During the past ten years the attention of the Author has been particularly 

 directed towards the study of gastric ulcer, both from its pathological and 

 clinical point of view. In the present work he has endeavoured to produce 

 a book which is comprehensive, concise, and of practical value, dealing with 

 the scientific and clinical aspects of the subject. 



The work is written primarily from the standpoint of the physician, but the 

 surgical aspect of the disease , in so much as it affects the medical practitioner, 

 is systematically dealt with. 



The Author criticizes in turn all the methods of treatment which have been 

 employed, and describes fully his own method of treatment based upon a 

 study of the pathology of the disease. 



The value of the latest methods employed in diagnosis is discussed, the 

 text being illustrated by clinical cases, not only of ulcer, but also of diseases 

 liable to be mistaken for it. 



The chapters on symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment, will be found of 

 great value to the medical practitioner. The pathology is exhaustively dealt 

 with, and the portion of the book devoted to this part of the subject will be 

 of great use to the student and the teacher of pathology.

 Glasgow. With Chapters on THE ELECTRO-CARDIOGRAPH, 

 by W. T. RITCHIE, F.R.C.P., and THE OCULAR MANIFESTA- 

 TIONS IN ARTERIO-SCLEROSIS, by ARTHUR J. BALLANTYNE, 

 M.D., F.R.F.P.S. With 3 Coloured Plates and 199 Illus- 

 trations in the Text, xx + 438 pages. 155. net. 



During the last ten years great advances have been made in our knowledge of 

 the diseases of the heart and arteries. New methods of histological technique 

 have revealed lesions which were hitherto unappreciated, and experimental 

 research has deciphered their causes. The sphygmomanometer, the poly- 

 graph, the electro-cardiograph, and the Rontgen rays, have become accessible 

 to the clinician, and the data thus acquired have elucidated some of the many 

 problems which awaited solution ; while the pharmacologists have defined 

 the uses of such drugs as digitalis more accurately than had been previously 

 possible. 



In this work the Author has made an attempt to review the whole subject 

 in the light of these recent advances, and to present to the practitioner the 

 results which have been attained, and their bearing upon the practical work 

 of diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.
