    judgment dispassionatelj by means of the results of mj personal ex- amination, experience, and opinion. But nothing is better adapted to prevent overvaluation of our modern acquisitions than a study of the older writers, especially those of the first half of the present century, in the literature of which an abundance of splendid prac- tical observations has been stored up. I must not neglect, however, to acknowledge to what great extent we are especially indebted to Kussmaul and Leube, who so successfully inaugurated the new era in the investigations on the diseases of the stomach. In these lectures no attention has been paid to the digestive dis- orders of children, in so far as they occur independently and pecul- iarly in them ; neither has gastromalacia been considered as a sepa- rate lesion—the former, because there is no lack of splendid and complete works on the diseases of children; the latter, because softening of the stomach is more interesting from a pathological standpoint than it is in its anatomical aspects; while, moreover, its claims to be included among the diseases of the stomach seem more than doubtful. I am indebted to my brother. Prof. Richard Ewald, of Stras- burg, for the comprehensive review of the innervation of the stomach. The illustrations, except Vt^here otherwise stated, have been drawn by myself from original specimens. May this, the second and pathological po^^tion of the KliniJc der Verdamingskrmikheiten, enjoy the same friendly and favorable re- ception which was accorded to the first part! This would lie an in- ducement to me to publish at an early date the third part, which shall treat of the diseases of the intestines. ^ . _^ C. A. Ewald. Berlin, WMtsuntide, 1SS8.
