Literary Notices. xxxi 



Dr. Bianchi concludes that in hemiplegia of the right side the image 

 not calling forth, on the left hemisphere, any centrifugal motion of 

 the muscles of the right hand, will oblige the extensor cellular groups 

 of the sound right hemisphere to write from the left, because of the 

 preserved remembrance of the muscular combination associated with 

 the image of the word. Hence there will be an identical centrifugal 

 motion and the reversed lithographic writing. 



ReYue Neiirologique. 



A new journal which comes to our table, published under the 

 direction of Wm. E. Bressaud and P. Marie and bearing the above 

 title, is intended to offer synopses of the important articles in neurol- 

 ogy as well as some original matter. 



The journal, which is printed on thick opaque paper and illus- 

 trated with process cuts, is to appear on the 15th and 30th of each 

 month and contains summaries of the recent papers on anatomy, pa- 

 thology, physiology, psychiatry and therapeutics of the nervous sys- 

 tem. 



Society reports and programs are included and the first number 

 gives promise of usefulness. 



Each number contains 24 pages and the supscription is 22 francs. 

 The origmal article of the first number is entitled Sept cas di polyneu- 

 rite, by Dr. Dutil, being derived from the clinics of Professor Charcot. 



An index of current literature is devoted chiefly to the pathology 

 and therapeutics of the nervous system. 



The Universal Medical Journal, 



This is the name under which the "Satellite" which has re- 

 volved so usefully about the annual of the Universal Medical Sciences 

 for six years or more, now appears. It promises to become even 

 more representative and useful under its new name than it has been 

 hitherto. The corps of editors contains widely known specialists 

 from most European countries.
