Excerpt from Clinical and Pathological Observations on Acute Abdominal Diseases Due to Conditions of the Alimentary Tract and the Uniformity of Their Origin: The Erasmus Wilson Lectures 1904

As the material collected for the Erasmus Wilson Lectures delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons, March, 1904, was a great deal too large for the purpose and also for publi cation in the Journals, it was decided that it should be brought out in book form, without any separation of the various sections. The Lectureship being a pathological one, stress was laid chiefly on that side of the subject. Also a patho logical title, Acute Infective Gangrenous Processes (necroses) of the Alimentary Tract, was selected. When it was decided that the whole of the material should be pub lished together, it was felt that a change in the title must be made. This is the reason why the present one was adopted.

The main object of the lectures is to direct attention to the identity of the pathological changes concerned in the pro duction of all acute perforative and gangrenous processes of the alimentary tract, such as appendicitis, perforations of gastric and duodenal and other ulcers, cholecystitis and acute diseases of the gall bladder, gangrene in strangulated herniae, diverticulitis or the inflammation of Meckel's diverticulum, and perhaps in acute pancreatitis and liver abscess. More than this, an endeavour will be made to point out a probable and uniform bacterial origin for all these in the action of pyogenic organisms, streptococci and staphy lococci; thus bringing the pathology of acute surgical diseases of the alimentary tract into harmony, if not absolute identity, With the well-known abscess formation and sup puration in other parts of the body.
