Preface.
In the following pages I have attempted to bring together from the pens ofseveral authors who have written expressly for this book, the moreinteresting phases of the history, literature, folk-lore, etc., of themedical profession.
If the same welcome be given to this work as was accorded to those I havepreviously produced, my labours will not have been in vain.
