SIEVEKING, M.D., FELLOW OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS, ASSISTANT PHYSICIAN TO, AND LECTURER Entered according to the Act of Congress, in the year 1854, by BLANCHARD AND LEA, in the Office of the Clerk of the District Court of the United States, in and for PHILADELPHIA: T. K. AND P. G. COLLINS, PRINTERS. J77 1854 PUBLISHERS' ADVERTISEMENT. In a work like the present, intended as a text-book for the student of pathology, accurate engravings of the various results of morbid action are of the greatest assistance. The publishers have, therefore, considered that the value of the work might be enhanced by increasing the number of illustrations, and, with this object, many wood-cuts, from the best authorities, have been introduced, increasing the number from 167, in the London edition, to 397 in this. In the list of illus trations, these additional cuts will be found distinguished by an asterisk (*) from those for which the authors are alone responsible. The selection of these wood-cuts has been made by a competent member of the profession, who has supervised the progress of the work through the press, with the view of securing an accurate reprint, and of correcting such errors as had escaped the attention of the authors. He has also added, at page 197, an account of the interesting microscopical observations of Dr. Donaldson, of Baltimore, on the characteristics of the true cancer-cell. PHILADELPHIA, November 1854. |
