PREFACE
This book is in every respect and detail new. Its object is to supply the practitioner with trustworthy definitions of such medical words and terms as he may need in his reading of standard medical text-books, monographic or journalistic lilcra- lure. AU of us, wlitor, assistants, and publisher, have sought to avoid the incom- pleteness and limitations of dictionaries loo small to meet the needs of the active educated phj'sician, while at the same time comprising what is essential in the largest collections. 'Flic first class of works necessarily fail to include the brand new coinages, those most unknown lo ilie praclilioner, while the larger are frequently loo much un- abridged and at least arc expensive, heavy, and bulky. We have here striven for the fortunate in medio tutissimus. The inclusion of the best of the new and probably enduring words thai have been minted in the last ten or twelve years, while at the same lime keeping the old lists complete, has been a hard task. This has been made possible only by the generous cooi>eration of the publisher. Not a little of the modern publishing business consists in selling at an enormous profit a vast amount of lx)ok- papcr of poor quality, large extent, and useless thickness, upon which is sprawled a correspondingly exiguous text. With due attention to optic and artistic demands the choice of the reverse plan has been adopted.
We have retained all the old and acceptable features of the previous lexicons, the chief being the simple method, easily understood at a glance, of indicating the pro- nunciation and accentuation of words. The tabulation and systematic classification of correlated terms which has previously so well demonstrated its usefulness has also 'h> :inued. To this one exception has been made, — the distribution in alpha-
'b r of ci)onymic terms. Since the publication of earlier volumes these lists have
gniwn so amazingly that it has seemed labor-saving in ease of reference to scatter these tkroti|;hout the alphabet. In no other work will so many be found as in this. We may criticize and object to the making of these tliousands of words calie<l after men's names, but as the lexicographer is primarily a historian, ihey may not be excluded, and especially if the purchaser's interests arc duly considered.
Several valuable and important novelties have been adopted in order to make the work meeC all the latest requirements: The metric system of weights and measure- ment in doses, etc., has been added in order to furnish the t\ecessary cc\\\\n;A?iw\s Va iboae who may prefer these Xo the older and more common (orms; vVve ;vd^V\V\cn^'i ;i.w\ (^aBjfts oi the new Phanrmcopch have been inserted ; and the tccomm'Cw4^'^\<^'t\^

of the new [BNA] anatomic nomendature have been noted, form Professor Lewellys F. Barker says:
"This nomenclature has practically reduced the anatotnical terms by many thousands. It has omitted many which were ambiguous and obsolete, and has rt suited in the establishment of certain genera] particulars Regarding forni^iion and use of anatomical terms which will simplify and make uniform the nomentlaiurc jut it i» to-day, and new terms which may have to be added as investigation ooatintiet.''
Without wasting space and jqaakiiig ^'a (nctisre book" we have endeavorad H keep the most valuable and helpful Qhistrationa of former volumes, and have added a considerable number of new ones, distributing them where they will be most niently consulted.
To those previously thanked who have so ably and tmsrifishly aided kk tt pilations of the numerous styks and leviskms of pRvious texicoos I havt adHadt-ff well as to many others, unnamed, who have been interested In perfecting rhnss mikj$ should follow, I can only now express in this general way my obljgatioos and gmtltaili But in the arduous and painstakmg assistance rendered the subscrflieiB to the pmal volume, full and especial thanks are due £. Raiguel and G. C. C. Howard.
I have a feeling of gladness in learning from my publishers tiiat, despite flaaajr«li and many more new rivals, over 300,000 copies of my medical dictionaries have been scattered among the profession in many parts of the world. That evidences something of usefulness in the great cause of medical science and progress.

