Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Clinical Lectures on Diseases of the Liver, Jaundice and Abdominal Dropsy: Including the Croonian Lectures on Functional Derangements of the Liver, Delivered at the Royal College of Physicians in 1874
These lectures were originally delivered to the students of the Middlesex Hospital, and the first four have already, in part, appeared in the pages of the Lancet.' It is hoped that their publication in the present form may be useful not merely to those for whom they were originally intended, but likewise to other members of the Medical Profession.
It is not their object to set forth a complete account of the diseases of which they treat, but rather to put prominently forward the leading characters on which the diagnosis of these diseases mainly depends, and, in particular, to determine the diagnostic import of those signs and symptoms - such as enlargement of the liver, jaundice, dropsy, and pain - which are com mon to many different hepatic disorders, but the precise cause of which is too often unrecognized.
