    In issuing the second edition of the only volume which, up to the present time, has presented, in concrete form, the system of cardio-therapy which August and Theodor Schott have evolved from prin- ciples first proclaimed by Stokes, I desire to express my thaoks for the generous appreciation with which the first edition has been received, alike by friends and strangers in the profession of Medicine, and also the deep satisfaction with which it is now possible to view the increasing favour which is accorded to a novel, but potent, therapeutic expedient by those whose mission it is to relieve disease and suffering. The few months which have passed since these pages were first given to the medical profession have not dimiuished the confidence in the methods of which they treat, which then emboldened me to advocate a new departure. Happily, what are known as the Schott Methods promise soon to become an acknow- ledged and accepted medical practice. W. BEZLY THOENE. -53, Upper Brook Street, London, W., February, 1896.
