Moreover, the teachings of experience in connection with diabetes, which may be pronounced to be absolutely irreconcilable with the prevailing physiological views, not only agree with, but in the strongest manner sup])ort, the doctrine that is in this volume set forth. A life's labour, attended with unceasing laboratory work, has been devoted to the attainment of the knowledge that has been acquired. To the authorities of Guy's Hospital I shall ever feel grateful for the assistance rendered in the cause of science by the provision of laboratory accommodation throughout the period of my association as a member of the acting staff. Since that period I have found in the research laboratories of the Eoyal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons at the Examination Hall everything that could be desired for facilitating my experimental work, and thus promoting advance to the goal that has now been reached. During the many years that my investigations have been carried on I have been assisted by a succession of zealous and able helpers, derived from past students of the lioyal College of Chemistry. Notable amongst the assistants who have rendered me valuable service are Mr. Scard, Mr. Rowntree, and Mr. Siau. It is a pleasing duty to tender this acknowledgment, and it re- mains for me further to say that to Mr. Iiowutree I am, in addition, indebted for painstaking aid in the labour involved in the issue of this work. ■ 35, Grosvenor Street, Grosvenor Srjvn re.
