Excerpt from The Liver: And Its Diseases; Both Functional and Organic; Their History, Anatomy, Chemistry, Pathology, Physiology, and Treatment

A portion of the materials of which this volume is composed has appeared from time to time in the pages of the "Homoeopathic World," and from the flattering communications which I have received from some of of my colleagues in England, as well as in the United States of America, relative to the practical bearing of the subject on which it treats, has induced me to publish it in the form now presented to the reader.

In undertaking this task I have kept prominently in view that familiar phrase "brevity is the soul of wit," consequently I have endeavoured to concentrate into the smallest possible compass, compatible with the scope and usefulness of the work, - the history, anatomy, chemistry, pathology, physiology, and treatment, both allopathic and homoeopathic, of each disease.

The sections referring to allopathy, or the so-called "orthodox doctrine of medicine," are simply introduced by way of contrast, from which it is hoped the general reader may derive food for thought, and weapons for fair arguments and well balanced comparisons.
