Chapter III: Cardiac Neuroses

Varieties.-- [Bold]
_Palpitation_.-- [italic]

During the transcription of this book Dr. Michael Stewart of the
Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL., diagnosed me with a retinal
condition that had deprived me of the ability to read with my left
eye. His skilled surgery corrected the condition. I dedicate this
transcription to Dr. Stewart and the skilled and thoughtful staff of
Mayo.
