Excerpt from Medical Notes and Essays

Of the many papers, on diverse professional subjects, which I have published during the past years, and which may for the most part be found scattered through the various medical journals, I have thought that some at least might be of sufficient value or interest to justify their re-publication, - with such amplifications and additions as subsequent experience and reading may have suggested and rendered appropriate. None of them can pretend to be treatises on their respective subjects: they can claim nothing but to be the outcome of much thought, and of observations founded upon a large local experience extending over many years. As such, I venture to introduce them in a collected form to the notice of the profession; the first, as will be seen, being on the subject of Diphtheria, with special reference to this disease as witnessed in this district.

As to the extent and consequent value of such experience as is here expressed, it may be urged that the experience of a consulting physician as to any given disease is really of far wider scope than would at first appear, judging from the actual number of cases which he may himself have seen.
