CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS; A Handbook for Students and Frnc- 



titioners of Medicine. In one handsome 12mo. volume, of 546 pages, with 85 illustra- 

 tions. Cloth, $2 03. (Just 7iW////.) 



The concurrence of gentlemen specially familiar with the several subjects being requisite to 

 the sntisf.i.-tnry development of ;i plan so extensive, Dr. Finlayson has secured the en-operation 

 of Prof, (inirdner, who lias contributed the chapter on the Physiognomy of Disease ; Prof. Win. 

 ftephenson that on Disorders of the Female Organs; Dr. Alex. Robertson that on Insanity; 

 Prof. Samson Gemmell those on the Sphvgmograph and Physical Diagnosis; and Dr. Joseph 

 Coates those on the Fauces, Larynx, and Nares, and on the method of performing post-mortem 

 examinations. Other chapters have enjoyed the advantage of revision by gentlemen specially 

 versed in their several subjects; and the volume is presented as thoroughly on a level with 

 the most advanced condition of knowledge in a department which has made such rapid strides 

 of advancement within the last few years. 



The book is an excellent one, clear, concise, conve- 

 nient, practical. It is replete with the very know- 

 ledge the student needs when he quits the lecture- 

 ro.im and the laboratory for the ward and sick-room, 

 and does not lack in information that will meet the 

 wan ts of experienced aiid older men. Phil a. Mtd. 

 .!, n. !. 1879. 



The aim of ihe author is to teach a student and 

 practitioner how to examine a cast- so as to u.-e "all \ 

 At'.v knnwli '/* " in arriving at a diagnosis. All the 1 

 various symptoms of the several systems are grouped 

 together in such a manner as' to mike their relations 

 to a final diagnosis clear and easy of apprehension. 

 This work lias been done by men of large experience 

 and trained observation, who have beeu long recog- : 

 nized as authorities upon the subj.-cis which they 

 treat. There is a profusion of illustrations to illus- 

 ibjects under discussion. The application of 

 electricity, and instruments of precision in diagnosis, 

 is fully discussed. This hook is all good. We com- I 

 mend it to all students and practitioners of medicine 

 as a work worthy of a place in their libraries. Ohio : 

 Med. Recorder. Dec. 1S78. 



This is one of the really useful books. It is attrac- 

 tive from pr.Tace. to the final page, and ought to be 

 gi ven a place on every otiico table, because it contai ns 

 in a condensed form all that is valuable in sem 

 and diagnostics to be found in bulkier volum< s, and 

 becau-ein its arrangement and complete index, it is 

 unusually convenient for quick reference in any 

 emergency ttiat may come upon the busy practitioner.

This is a most important work for students, and 

 one that is dtstined to become rapidly popular. It 

 is composed of contributions from various eminent 

 sources bearing upon this subject. The real secret 

 of successful practice is the accurate diagnosis of 

 disease. This manual teaches the student to arrange 

 his investigation in such system as to enable him, 

 with practice, to acquire this very desirable faculty. 

 The division of the subject, as in this work, among 

 the highest authorities living, is a good idea, and 

 gives us in one compact form a series of monographs 

 written by mSktern.2faahvttte Journal of Mtd.

The author tells us in his preface that it has been 

 his object to produce a. concise, practical book, and 



ireful 



revision, we can heartily recommend this work to 

 stuaents and gennral practitioners in particular as 

 being a full exposition of diseases of the nervous sy-- 

 tem, their pathology and treatment, to date. N. Y. 

 Med. Record, Aug. ':*, 1878. 



As stated in the preface, the author's object has 



we think he has been successful, considering the ex- | been to write a concise 'and practical book, for 

 tent of the subject which he has undertaken. In 



fact, it is more extensive than ihe title properly or 

 accurately indicates, embracing- besides what are 

 usually regarded as nervous diseases inflammatory 

 affections, both acute and chronic, hemorrhages and 

 tumors of the cerebrum and cerebellum, medulla 

 oblongata, spinal cord and nerves, with thrombosis 

 aud embolism of the arteries, sinuses, and veins. 

 The reader may therefore expect information, more 

 Mill and satisfactory, on almost every point 



which there is certainly a place, and we think he 

 has succeeded admirably in fulfilling his objecr. 

 The usual plan is adopted in the classification of 

 the different diseases, the book not being greatly 

 unlike Hammond's in this respect, although it is 

 very noticeable- throughout that the author's opin- 

 ions vary widely from tiioseof Dr Hammond. Am.
