THE work I now lay eer the public is materially different from al] those which have preceded it on the same subject: it is neither devoted chiefly to the consideration of pathological changes, like that of Dr. Abercrombie, nor is it limited to one class of primary morbid states. The subject of organic disease, in itself, ‘has never appeared to me so important as that of the pri- mary conditions which precede it, which, by their continuance through a series of years, ultimately mduce incurable affections, either in the organs where they are seated, or, by sympathy, in remote parts. In a practical point of view, the latter is of infi- nitely greater importance than the former. | It is from this circumstance that I have devoted the following treatise principally to the consideration of the primary morbid conditions of the stomach, and the diseases they induce, by sym- primary morbid conditions of the stomach may be referred to two classes : 1. Congestive or inflammatory states ; and, 2. Affections of its sensibility, both organic and animal.
