Paton, S. Psychiatry, A Text-book for Students and Physicians. Philadelphia, J. B. Lippincott 

 Co. 1905. 



A very readable book written from a standpoint which will appeal to the general 

 medical practitioner for several reasons, notably because of its emphasis on the 

 significance of the earliest symptoms of mental disorder which, as a rule, he alone 

 can meet and which are of the highest importance to successful treatment. The 

 work will also prove attractive to those of our readers who, though not in the 

 practice of medicine, desire a practical introduction to the leading facts of psychi- 

 atry. Starting from the position that psychiatry "not only forms a branch of 

 general medicine, but should be classed with other biological studies," the author 

 treats each topic conservatively on the basis of a clear scientific analysis of both old 

 and new doctrines. Some of the chapters may prove disappointing to those accus- 

 tomed to a more dogmatic treatment, but the sharp discrimination of definite 

 clinical fact from theory is perhaps the most distinctive merit of the work.
