![PREFACE. pyoliEemia, and its diatinction from ],blel.iti.s ; the nature an. diagnosis of organic and inorganic substances which may b present in the urine; the improved modern treatment o aneurism, and of the diseases of the ear and eye; the his tory of lithotrity, and the mode of performing tlie operation a iull investigation of the properties of chloroform, and o the prevention and treatment of accidents which may aris. from it; a revision throughout of the constitutional treatmen of local disease, and the improvement of the prescription! which form an Appendix to the Work. These may be taker as specimens of the subjects that are more fully and clcarl} treated of; and it will be found that not only is then throughout a careful revision of tlie old matter, but tha^ many entire sections are absolutely new. It would scarcely be possible, in the limits of a preface, foi rae to make due aclmowledgment to the numerous kind friends in various parts of the world—I may truly say from China to Peru—who in various ways have assisted me in my labom-s, by many a friendly suggestion and word of encou- ragement. But I cannot omit to mention Professors Partridge and Fergusson, Mr. Henry Lee, Dr. Beale, and the othei medical Professors of King's College, a school to which m\ | ' early associations and subsequent familiarity bind me with ties of especial regard. To Mr. Coulson and his colleagues at St. Mary's Hospital; to Mr. Haynes Walton, Mr. Harvey, Dr. Tanner, and Mr. Henry Smith, my pages will show that I am in many ways obliged for valuable information; although they cannot show adequately the personal kindness for which I am still their debtor.
