Excerpt from A System of Medicine, Vol. 6: By Many Writers; Diseases of the Heart and Blood Vessels The contents of this volume - The Diseases of the Heart and Blood vessels - were partly in Volume V. And partly in Volume VI. Of the original edition. The present instalment further differs from Volume VI. In the first edition in not containing the Diseases of Muscles and some of the Diseases of the Nervous System. This change has of course been dictated by the convenience-of having the diseases of special parts of the body inclusively considered in separate volumes.

Excerpt from A System of Medicine, Vol. 5 Blood-supply. - The blood-supply of the liver is of a peculiarly rich character, being a double one; it flows partly through the portal vein, partly through the hepatic artery. Both these vessels enter the liver through its transverse fissure, and along with the biliary ducts their branches occupy the portal canals throughout the liver. The branches of the portal vein ramify between the lobules (inter lobular) and end in a capillary network within the lobule itself. Within the portal canals the branches of the portal vein receive small veins returning the blood distributed by the hepatic artery. The hepatic artery is distributed (a) to the walls of the ducts and vessels and the surrounding connective tissue of the portal canals; (b) to the capsule of the liver; and (c) it finally breaks up bet ween the lobules, supplying blood to the walls of the interlobular blood-vessels and the bile-ducts. Whether it transmits any blood directly to the lobule seems to be doubtful. Within the lobule the capillary network is of the closest description, the capillaries being separated from one another by intervals commonly not larger than the diameter of two liver-cells. In the centre of each lobule the blood is collected into the central (intralobular) branches of the hepatic vein, which in turn collect and form larger branches (sublobular); these in turn merge into the large venous trunks of the hepatic vein, which finally opens into the inferior vena cava. Throughout their course the branches Of the hepatic vein are distinguished by the thinness of their walls.

Excerpt from A System of Medicine, Vol. 1: By Many Writers Again, pathology has not only become intolerant of second hand evidence, but is irresistibly leading us to the study of origins to the study of processes in a disinterested way as an aspect of natural history. It is impressed upon us in the field of Medicine, as in all other fields of knowledge, that to pursue knowledge with a consciously utilitarian end before us is to fail even in our immediate ends. It is as true now as it was two thousand years ago that Wisdom must be sought with a single heart devoted to her love and service.

Excerpt from A System of Medicine, Vol. 9 IN the earlier treatises on medicine diseases of women were included, but were of necessity imperfectly described. Of late years this department of medicine has grown so largely that the Editor of the new System of Medicine found it would be better to deal with it, as a whole, in a volume especially devoted to the subject; in the preparation of this volume I have assisted him as Joint Editor. The advances made within the last few years in Gynaecology are perhaps more remarkable than in any other branch of medicine.
