Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lettsomian Lectures Delivered at the Medical Society of London, 1872, on the Pathology and Treatment of Some Diseases of the Liver These Lectures having been for some time out of print, I have ventured again to ofier them to the notice of the profession. Some additions and cor rections have been made, but the Lectures are sub stantially the same. Many years of extended expe rience in the diagnosis and treatment of Diseases of the Liver have more firmly impressed upon my mind the fact, that functional disturbances of the liver take place without direct interference with the bile ducts, and that the nervous system in its influence upon the physiological action of the liver is a fertile source of disease. In some of these maladies there may be no jaundice produced, but possibly abnormal pallor. The advance of medical science has shown that the old-fashioned blue pill and black draught, although often very serviceable, do not reach many diseases which are due to the imperfect action of the liver. We have not attempted to enlarge the work into a treatise on diseases of the liver, and many of the affections of this important gland are only very briefly alluded to neither have we ventured to illustrate our Opinions by instances that have come under our own notice, as it would have increased the book in a manner that we did not contemplate. It has rather been the object to State some of the deductions brought before the mind during years of clinical observation.
