    BURROUGHS WE! LOOMED Cfi PEEFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. Short as is the interval since the appearance of the first edition the subject has made great strides, and where it has not advanced old positions have been very greatly strengthened and consolidated. The chapter list shows new matter on uric acid and meta- bolism, fatigue, astbma and bronchitis, dyspepsia and gout of the intestines, Eaynaud's disease, anaemia, and instruments and methods, this last being written in response to very numerous enquiries on these subjects from readers of the first edition. Then much of the old work has required revi- sion in reference to new discoveries, so that this is a new book and not a mere re-issue of the first edition. In addition to those friends whose names I mentioned in the first edition, whom I now desire to thank once more, I must return my grateful thanks to a large number of fellow- sufferers and fellow-workers for the interest they have taken in the investigation, and for the help they have given me in the shape of notes of their own and other cases. Some of these I have mentioned in the text, but others which I have been unable to mention have yet been of great help in direct- ing my attention to important points. I hope that such fellow-workers may continue to increase, and that they will eventually carry the research far beyond anythiug that it may be in my power to accomplish, as I am more than ever con- vinced that it will repay all their labours.
