Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Asclepiad, Vol. 8: A Book of Original Research and Observation in the Science, Art, and Literature of Medicine, Preventive and Curative In this volume of the Asclepiad, in addition to other contributions, three special essays have been introduced - namely, on Peroxide of Hydrogen; National Main Drainage; and The Cerebrospinal Axis as a Thermal Centre and Water Power. I had intended, in commencing the first of these essays, to complete it in two parts; but such was the interest taken by readers in it, I have carried it through the four parts, and have left, I trust, a fair practical representation of what may be said, up to the present time, on a very important therapeutical topic. The second essay, on National Main Drainage, has become matter of so much public interest, outside the lines of physic, that a separate publication is called for, and some hope is breaking that the scheme proposed may take, before long, a practical form. The last essay, on the Cerebrospinal Axis, is that on which my mind has been most occupied during the year. It is the principal effort of the present volume, and calls for continuous and anxious labour in the future. I am much honoured by the many requests sent me to extend the review department of the Asclepiad. The fact indicates a degree of confidence in my work which is as gratifying as it is reassuring.
