gistic, antiphthisical, and palliative. Having sketched the kind of antiphlogistic treatment required in the inflammatory forms or complications of the disease, I have taken into consideration the remedies which can be called antiphthisical, including cod-liver oil, tonics, and antiseptics. The chapter on Palliative Treatment, and those on diet, regimen, and climate in Pulmonary Consumption, I have left to my son, whose experience at the Brompton Hospital, as well as taking charge of my patients in my absence, and whose familiarity with the best climates for invalids, well qualify him for the work.

It remains for me only to bespeak the indulgence of our readers on account of many shortcomings and defects in the execution of this work. It does not profess to be a complete treatise on its subject, nor to record all the labours and opinions of others. Its chief purpose is to communicate the experience and reasonings of a long life largely occupied in the study and treatment of Pulmonary Consumption.
