Inflammations of the Liver, and Their Sequelae

Excerpt from Inflammations of the Liver, and Their Sequelae: Atrophy, Cirrhosis, Ascites, Haemorrhages, Apoplexy, and Hepatic Abscesses The chapters on hepatitis and abscesses, including their causation, diagnosis, and treatment, were pub -lished in the Medical Press and Circular during the months of January and February, and the first week ~of March of this year. Whereas, those on atrophy, cirrhosis, ascites, and haemorrhages, now appear for the first time, Thus freighted the livraison is launched on the ever changing ocean of medical credence. Where, although perchance, like many other books Of a similar character, from its contain ing a series of practical as well as theoretical innova tions, it may be destined for a time to be tossed amid the stormy billows of controversy, and not impro bably, even, have to run the gauntlet of the ire of ignorance. From the writer being neither in the -habit of promulgating doctrines before they have undergone careful consideration, nor putting forth ideas he does not himself believe in, he is sanguine enough to imagine that those herein embodied will not alone be able to hold their ground, but will, in due course, safely reach the calm haven of acceptance.
