    PREFACE. My apology (if one be needed) for the publication of this hrochure, is simply that I have been unable to supply the demands of friends for copies of my papers On the Vegetable Parasites infesting the Human Skin, a very limited number having been struck off at the time of publication in The Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science for the years 1859 and 1866. It has also been suggested to me, that, as papers on kindred subjects—The Fungus-foot Disease of India, and The Fungoid or Germ Theory of Cholera, &c.— have since appeared in The Medical Times and Gazette^ it would be as well to reprint the whole in a connected form. I trust the confident and favourable opinion of my humble labours expressed by friends, will be endorsed by those who share the interest I have taken in the investigation of a fungoid theory of disease—■ a subject that from time to time I have endeavoured to discuss with a due appreciation of its important bearing upon the healing art, and its relation to the public health. 1, Bedford Square, August \st, 1873.
