Excerpt from Sketches of the Medical Topography: And Native Diseases of the Gulf of Guinea, Western Africa A brief topographical description, with an outline of the diseases peculiar to the aboriginal tribes of the Bights of Benin and Biafra, appeared several years ago, in a series of detached papers published in the Medical Gazette. These communications, now revised, constitute the basis of the present work. The Author, since their publication, having enjoyed opportunities of acquiring additional information on various topics connected with the subject, has been induced to avail himself of these researches, by embodying them in the succeeding pages, with the results of his previous experience. The present volume is not intended to enter into any details connected with the modes of life or customs of the different native tribes of this portion of Western Africa, further than is requisite to develope those principles which tend towards the elucidation of the origin, and native system of treatment of those diseases to which they are incident.
