    TO THE READER. This Treatise was originally written with the intention of having it read before the Fellows of the Royal Medico- Chirurgical Society. This ar- rangement was frustrated; but the learned Council honoured me by publishing an abstract of the Treatise in the Proceedings of the Society. Having considered that a certain value is justly attached to cases observed in the field, I thought it would be a pity that all record of the cases which had passed under my own care should be lost. I present the cases, with observations, to my professional brethren as an instalment only, to be added to, amended, and improved by future and more talented observers, when again is sounded War's deadlv blast.
