    PUBLISHER'S NOTE SECOND AMERICAN EDITION The present work is founded upon Dr. F. De Havilland Hall's Synopsis of the Diseases of the Larynx, Lungs, and Heart. The plan adopted by De. Hall has, however, been extended to embrace all the more frequent and important diseases. In the preface to the first American edition the editor stated that he had held especially in view (1) the early and often overlooked signs of the presence of disease; (2) the collection of whatever symptoms are alleged on good authority to be pathognomonic of pathological conditions; (3) any peculiar features which diseases have been found to present in this country. Preference has been given to American over European authorities, as every year adds confirmation to the opinion, now widely received, that diseased conditions assume very different aspects under dif- ferent climatic and sociological surroundings. As the editor of the first edition could not revise the present one, the publisher was fortunate enough to complete an arrangement with De. Feank Woodbuey to give it a thorough revision, and to add to it what was lacking to make it a complete work within the limits which it aims to cover.
