The following Lectures are published, in the hope that they will be found a brief but complete account of what is at present known concerning the Diseases of the Stomach. Fifteen years ago, the death of a near relative painfully impressed me with the obscurity and uncertainty which peculiarly attach to the maladies of the Abdominal Viscera. From that time I have given to these maladies whatever attention could be justifiably devoted to a special group of diseases by a student and practitioner of Physic in general. Of the materials I have thus collected, those which form the basis of the following Lectures are derived from sources so various, as to render the concord equally important with the number of the facts they represent. To the large opportunities afforded me, during twelve years, as a Dispensary and Hospital Physician, I have added whatever could be gleaned by me from a field of observation, the magnitude of which it is difl Scult to estimate. The Hospitals and Museums of various cities; the cases recorded by authors of various epochs and countries; and especially, the stores of information which are gradually accumulating in the Journals, Reviews, and Transactions of the Medical Profession in the more civilized parts of the world have all been laid under contribution; and have yielded me facts which (considering the price of human suffering paid for Pathological knowledge) deserve a respect and attention I sincerely disclaim for the manner in which I have arranged and used them. To this general acknowledgment I must add my special thanks to numerous professional friends, and to hundreds of observers whose smaller contributions could not be separately quoted in the following Lectures.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written by the author of the acclaimed "The Physiology of Digestion," represents one of the earliest attempts to cohesively analyze the maladies of the digestive tract. Published in 1858, it was shaped by the author's fifteen years of study of the abdominal viscera. Pulling from his personal clinical and experimental observations, as well as synthesizing contemporary literature from across the globe, the author sought to provide a comprehensive study of gastric diseases, both for medical practitioners and students. The book's introduction outlines the challenges of studying abdominal maladies, while consecutive chapters describe the methods then used to examine the stomach after death. The text then progresses to a discussion of the conditions that can affect the stomach itself, such as gastritis, ulceration, and tumors, exploring their symptoms, causes, and treatments. The final chapters of the text cover dyspepsia and other functional conditions believed to arise from disordered gastric activity. This book is important as an early, comprehensive attempt to categorize and describe a complex group of conditions that were not well understood at the time. The author's work provided a foundation for future research and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.
