    In offering the Second Edition of this volume to the Profession, the Author woukl state that he has endeavored to make such alterations and correc- tions as the present state of our knowledge of Diph- theria demands, and has expunged and modified other portions of the work'according to the experi- ence of the best practitioners of the Homoeopathic School. A considerable number of pages, treating of the Surgical management of Diphtheria, have been omitted, and their place supplied with other matter which will probably be of more service to the generality of practitioners ; enough, however, has been allowed to remain to give the reader an idea of the utility of such means and the opinions of others as to their expediency. The whole chap- ter on the '^Treatment,'^ has been re-modeled, and all the newer medicines been a<:lded to the list of remedial agents which have been found serviceable in the affection. Sections on the Manner of Re- covery, and Manner of Death, with some hints as to the further Pathology, have been incorporated with the text. With such modifications and corrections, the Au- thor would again claim the indulgence of his pro- fessional friends, for the many imperfections of this treatise, relying, in a measure, on the favor with which the first edition has been received, and trusting that what has been added w^ill increase the usefulness and practical value of the work.
