Excerpt from Diseases of the Lungs, Heart and Kidneys This volume comprises a part of the topics lectured upon by me for several years in the Chicago Medical College. They have been elaborated from my lecture notes. It has been my endeavor to describe as clearly, concisely, and fully as possible the subjects of this book. I have avoided controversial topics, and may sometimes have erred by stating positively what is rather probably than positivelv true. I have tried to make the subject of treatment especially full, 'and have endeavored to give explicit directions as to the time when individual drugs should be used, the exact indica tions for them, and their modeof action in each disease. In order to prevent repetitions when the mode of action of drugs was the same in several allied diseases this fact is stated, and the details of action must be learned from the description of the first of the allied maladies.
