instrument which requires much skill in using ; it is therefore 

 hoped that by such the present volume, containing the results of the 

 authors extensive use of the instrument in diseases of the nervous 

 system, will be found of high value ; and that to all students it may 

 prove a useful hand-book. After four introductory chapters on the 

 history and value of the Ophthalmoscope, and the manner of investi- 

 gating the states of the optic nerve and retina, the author treats of 

 the various diseases with which optic changes are associated, and 

 describes the way in which such associations take place. Besides 

 the cases, referred to throughout the volume, the Appendix con- 

 tains details 0/12$ cases illustrative of the subjects discussed in the 

 text, and a series of tabulated cases to show the Ophthalmoscopic 

 appearances of the eye in Insanity, Mania, Dementia, Melancholia 

 and Monomania, Idiotcy, and General Paralysis. The volu?ne is 

 illustrated with two valuable coloured plates of morbid appearances 

 of the eye iinder the Ophthalmoscope. "By its aid men will no 

 longer be compelled to work for years in the dark ; they will have a 

 dejiniie standpoint whence to proceed on their course of investigation."

Anstie (F. E.) NEURALGIA, AND DISEASES WHICH 

 RESEMBLE IT. By FRANCIS E. ANSTIE, M.D., M.R.C.P., 

 Senior Assistant Physician to Westminster Hospital. 8vo. los. Cvl. 



Dr. Anstie is well known as one of the greatest living authorities on 

 Neuralgia. The present treatise is the result of many years 1 careful 

 independent scientific investigation into the nature and proper treat- 

 ment of this most painful disease. The aiithor has had abundant 

 means of studying the subject both in his own person and in the 

 hundreds of patients that have resorted to him for treatment. He 

 has gone into the whole subject indicated in the title ab initio, and 

 the publishers believe it ^vill be found that he has presented it in an 

 entirely original light, and done imich to rob this excruciating and 

 hitherto refractory disease of many of its terrors. The Introduction 

 treats briefly of Pain in General, and contains some striking and 

 even original ideas as to its nature and in reference to sensation 

 generally.
