Excerpt from Curiosities of Medical Experience
The rapid sale of the first edition of this work has induced the publisher to reprint it with considerable additions inaless expensive, and more concise form - and the author embraces this opportunity, gratefully to acknowledge the liberality with which it has been received, and the indulgence shown to its many imperfections. At the same time he cannot but regret, that in some quarters it has been surmised that he yielded credence to the many strange relations which he has recorded from various medical works, but which he merely narrated, to show the fallacy even of experience, and the many dangers that may arise from the most ingenious theories and doctrines, in the very ratio of their apparent plausibility.
Although these sketches were not intended for the profession, yet they may prove of some utility to the pupil who commences the arduous study of medicine.
