1.

Lecture XIV.

The pathology of acute Hepatitis is entered upon and under this head, the subject of Hepatic Abscess, is treated of. The symptoms, the mode of formation, the different kinds of progress and termination of hepatic abscess are severally discussed.

Lecture XV.

1. The treatment of acute Hepatitis is explained.

2. The subject of Chronic Hepatitis including the disease called (Cirrhosis) is next considered, and discussed in relation to symptoms, pathology and treatment.

3. Having concluded the inflammatory diseases of the Liver, determination of blood and congestion of blood in the Liver are respectively considered in relation to their symptoms, pathology, causes and treatment.

Lecture XVI.

1. Having concluded the diseases, believed to be dependent on inflammation, determination or congestion of blood in the Liver, the structural diseases attributed to perversion of nutrition and secretion are next considered.

2. Under this head, fatty degeneration of the Liver, serofulous enlargement, carcinomatous degeneration and hydatid formations are treated of in relation to symptoms, pathology, causes and treatment.

Lecture XVII.

1. The diseases of the Gall-Bladder and of the biliary ducts are now considered and under this head, inflammation of the gallbladder and cystic duct, of the hepatic and common duct, as well as atony and spasm of these structures, are treated of. The nature of biliary caleuli is then explained, and the lecture concludes with a general notice of Jaundice.

2. All these diseases are explained in relation to symptoms, pathology, causes and treatment, more or less fully according to their respective importance and frequency.

Lecture XX.

Bright's disease of the Kidney is considered, the relation of this disease to urine, albuminous and of low specific gravity, to an altered condition of the blood, to secondary dropscial and inflammatory affections, is explained.

Hydatid formations, cancerous degenerations and the formation of cysts in the Kidney are shortly alluded to.

Lecture XXI.

The diseases of the Kidney were completed at last lecture, but there remain to be considered certain deranged conditions of the urine, some of them perhaps attributable in part to deranged action of the Kidney, others of them attributable to derangements in the processes of assimilation.

Under this head chylo-serous or chylous urine, ischuria rena lis, diuresis, diabetes, the oxalic acid diathesis, the uric acid diathesis and the phosphatic diathesis are considered in relation to symptoms, pathology and treatment.
