Excerpt from The Etiology Symptoms, and Treatment of Gall-Stones The favourable reception which my "Beitrage zur Pathologic und Therapie de Gallensteinkrankheit" - now in its second edition has met with in Germany, has induced me to offer this translation to the medical profession in England. The fact that many of my English friends have been kind enough to express the hope that such a translation would appear has been a further incentive to me to prepare this volume. With regard to operative treatment in these cases, I have been fortunate enough to obtain the views of an English authority, Mr. Henry Morris of the Middlesex Hospital, London, in addition to those of some of my own countrymen and other Continental writers, and I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my best thanks to Mr. Morris for his valuable contribution, as I feel sure that much thereby is added to the practical nature and utility of the book.
