Abstract
MEDICAL men will be grateful for this treatise on the treatment of phthisical patients. The first part of the work comprises a general statement on the etiology pathology of phthisis, and the limits of infection; while the second part deals with the special and medicinal treatment of the malady. The contents are largely confined to descriptions of methods of treatment which have been personally used by the author, and results which have come under his own experience; but they, nevertheless, constitute a broad account of the nature and means of combating phthisis, and one which will give physicians brighter views as to the possibility of cure in the disease.
