PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION.

SINCE the second edition of this book was published there have been a number of advances made in the science of dietetics, and short accounts of the more important of these have been included in this new edition. The principal additions are in the articles on feeding infants, on typhoid fever, scarlet fever, and rectal and duodenal alimentation. Various changes have been made in the section on the diseases of the stomach and intestine. We trust that this volume may meet with the same cordial reception that has been given its predecessors.
