Excerpt from The Diseases of Sedentary and Advanced Life: A Work for Medical and Lay Readers
This work is written to fill a gap in medical literature. The diseases of Sedentary and Advanced Life lie a little outside and beyond the ordinary Text-Books of Practice of Physic. As such a work is certain to be read by lay-readers, the fact has not been forgotten. There is much which intelligent lay-readers may wish to know - and which, indeed, it is desirable they should know, if they knew where to lay their hand upon it - in this work. But the work is not written for them: but rather for older medical men who have dropped behind in their reading; and younger men who, on encountering the actual difficulties of practice, find their hospital training not quite a complete equipment. The writer, too - such is human vanity - ventures to think that in this work an aspect of disease is presented which is not always kept sufficiently in view; and which will make the work acceptable even to some well-read members of the profession.
