Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Therapeutics of the Respiratory Passages This book is not intended as a manual for students - it is hoped, indeed, that senior students as well as practitioners may peruse it with profit - but it is mainly intended for those who have left the schools and entered upon the responsibilities of practice. Such readers, having no longer the fear of examiners before them, may be interested in points upon which they would not otherwise dare to spend their time. No doubt many faults will be found by critical readers, but not more than those of which the writer is sufficiently conscious. Some portions may be found too diffuse, others too condensed, and those who only refer to a question here and there may fail to see the connection between them, or perhaps to find that which they seek. Those who read the book through will not fail to discover the thread on which I have strung my beads - observe, I do not call them pearls. But as few may do this, it may not be amiss to say that there is a distinct purpose in the work, and it is with "malice aforethought" that some portions have been so extended and others so contracted. Such as it is I commit this production to the candid consideration of my professional brethren, who have heretofore received my writings with so much favor.
