow-Hill, Birmingham ; September 20, 1839.
