    pages of the ' Practitioner' and the ' Lancet,' in the form of abstracts of lectures given at Charing Cross Hospital, but by far the greater part has been written expressly for this volume. '.A considei'able space has been devoted to the treatment of aneurism by galvano-puncture, because the Author feels that a full discussion of a mode of treatment which may be said to be still upon its trial cannot but prove interesting and useful. Some apology is necessary for the great length at which the subject of 'fatigue diseases' is treated, but the Author was naturally anxious to state fully his views on a matter which seems to him of no small importance. The Author has been very largely indebted to the works of others, but he has purposely omitted foot-notes and references as much as possible. The writings of Ziemssen, Duchenne, Reynolds, Mayer, Morgan, Tripier, Cyon, Althaus, Tibbitts, Benedict, Walter Smith, Lincoln, Bryant, RadclifFe, Anstie, Buzzard, Bastian, and very many others, have been freely laid under contribution. To Messrs. Weiss, and Messrs. Mayer and Meltzer, who have kindly furnished some of the wood-cuts, the author begs to tender his best thanks. 30 WiMPOLE Strubt, W. : January 1876.
