Jaccoud, the eminent Professor of the Ecole de Medecine, Paris, is generally recognized on the continent as one of the best authorities on pulmonary phthisis, and it has been thought that an English edition of his work would be acceptable to those interested in the subject. His views are stated with so much clearness and the reasons for their existence so fully set forth in the work itself, that it is scarcely necessary to say anything by way of introduction. I may, however, perhaps add a few words; firstly, with reference to the pathology of the disease; secondly, from the fact that the bacillus, whose presence is regarded by many as the characteristic, and even the cause, of tuberculosis, was only discovered by Dr. Robert Koch in 1882, namely, at a date subsequent to the publication of this book. With respect to the pathology of pulmonary phthisis, the author's ideas, though analogous to those which have been and are still held by many of the best authorities, are expressed in terms which necessitate a knowledge of the different opinions expressed in recent years upon this subject.
