A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON DISEASES OF THE EYE. 



ed, with test-types and Additions, by JOHN GREEN, M.D. (of St. Louis, Mo.), 

 handsome octavo volume of about 500 pages, and 124 illustrations. Cloth, $3 75 

 Ready.) 



Dr. Green, whose reputation and experience in this department are well known, has given this 

 work a very careful revision, and has introduced much mutter which will be found of importance 

 to the practitioner. As his system of test-types is the one recommetded by the author, tl. ex- 

 have been inserted in the volume in a shape which will admit of their being detached and 

 mounted for convenient office use. 



These test-types, on a sheet for mounting, can be had separate, price 25 cents. 



It would be difficult for Mr. Carter to write an uuiu- ; in view, and presents the subject in a clear and en, 

 structive book, and impossible for him to write an un- 

 interesting one. Even on subjects with which he is not 

 bound to be familiar, he can discourse with a raredegree 

 Qt clearness and effect. Our readers will therefore not 

 be surprised to learn that a work by him on the Diseases 

 of the Eye makes a very valuable addition to ophthal- 

 mic literature. . . . The hook will remain cue useful 



alike to the jreneral and tbe special practitioner. Nut 

 the least valuable result which we expect from it is that 

 it will to simit 1 considerable extent despecialize this bril- 

 liant department of medicine. London Luncet, Oct. 30, 

 1W5. 



It is with great pleasure that we can endorse the work 

 as a most valuable contribution to practical ophthal- 

 mology. Mr. Carter never deviates froui the end he has 



manner, easy of comprehension, and hence tbe mor 

 valuable. We would especially commend. h<. never. a> 

 worthy of high praise, the manner iu which (lie tbcr.i- 

 peutics of disease of the e\ e is elaborated, for here the 

 author is particularly clear and practical, i. 

 writers are unfortunately tuo often delicient. The linn! 

 chapter is devoted to a discus.-ion ot the uses: 

 tion of spectacles, and is admirably compact, plain, and 

 useful, especially the paragraphs on the treatment of 

 piv.-hyopia and myopia. In conchi-inn. our thanks awj 

 due the author for many useful hints iu the ^reat .-uh- 

 ject of ophthalmic surgery and thcrapi-ulie.-, a tield 

 where of late years we glean but a few irrains of sound 

 wheat from a muss of chat!' .A'ciu !' <J,

TREATISE ON DISEASES OF THE EYE. Second American , 



from the Third arid Revised London Edition, with additions; illustrated with numerous 

 engravings on wood, and six colored plates Together with selections from the Test-types 

 of Jaeger and Snellen. In one large and very handsome octavo volume of neari- 

 pages ; cloth, $5 00 ; leather, $6 00. (Lately Published.) 



On examining it carefully, one is not at all sur- 

 prised that it should meet with universal favor. It 

 is, io fact, a comprehensive and thoroughly practical 

 treatise ou diseases of the eye, setting forth the prac- 

 tice of the leading oculists of Europe and America, 

 and giving the author's own opinions and preferences, 

 which are quite decided and worthy of high coosid- 

 e/atinn. The third English editiou. from which this 

 is taken, having been revised by the author, emu- 

 prises a notice of all the more recent advances made 

 in ophthalmic science. The style of the writer is 



lucid and flowing, therein differing materially from 

 Bomeof the translatioas of Continental* this 



subjects thai are tn the market. Special pains are 

 taken to explain, at length, tho-,e subjects v.-hicli are 

 particularly difficult of comprehension to tl ! ei;i!i- 

 ner, as the use of the ophthalmoscope, the int'-ipre- 

 talion of its lunges, etc. The book is profusely ami
