    PEEFACE. Several yeaes having elapsed since the publication of the first edition of this Manual, it has been necessary to re-write nearly the whole. Some time has also passed since the pub- lication of any work specially devoted to Indian diseases. But recent books on medicine contain chapters treating on tropical maladies much more fully than is to be found in former volumes; and several celebrated Indian medical officers have published important monographs on particular diseases, or on classes of diseases. This modest Manual cannot supersede the study of such volumes. But, as re- marked in the preface to the first edition, it is adapted to the trunk, the cabin, the tent, and the march; and may possibly prove welcome when more bulky works, or when volumes devoted to particular mala'dies, are not at hand. Under this impression a * Compendium,' of diseases generally has been appended.
