Excerpt from Contributions to Practical Medicine In five years, since the middle of 1886, a large edition of Contributions to Practical Medicine has become exhausted. In the present second edition I have revised and corrected every page of the first, by whatever experience I have been able to gather during twenty-five years of busy practice in treating the sick. I have added two new essays. The first is upon the treatment of gastralgia, and it was published originally in The Lancet, in 1887, the second deals with my researches concerning the use of ether as a menstruum in medicationeby the skin, and includes the substance of my communications upon this subject to The Lancet, last year. Throughout this little book I have aimed at utility in medical practice, and I have tried to observe the brevity of detail and expression which seems fitting in a time when there is no end of making books. If there be in these pages many wide gaps and much literary incompleteness, I can only plead the pressure of daily clinical work, and rely upon the generous judg ment of my professional brethren.
