Excerpt from Lectures on the Principles and Practice of Medicine: Delivered in Chicago Medical College, Medical Department of the Northwestern University The lectures comprised in this volume, embrace substantially the course of instruction on the principles and practice of medicine given by me in the Medical Department of the Northwestern University, better known as the Chicago Medical College. My method of lecturing being entirely extempore, the lectures comprising the first half of the volume, under the heads of Principles of Medicine and Acute General Diseases, were origi nally reported by Leander Stone, stenographer; and those comprising the rest of the volume, by James E. Henderson, M. D. All the manuscript has been fully revised, and not' a small portion re-written by me in the midst of so great an amount of other professional and literary work, that it has been impossible to bestow upon it sufficient minuteness of attention to avoid all errors in typography and modes of expression.
