HAMMOND. 

 A Treatise on Diseases of the Nervous 



System. 



By WILLIAM A. HAMMOND, M. D., 



Professor of Diseases of the Mind and Nervous System, and of Clinical Medicine, in the Bellevue 

 Hospital Medical College ; Physician-in-Chief to the New York State Hospital for Diseases 

 of the Nervous System, etc., etc. 



SECOND EDITION, REVISED AND CORRECTED. 



With Forty-five Illustrations. 1 vol., 8vo. 750 pp. Cloth, $5.00. 



The treatise embraces an introductory chapter, which relates to the 

 instruments and apparatus employed in the diagnosis and treatment of 

 diseases of the nervous system, and five sections. Of these, the first 

 treats of diseases of the brain ; the second, diseases of the spinal cord ; 

 the third, cerebro-spinal diseases ; the fourth, diseases of nerve-cells ; 

 and the fifth, diseases of the peripheral nerves. One feature which may 

 be claimed for the work is, that it rests, to a great extent, upon the per- 

 sonal observation and experience of the author, and is therefore no mere 

 compilation. 



" The author's clear and terse style of diction renders the book exceedingly 

 readable, and the cases reported and cited add much to the interest of the text. 

 . . . There is so much that is entertaining in the mental and other manifesta- 

 tions of nervous disorder, especially when presented as they are here, that a work 

 of this kind will find many readers outside the profession ; and, it may be hoped, 

 will serve not only to interest and amuse, but to induce a closer observance of 

 those hygienic laws upon whose violation many of the ailments here treated of 

 depend." New York Medical Journal. 



" The work is replete with useful knowledge, and every physician who expects 

 to be called on, as an expert, to testify in cases of supposed insanity, after the 

 commission of crimes, should give the book a thorough perusal." Leavenworth 

 Medical Herald. 



" That a treatise by Prof. Hammond would be one of a high order was what 

 we anticipated, and it affords us pleasure to state that our anticipations have 

 been realized." Cincinnati Medical Repertory. 



" It affords a vast amount of information, is captivating, and worth reading." 

 Cincinnati Lancet and Observer. 



" This is unquestionably the most complete treatise on the diseases to which 

 it is devoted that has yet appeared in the English language ; and its value is 

 much increased by the fact that Dr. Hammond has mainly based it on his own 

 experience and practice, which, we need hardly remind our readers, have been 

 very extensive." London Medical Times and Gazette. 



" Free from useless verbiage and obscurity, it is evidently the work of a 

 man who knows what he is writing about, and knows how to write about it." 

 Chicago Medical Journal.
