PREFACE.

WITH this third volume we begin to see the end of our task. As far as we can estimate, vol. iv will not only complete our alphabetical series of drugs, but will leave space for the Index. How this shall be framed is a subject closely occupying our thoughts; and we invite regarding it the suggestions of our colleagues.

ance.

There is another matter also in which we should be glad of assistWe have given no Appendix in the present volume, that all the supplementary material we have in hand may appear in one collection at the close of the main body of the pathogeneses. To aid us in making this complete, we should be very thankful for any references across which our colleagues may have come in their reading,-still more for actual observations, in print or manuscript, which we can incorporate with our own store.

In sending out the present volume, we have again to acknowledge with gratitude the aid we have received, both from those already named as our fellow-workers, and from fresh recruits-among whom we may specially mention Dr. Clifton, of Northampton, and Dr. E. A. Neatby,

of London.

For the Austrian re-proving of Natrum muriaticum, Dr. Galloway has kindly allowed us to make use of his translation, prepared many years ago for the Hahnemann Publishing Society, but never printed.

We are indebted to Dr. Huber's collection for much of what is found under Mercury and its preparations; to Dr. Sorge's prize essay on Phosphorus for several of the sections on that drug; and to Dr. Black's contributions to the Materia Medica, Physiological and Applied, for a number of observations relative to Nux vomica and Plumbum.
