    PREFACE TO THE THIRTEENTH EDITION In this edition, as in those which have preceded it, the in- dications for the use of drugs in disease are dwelt on rather than the physiological action. The book is, in fact, a work on Clinical Therapeutics. A long interval having elapsed since the last edition, the list of new drugs and of new methods to be considered has been proportionately great, and the difficulty has been to select the tried from the untried. The endeavour has been made to do this however, and at the same time every por- tion of the work has been carefully revised. On the new departure, Serum Therapeutics, a separate chapter has been introduced, and in connection with the Invalid Dietary a short section upon the use of the digestive ferments. In the earlier part of the work a brief reference is made to the Nauheim (Schott) treatment. The index must be consulted for other additions and changes. For the rest, this, the Thirteenth Edition, continues on the same lines as preceding editions, and essentially and above all in its endeavour to make clinical considerations indicate or contra-indicate the employment of remedies. The name of Dr. George Bird has been so long associated with previous editions of this book, that it is a great pleasure to continue this association, and to thank him again for the help which his assistance in the past has rendered in the preparation of this edition also. London, August, 1897. b
