Excerpt from Pulmonary Consumption, Pneumonia, and Allied Diseases of the Lungs: Their Etiology, Pathology and Treatment, With a Chapter on Physical Diagnosis The sections on the treatment of the diseases which are included in this volume could have been swelled to much larger proportions, if a description of all the measures and agents that have been variously recommended from time to time had been incorporated; but feeling that the greatest degree of wisdom and good do not always emanate from a multitude of counsellors, the author has resolved to make a special effort to commend only those remedies that have proved useful in his own hands. The many thanks of the author are due to Dr. J. H. Hamilton, Professor of Pathology, of Aberdeen University, Scotland, for permission to copy a number of figures from his work, The Pathology of Bronchitis, Catarrhal Pneu monia, and Tubercle.
