Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
