Preface by author

To this edition is added a "General Survey of Varicosis and Varicose Veins," and this will show the direction in which my clinical work has developed, i.e., I now lay more stress on the diagnosis of the cause in each individual case, going first to the topographic relationships of its origin when obstructive, thence to the constitutional origin of the non-obstructive varieties, and finally to the therapeutic indications. In this manner the treatment becomes more methodical : first, we deal with the obstruction where such exists, and in these cases haemorrhage is an unusual occurrence. Secondly, we proceed to cure the blood diseases where such exist, and here haemorrhages are common and often severe when these blood diseases are cured the haemorrhages cease, and then the vein-medicines proper and the anti-traumatics come into play
