    THE PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. In preparing the present Edition I have had but few alte- rations to make in the views which I expressed in the former one. My chief work has been that of adding fresh matter, the result of an enlarged experience. The prin- cipal additions are in the therapeutical part of the work— on the treatment of the asthmatic paroxysm by Alcoholic Stimulants,, the value of Iodide of Potassium as a remedy, the therapeutical effects of Chloroform, &c. I have also added some interesting cases of Uterine Asthma, and Asthma dependent on Animal Emanations. The number of Tabulated Cases has been raised from forty-four to two hundred and twenty-three, and represents a mass of facts from which large and safe conclusions may be drawn, and which constitute, in my opinion, one of the most valuable parts of the book. I must not omit to express my obligations to my friend Dr. Halley, for the pains he has taken in helping me to revise the proof sheets as they have passed through the press. 14, Harley Street, Cavendish Square, My 29, 1868.
