My dear Sir A stley, Two motives influence me in placing your distinguished name in (he front of the book which I now publish. I have the vanity to wish it to be known that I am honoured with your friendship; and I cannot neglect the only opportunity that may ever present itself of paying such tribute as I have to ofler not merely to the highest professional station and celebrity, but to a juster object of admiration: that zeal in the cultivation of science which has outlived, in you, all the ordinary incentives to human industry. Enjoying a splendid fortune, and an undisputed precedence, you have nothing further in wealth or eminence to desire. In such circumstances, (he world can ascribe your unabated ardour and energy in those fields of enquiry, where you have already had such brilliant success, to nothing but the purest love of truth, and the virtuous ambition of promoting the interests of humanity. An example such as you set will always have more admirers than imitators: amongst the former permit me to claim a high place; and believe me, My dear Sir A stley, With these and every other sentiment of regard and respect, Your devoted friend and servant, ABRAHAM COLLES. Stephen s Green, Dublin, 20th Jan.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book centers on the use of mercury in the treatment of venereal diseases from the late 18th and early 19th century. Despite the availability of a treatment for three hundred years, the author finds the medical community of his time to be greatly divided on proper treatment, with little consensus on the best way to combat the disease. The author's main goal is to provide a more structured approach to the use of mercury, describing how to administer it, and outlining the ways in which it can aid and potentially harm the body. The book also delineates important historical and scientific information about the disease, including the theories on its natural history and its potential modes of transmission. Overall, this book provides a wealth of practical and theoretical knowledge about the treatment of venereal disease from the perspective of a practitioner at the forefront of his field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
