Riassunto

Excerpt from New Eclectic Medical Practice, Vol. 1: Designed for Students and Practitioners

The author is not aware that an urgent demand has existed for the publication of this book. Indeed, it was not prepared with the impression that the profession was in urgent need of it, or that it would prove a remarkable innovation in the medical world. Medical men will come and go and the world will move on, after these pages have passed into forgetfulness; and time will chroui cle a newer practice - doubtless a better one - when the years have marked the inevitable progress of events.

The students of the California Medical College, to whom the author has been something of an authority on practice for the past sixteen years, have frequently importuned him to publish a work which would embody the substance of his lectures, that a text book for ready reference might be had. To satisfy this demand the present volume was begun several years ago. Other duties, however, have delayed the work, and the prospects of its completion at an early date were so poor that at the request of several mem bers of the Class of '99 a first volume has been published, the second to follow within the coming two years.

Special pains have been taken in the preparation of the text to dwell on the description of disease, that there may be no need of frequent reference to allopathic works for points on etiology, pathology, symptoms, diagnosis and prognosis. At the same time, it has been the author's aim to render the book as complete as pos sible on that which has been the peculiar merit of Eclectic works on practice in the past, treatment.
