Excerpt from An Investigation Into the Microscopic Anatomy of Interstitial Nephritis: A Gold Medal Thesis for the Degree of M.D. In the University of Edinburgh

The following monograph comprises the substance of a Thesis presented to the Medical Faculty of the University of Edinburgh for the degree of M.D., which was fortunate enough to he deemed worthy of the award of a Gold Medal. It is therefore with the greater confidence that the Author now submits it to a more extended audience of his professional brethren.

The original Thesis was illustrated by a large number of water-colour drawings, and by more than two hundred and fifty microscopical preparations, derived from twenty-five distinct cases of interstitial nephritis. The Author has since examined specimens from fifteen additional cases, which have further served to confirm the results he had previously arrived at. It will thus be seen that the views now advocated are based on the evidence afforded by about forty specimens of interstitial nephritis, comprising every stage of the lesion, from the most incipient to the most advanced. Specimens from three cases of glomerulo-nephritis were submitted with the Thesis, and two more have been examined subsequently; these cases being found not only interesting in themselves, but valuable also from the important side-light which they cast on the histogeny of the ordinary varieties of interstitial nephritis.
