Excerpt from Indigestion; The Diagnosis and Treatment of the Functional Derangements of the Stomach: With an Appendix on the Preparation of Food by Cooking With Especial Reference to Its Use in the Treatment of Affections of the Stomach IN revising this edition for the press, it has been found necessary to practically rewrite the whole book, owing to the advances which have been made in this field of medical work during the considerable time that it has been out of print. In its present form it is hoped that it may better serve the purposes for which it was originally intended, and that it may prove useful both as a guide to the young medical man in the management of that large part of his daily work which consists of the functional derangements of digestion, and as an introduction to the larger monographs, should he have the time or inclination for the further special study of the subject. An attempt has also been made to further increase the usefulness of the book by the introduction of a section dealing with the cookery of the food prescribed for the dyspeptic, a subject of importance both to physician and patient.
