Excerpt from A Treatise on the Function of Digestion: Its Disorders, and Their Treatment

But little more than a year had elapsed from the first appearance of this work when I received an in timation from my publishers that a second edition was required. I was then occupied in preparing a second edition of my work on Diabetes, and I pur posed as soon as this should be completed, writing an article on Food, to be added to the contents of the present volume. Finding, however, upon mapping out what I designed undertaking, that from recent discoveries so vast a field for discussion was thrown open, and that what would have to be said would carry me far beyond the space I had originally al lotted, besides entailing an undesirable delay in the reappearance of this work, I resolved upon reissuing it as it stood, and bringing out my remarks on Food in the form of a separate work, in which I propose to treat the subject in detail under both a theoreti cal and practical point of view.
