The first seven sections of this volume have been carefully revised,but required no serious alteration. The eighth section required veryextensive changes and additions, due to the great progress of TropicalMedicine in the last fourteen years. The Society is much indebted toDr. Andrew Balfour, C.B., C.M.G., Director-in-Chief of the WellcomeBureau of Scientific Research, who has very kindly revised and extendedthe Medical Hints in the light of his wide experience in the Sudanand in the East during the War.

In the instructions for the use of drugs the word “tablet” has beenused to denote products compressed in the form usually described by aproprietary word that belongs in law only to the products of a particularfirm.
