    PREFACE, The writer hopes that the following pages may be of some service by drawing professional atten- tion to a much neglected, but highly important i subject In Therapeutics. I If a mode of treatment, not generally adopted, ‘I prove eminently useful in the hands of any member of our Profession, he is bound to give the result of his experience for the benefit of all. Any hypothesis which the writer entertains is I offered with all due respect to the opinions of I j scientific brethren who may differ with him; but ^ the facts set forth as the result of his practical } application of the treatment here advised are not I! presented thus deferentially. They afford quite j sufficient evidence that oxygen may be employed i as a valuable medicinal agent. Experimentally convinced of this truth, to advocate it becomes a ^ duty which requires no apology.
