    EDITOR'S PREFACE.

The unanimous opinion of the leading medical journals, and the verdict of those who have purchased it, have been to the same effect. The editor, therefore, has felt it a duty to prepare the present edition with as little delay as possible, consistent with a thorough revision, down to the latest date.
