28 THE MICROSCOPE. 
Hysteria AND Epiteprsy. By Leonard CorninG, M. D. Detroit: Geo, 8. 
Davis, 1888. 
This latest addition to the Physician’s Leisure Library, is, as 
the author tells us, an amplification of studies which have been 
already. published in two journals. Whatever Dr. Corning writes 
may safely be said to be authoritative, and the present little vol- 
ume will not lessen the writer’s reputation as a careful and pains- 
taking observer and teacher.
