Excerpt from Diseases of the Kidneys and Nervous System IN presenting this, the sixth and closing part of his work on Internal Medicine, the author does so real izing that although the field is already crowded with treatises upon this subject, yet the reception accorded the former numbers of this series has assured him that they have met a need. They have been prepared for the student and general practitioner, and not for the specialist. At this time the author desires to acknowl edge the many expressions of appreciation of the value of this series that have been accorded it. The author has endeavored to present the facts as he has observed them in his clinics, hospital and private practice, and as a result-oi this observation, the unproven have been omitted, and the verified and practical have been in corporated. For this reason the discussion of theories has been omitted, and for such the reader is referred to a cyclopedia treating of the subject. Special atten tion has been devoted to the subject of diagnosis, dif ferential diagnosis, hygienic and dietetic treatment, as well as the selection of the indicated remedy.
