This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The t.ok, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasmg experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altoeether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
as d wed known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so
dosne,,,they were further convinced by feeling that tact i n in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs. putting on all the outer appearances of
eensumrtioo, which, however, when traced to
their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully prswes
