LIBRARY 13833 NEW YORK: D. APPLETON & COMPANY, 549 & 551 BROADWAY. 1874. B Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1874, BY D. APPLETON & CO., In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. 1736 H85 1874 PREFACE. MARKED changes in the breath have heretofore received little consideration from the profession. Our medical text-books contain scarcely an allusion to their existence. I have endeavored, in the following pages, to give a succinct account of the diseased conditions in which a fetid breath is the most important feature. The principal facts detailed concerning the production of the offensive odors are the results obtained from personal investigations, conducted both in private practice and in our city hospitals. 36 WEST TWENTY-FOURTH ST., September 1874.