NOTES CONCERNING THE HISTORY OF LEXICOGRAPHY*
Nomina si nescis peril cogniiio rerum, said Coke with the acumen of the l^al mind, and it is generally true that the knowledge of things depends upon the knowledge of their names. Discoveries of new facts, or new standpoints for viewing old facts, demand new tags or "nicking'' symbols whereby their status may be fixed and their recognition insured and made more clear for distant or future students. Few philo- sophic and scientific minds nxay exhibit an aloofness and a freedom from the tyranny of words to enable them to study things without the aid of words and namings. But nothing, it is admitted, is more blundering in a personal sense, and more harmful to the progress of science, than the exhaustion of interest so soon as a classification and nomenclature have been made. The ridiculous is only needed to end in the absurd, and this is generally supplied by their wrong pigeon-holing and false ticketing. A diagnosis once made, a mere word, long, mysterious, and meaningless, pinned upon the bunched symptoms, and further study of etiology, prophylaxis, or therapeutics is with too many at an end. Over 300 years ago Dr. South tried to check this "fatal imposture and force of words " by showing how " the generality of mank ind is governed

by words and names," not by things as they are, but as they are called — in a word, by ••verbal magic."
And yet in a groping science like medicine, one that inductively, slowly, and tentatively is feeling its way toward the truth, this need of naming every step fonvard IS peculiarly necessary. It is the condition of securing the step in itself, and of guiding the aflercomcrs. It is the blazing of trails into the wilderness of the unknown. Of course no one can tell what lines of research may finally prove the best and true, and none, therefore, what blazes will be useful or useless. Ncv,' trails, shorter, easier, and l>ctttT, may indeed be discovered, and when the wilderness country is settled, all trails will cither be abandoned or become well-known roads. But even then good sign posts and pointing index -fingers will be helpful for strangers, and some of the old names will never be discarded. None can surely foretell what words may die and what ones become a part of the language. Hence the lexicographer may not too recklessly exclude.
The hislor)- of lexicography finds its first data about 700 or 800 A. D., in glosses, or the more common explanatory words annexed or superposed over "hard" terms, »nd made either in Laiin or in the glossator's own vernacular. A list of such glosses was called a glossarittm, or as we say, a gIossar\*. It soon become llie custom for children and students to learn by heart the classified lists of the names of things, such .as those of ihe parts of the body, of animals, trades, tools, virtues and vices, diseases, 41c. Such a list constituted a tocabiilarium or vocabulary. These glosses and vocab- ularies were in time thrown together in bundles, at first without any order, and as lists, without losing their individuality. Then came the "first letter order," in which &11 words and Icmis l^eginning with the letter a were bundled together, still without discrimination, so that the entire list of words beginning with a, orb, had to be scanned in order to find a special word. The classification proceeded to an arrangement of the items also according to the second letter, tlicn the third, etc., until after hundreds of years complete alphabetization came into use. At first the aim had been to explain
cult l^lin words by easier I^lin ones; then by Englwh ones, and in the tenth and
enth centuries the English equivalents were the rule, and the glossaries were Latin*English. The first book of this kind to be called a dictionarium^ that Is a rcper- IBTV of dictiones or sayings, was that of Sir Thomas Elyot in 1538, and from that time flie word dictionary has supplanted all others; so much so that it is now the title of any alphabetic gathering not only of words but of any kind of knowledge what-
Our modem language of medicine b unique in that it is made up of the un- changed and undigested materials and relics used or contributed during its entire bislofy. The persisting substratum is Latin, upon which has been placed a mass of poeudogreek words not physiologicly created nor grown by natural philologic methods, but springing Minervalike from the brains of thousands of modem Jupiters. These largely bear the marks of their parentage in characteristics that do not. or should not, bcf^ a !(pontaneous pride of lineage. From a highly variegated medievaUsxt\ \!L\w\\vas>, indeed, never ended, we have taken over another unasstmi\ab\c coi\^OTtvcTi\Vt^ w\^ sopcfBdcM Mfe thousands of dissimilar terrxis derived from modcnv cVenusVT^ ,\i\Q\o^ «

