Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Functional and Structural Changes of the Liver, in the Progress of Disease: And on the Agency Hepatic Derangement in Producing Other Disorder, With Numerous Cases, Exhibiting the Invasion, Symptoms, Progress, and Treatment of Hepatic Disease in India
Several works treating of Hepatic Diseases, and especially those that have appeared since the com mencement of the present century, have furnished instances of Abscess of the Liver without the symp toms usually indicative, either oi antecedent in flammatory action, or of existing suppuration and have thereby shown, that structural changes of this organ are not characterised {by the phenomena which indicate the presence of these lesions in other viscera. This peculiarity necessarily depends upon the organization, the anatomical connexions, the functions, and the physiological relations of_ the liver. In the work I now place before the medical public, I have 'endeavoured to contribute the results of experience acquired during twenty years, in which I have been, almost daily, more or less occupied in treating diseases of this organ, especially as they present themselves in Europeans.
