Excerpt from On Consumption: Its Nature, Symptoms and Treatment
Circumstances altogether beyond control have much delayed the appearance of a second edition of this work; but the delay is, perhaps, scarcely to be regretted, since it has afforded further opportunities of testing the soundness of the various points previously advocated, and of collecting additional information.
Although I have found little, if anything, to retract from the first edition, longer experience has enabled me to enlarge upon some of the subjects. The present edition, therefore, consists of the former one carefully revised, and in many parts extended; and, like it, professes to be strictly of a practical character.