bacteriolo^, and many other sciences. Each single group of contemporaneous' nationalities contributes to the others its share of names, and is itself hard at work en- deavoring to fuse the whole heritage into homogeneity and unity with the amalgam of the spirit of the general language dominant among its people. The result is a strange hodge-podge of the medical language of two or more thousand years aixl of many speci^d national tongues, in mechanic, not chemic mixture, with moiicm sounds aiui symbols, the whole amazingly heterogeneous and cacophonous. The thtrlieth ceo- tuT)' medical student w ill probably be compelled to memorize iter a Urtio ad qucJtmm vcntriciUum, etc., and to write his orders for drugs in a sad mixture of sorry Latin so far as his knowledge will cany, and then to end it in despair in the vulgar manner of speech of his contemporaries. In general biology tlie law holds that tlie ontogeny epitomizes and repeals the phylogeny; but only at the different successive stages of ita* individual development. In medical language the phylum is always present, and there are no successive stages; there has been no rebirth or inheritance; the ontogeny goes on preserving all the old origins and accretions, and simply adding the new toj them. For this sort of evolution there is no name (unless Weissmann's immnrtality^! theory is applicable), and its study may be commended to the Danvins and Spencerai of the future as a noteworthy exception to hitherto formulated laws. The result isi before us: a huge and unassimtlated philologic mass, many times greater than it should^ be, (he despair of medical students and of the makers of dictionaries. These word- books, of course, reproduce the phylogenetic history in the same way. and there is no escape from the republication of all the methods and most all the words gathered and found useful in the course of ages. Here with some modifications of detail must be' repeated the glosses and vocabularies of a thouisand years ago, the foiled attempt together with die partial successes at alphabetic arrangement, and lastly the addition' of the modem encyclopedia
The functions of the dictionary-maker have thus become multiplied and varied. As the gloss-lists and vocable-lists grew into dictionariums and as alphabetization be- came thoroughgoing, as one after another subject was added to the word-gatlierer's work so our technical dictionary has at last become in part encyclopedic and expository, its plan and outworking still somewhat subject to the personality, scholarship, and judgment of the author. It will always remain an open question how far the author should or may go in giving individual color to his dictionarj'. Johnson's famous dc&nitions of excin, lexicographer, oais, pension, pfttuoner, tory, whig, etc.; Webster's ** Americanism*' In spelling; the Century's seconding in various ways the obvious trending of philologic progress,— these, and many such illustrate the lexicographer's' belief in his own, at least. " limited " frcc-wilL
"Johnson's great work," says Dr. Murray, "raised English lexicography alto* r to a higher level. In his hands it became a department of liternlurc." llit SraJ dictionary of to-day may indeed claim a higher olTice tlian that, because no monoffraph or (cxt-book comes near the far-rcaching and lasting influence of modem en4> ' irs.

th« teachings of which are so dearly kept in memory. This is because of the vahdity of the maxim of Coke.
Solely upon condiiion, however, thai the author has put heart, intellect, and labor Into his work I If he has been content to repeat, copy, and adopt, it will not be so. And even then only if oihcr repeaters, copiers, and adopters " do not break through and steal." As has often happened since, dictionary-theft is an ancient stor}-. As long as 350 years ago Phillips plagiarized the ghssographia of Blount. The robbed author indignantly exposed the shamelessness of the cribber, even of misprints and errors. Bui he was not ashamed! More suo the ihief, having no defense, made none, and in- stead proceeded to correct all the errors pointed out by Blount, and, in many subse- quent editions, the quack -lexicographer reaped the reward given by a too careless public.
The ancient injustice would be much manifolded in modem times, with an in- tensely progressing science which demands that, if to be of the best service, new editions of its word-books shall be made every few years. The system must become s>'steroatic and the professing truly professional. Nosfjasmodic, incidental, or amateur methods will nowadays a\'ail. Revisions are required, and continuous labor, not only of one but of many, so that helpers, a large corps of them, must be organized, and paid. Over joo years ago a great worker in this field, one who '* contrived and wrought not etic for our owne private use, but for the common profet of others." even with the iron:ige of great men "who encouraged in this wearic worke" was grieved that "the charges were so great and the losse of time*' so much that he came near having •'ne\'er bene able alone to have wTcsllcd against so manie troubles." Finding that "his spiritual substance had vanished," old Simon Browne "took to an employment which did not require a soul, and so became a dictionar)'-maker," piously adding tliat vc should '* thank God for everything and therefore for dictionary makers."
PUBLISHERS' NOTE
SECOND EDITION
Experience has shown that revisions generally add to the size and wdght of books andf if the work is of a special nature and intended for a particular class, it becomes too large and so loses its raison d'ttre for that class. This edition of the Practitioner's Dictionar>* has been kept down to its original size by mechanical means despite the inclusion of a number of new words — new in the science of medi- cine and necessary to the physician.
