    symptoms which these patients present, should be omitted from current text-books. As a result of this, not only do many curable patients go unrelieved, but a good number have recourse to charlatans. In preparing these lectures for the press the details of the cases have been considerably amplified, their number supplemented, and the whole has been carefully revised as it passed through the press. Exception may be taken to an absence of reference to the views and works of others. But these lectures do not aim at being anything more than a record of personal experience. The omission—if the absence of such references can be counted an omission in clinical lectures—is remedied to some extent by an Addendum and Bibliography, which has been prepared, under my supervision, by Miss Agnes Blackadder, M.D., to whom I am also indebted for valuable assistance in the work of revision. Without her aid they would probably not have seen the light for many years to come. Upper Berkeley Street, W. March, 1899.
