Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Science and Practice of Medicine, or the Pathology and Therapeutics of Internal Diseases
The preparation of such a work has been long in contemplation, suggested by the requests of students, and their evident want of a text-book to follow the lectures on this subject in the Medical Schools with which the writer has been connected. The task has finally been executed, in compliance with conditional promises made to stu dents, and to numerous practitioners who had formerly attended these schools, and who have expressed a desire to have the substance of the teaching they had received, in a more precise and permanent form. For reference and study. There are other reasons, however, than the partiality and wishes of former and present students, or the wants of prospective ones, which may be adduced to favor the claims of this work to a place, whatever place that may be, in our literature.
