Excerpt from Lectures on Diseases of the Digestive Organs, Vol. 1: Lectures on Digestion

Proceeding in this fashion, we shall first have to learn not only a general outline of the knowledge we possess, but also the numerous gaps and defects in it, for in order to obtain a clear insight into a subject, the knowledge of our deficiencies is the first step towards progress.

Let us then see what is understood by the term Digestion.

Excerpt from Lectures on Diseases of the Digestive Organs, Vol. 1: Lectures on Digestion

The publication of a work by the New Sydenham Society indicates such a kindly appreciation of its merits by eminent members of our profession, and is such an honourable recognition of the author, that it is his first and plainest duty to give expression to his sincere thanks and gratification at the distinction shown to him. Whilst I do this with all my heart, I hope that the reception of these "Lectures on Diseases of the Digestive Organs" may be as favourable in England as elsewhere. I was not led to concern myself with the disorders of digestion by clinical study. My way led through physiology, and when, in 1879, I published the first edition of the first part of these lectures, the diseases of the digestive organs were just beginning to be studied by means of new methods of investigation. I happened to take a modest share in this work, and half against my will I gathered a large practical experience. The "Diseases of the Stomach" is a review of these methods, and a statement of their pathognostic, diagnostic, and therapeutic results. The investigators in this field are still enthusiastic in their work, and in the two years which have passed since the publication of the second German edition of this part, many questions have been cleared up, which then were in the midst of discussion, and much that is new has been added. I have endeavoured to remedy this by making short additions to the text, and I owe special thanks to Dr. Saundby for the great care he has devoted to his excellent translation.
