    solicits the candid criticism of those who may do him the honor to peruse these pages, trusting tliat he may have the privilege of correcting in future e(htions such errors as may have escaped attention in this, and to record sucli new facts as future experience and research may develop. In conclusion, I must not omit to express my obligations and gratitude to my colleagues of the faculty of the Battle Creek Sanitarium, and of the American Medical Missionary College, particularly Drs. David Paulson, Chas. E. Stewart, George Thomason, and Elmer Otis, for invaluable assistance in abstracting the stenographic notes of my lectures to med- ical classes, and for supervising and personally conducting experimental work, and to Dr. Eshelman for assistance in preparing an exhaustive index. I have also profited by the experience of my friends and colleagues for many years, Drs. Lindsay, Riley, Kress, Rand, and others, and owe much to the patient and painstaking work of a large number of my students in the experimental laboratory. I am also under obligations to my friend, Alois Strasser, M.D., assistant Pro- fessor in the Medical Department of the Royal and Imperial University of Vienna, for painstaking revision of the proof sheets and for numerous valuable suggestions. Most of all I am indebted to my friend of many years. Dr. W. W. Win- ternitz, Professor of Nervous Diseases in the Medical De- partment of the Royal and Imperial University of Vienna, to whose laborious investigations and acute observations the world is indebted more than to any other living man for the scientific data upon which modern rational hydrotherapy is based, and to whom I am proud to have permission to dedi- cate this volume.
