Allbutt (T. C.)— ON THE USE OF THE OPHTHALMO- 

 SCOPE in Diseases of the Nervous System and of the Kidneys ; 

 also in certain other General Disorders. By Thomas Clifford 

 Allbutt, M.A., M.D. Cantab., Physician to the Leeds General 

 infirmary, Lecturer on Practical Medicine, etc. etc. 8vo. 15J. 



The Ophthalmoscope has been found of the highest "value in the inves • 

 ligation of nervous diseases. But it is not easy for physicians who 

 have left the schools, and are engaged in practice, to take tip a new 

 instrument which requires much skill in using ; it is therefore 

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

 author 's 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 oj 

 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 of 123 cases illustrative of the subjects discussed in tin- 

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

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

 and Monomania, Idiotcy, and General Paralysis. The volume is 

 illustrated with two valuable coloured plates of morbid appearances 

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

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

 definite standpoint whence to proceed on their course of investigation.'' '
