Surgeon, Bengal Medical Service. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



The Lancet. — "In the present volume Dr. Russell discusses most 

 exhaustively the subject of malaria and its effects, and the work should 

 be read by all who are liable to be called upon to treat the conditions to 

 which it gives rise. The chapter which describes the malarial lesions of 

 the stomach and liver will perhaps be read with most interest by the 

 English practitioner. Dr. Russell offt- rs a useful hint not to mistake severe 

 dyspepsia and gastric irritability associated with pale diarrhoea arising from 

 too constant and prolonged a residence in malarious regions for hepatic 

 disease induced by ' free living ' — a caution the more needed since, we 

 fear, all dyspeptic troubles occurring in old Indians are apt to be regarded 

 as due ' to liver ' provoked by unlimited brandy pawnee, hot curries, and 

 tropical suns. Dr. Russell ably discusses the relationship between ague 

 and typhoid — a question that has been raised by Sir Joseph Fayrer. . . . 

 The second part of the volume is devoted to an analysis of fifty ca^-es of 

 injury of the spleen. These injuries, from the frequency of their occurrence, 

 and the importance of their medico-legal bearings, are of peculiar interest 

 to the medical practitioner in India, but their consideration need not detain 

 us at present. We therefore leave Dr. Russell's volume, commending it 

 to the notice of our readers as a book full of facts and of clinical research, 

 and which must be considered as an authority on the subject of malaria." 



The Maiical Press and Circular. — "The appearance of this work is 

 opportune at this time, when the subject of fevers in relation to climate 

 in India is obtaining special attention. The author, from his position as 

 civil surgeon of Kamrup in Assam, had ample opportunities of practically 

 studying his subject, for the district of which that station is the centre is 

 noted for its malarious character, and for the prevalence of malarial 

 disease, including 'fever and its sequelae, dysentery, diarrhoea, and cholera.' 

 But besides the results of his personal observations, he summarises the 

 views of recognised authorities on his subject, and thus presents to his 

 readers a convenient epitome of previous investigations. His work is of 

 considerable merit, and deserves to be extensively read."
