    In preparing the fourth edition of this Manual, the whole work has been very carefully revised, and brought, as far as possible, up to date. In the section on specific infectious diseases, I have endeavoured to represent the latest views and discoveries; and the questions of immunity, protective inoculation, and anti- toxines have received attention. The necessity for a more general study of Tropical Diseases has been recognized, and chapters on Mediterranean fever, Beri-beri, and Framboesia have been added, together with a fuller account of the micro- organisms of malarial disease. I must here acknowledge the aid I have received from Dr. Davidson's Hygiene and Diseases of Warm Climates. The subject of Appendicitis has been largely re-written, and chapters have been introduced on Acromegaly and Mycosis fungoides. I have sought to facilitate the study of some spinal diseases by the addition of illustrations showing the position of the lesions-; and I am indebted to Professor Sherrington and to Dr. Newton Pitt for permission to copy figures published by them.
