    thode de nomenclature chimique. Memoire sur la necessite de reformer la nomenclature de la chimie, lu a I'Assemble publique de TAcade- mie Royale des Sciences du i8 Avril 1787. This precious and probably rare book I found in the New York Academy of Medicine. It had formerly belonged to the library of the New York Hospital. Some of my readers will be pleased to have their attention called to it. In writing the chapter on the Physiology and Chemistry of Respiration I availed myself of Hammarsten, Lehrbuch der physiologischen Chemie. Several chapters are to some extent a reproduction of papers published by me dur- ing the last twenty-two years. The observations on the value of carbonic acid in dysentery, rhi- nitis, vomiting in pregnancy, and the solution of the problem of curing rectal fistula without operation I am confident will be confirmed in time, in spite of misocainia, with which we have to reckon when presenting a new subject. I desire to express my gratitude first of all to Dr. E. C. Dent, the Medical Superintendent of Manhattan State Hospital, Wards Island, [iv]
