Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pathological and Practical: Observations on Diseases of the Alimentary Canal, Oesophagus, Stomach, Caecum, and Intestines Diseases of the Stomach have, during the last few years, received considerable attention, and our medical literature has been enriched by the labours of Budd, Handheld Jones, Chambers, Brinton, and others. Much, however, still remains to be done; and whilst some of the facts contained in the present volume will tend to confirm what is already known, other new ones will be found which, we trust, will repay an attentive perusal of its pages. The greater part of the facts recorded in the chapters on diseases of the oesophagus, and on organic diseases of the stomach, have already appeared in the pages of the G-uy's Reports for 1855 and 1856; and those in connection with diseases of the inteatine were intended originally to be printed at the same time; such was found to be impossible, on account of the limited space allowed to each contributor. It has been designed to illustrate the diseases treated upon, by cases which have come under our personal observation, with a few remarks upon them, and some general deductions. During the period of our curatorship of the Museum at Guy's, and demonstratorship of Morbid Anatomy for several years, very numerous opportunities were presented of noticing these diseased conditions in their varied phases; and we would tender our sincere thanks to those colleagues who have permitted the mention of instances under their care. Although we have sought definitely to distinguish some marked classes of diseased conditions, we should be very unwilling to regard them as entities superadded to the human frame, but rather, to quote the words of Sir John Forbes, "as new phases of vital manifestations."
