tiously eschews the use of pedantic language, he talks
like a man of common sense addressing men of com-
mon sense, and in a plain and understandable manner
shows the causes and the consequences of these dis-
eases, and points out the best course to be adopted to
remove those] causes and to obviate those conse-
quences. An enthusiastic disciple of the late John
Abernethy, the greatest medical genius of the nine-
teenth century, and the first man who ever studied
medical science by the light of common sense, Dr.
Rowe has steadily adhered to the principles laid down
by that great man, and as shown in these pages, has
carried them out with a success almost unprecedented.
The mantle of John Abernethy has fallen on George
Robert Rowe, and he wears it worthily.
