    EDITION. The changes iu the present Edition are mainly those of addition, and the Editor hopes that the selection of several new words and phrases, more particularly those relating to bacteriology, will render the work even more useful than it has been in the past. The Greek k has been invariably rendered by the letter c, except where general usage has accepted the letter k, as for instance in kinetic, keratitis, &c.; to paragraphs in which occur the names of celebrated physicians, surgeons, anatomists, &c., are appended the periods ditting which they lived. Free use has been made of the new Dictionary now being brought out by the Sydenham Society, of Mayne's Lexicon, of the National Medical Dictionary by Billings, of Gould's Medical Dictionary, and of Crookshank's work on Bacteriology, and such help has been acknowledged in the text. The Editor further wishes to record his great in- debtedness to his friend Dr Ashby, the Medical Officer of Health for Reading, for his many suggestions and valuable help in the preparation of tliis Edition. 124 Castle Stheet, Reading, May, 1899.
