This work on the Practice of Medicine is based on laborious researches into 

 the pathological and clinical records of Guy's Hospital, London, during the 

 twenty years in which the author held office there as Medical Registrar, as Patholo- 

 gist, and as Physician. Familiar, beyond most, if not all, of his contemporaries, 

 with modern medical literature, a diligent reader of French and German periodi- 

 cals, Dr. Fagge, with his remarkably retentive memory and methodical habits, 

 was able to bring to his work of collection and criticism almost unequaled 

 opportunities of extensive experience in the wards and dead house. The result 

 is that which will probably be admitted to be a fuller, more original, and more 

 elaborate text-book on medicine than has yet appeared. It is the first of import- 

 ance emanating from Guy's Hospital, and the only two-volume work on the 

 Practice of Medicine that has been issued for a number of years. Several subjects , 

 such as Syphilis, that are usually omitted or but slightly spoken of in a general 

 work of this character, receive full attention. The section on Nervous Diseases is 

 very exhaustive, and that on Diseases of the Respiratory Organs and Larynx are 

 equally full. The author has adopted a very simple and practical plan in the 

 treatment of Lung Diseases, and Phthisis receives full consideration. The chapter 

 on Cardiac Diseases, by Dr. Sam'l Wilkes, is most carefully written, and the 

 parts devoted to Cutaneous Affections, by Dr. Pye-Smith, are excellent. 



PRESS NOTICES. 



" Those who have read Guy's Hospital Reports for the past twenty years arid the many articles in the 

 different English journals from the pen of Charles Hilton Fagge will expect a comprehensive, carefully- 

 prepared and painstaking volume. They will not be disappointed. One cannot proceed far in the reading 

 of this book before he is impressed with certain features of it which are very remarkable. Let him turn to 

 almost any page at random, and he is likely to find reference made to a dozen authors; the authors being, 

 perhaps, of three or four different nationalities. The author is said to have been very familiar with German, 

 French and Italian, which, with his own English, would give him four different languages from which to 

 cull his information. His memory must have been marvelous, and he was an original worker and thinker. 

 We close the first volume feeling that here was a master. * * * Will take and hold the very 

 front rank among works on the practice of medicine. * * * A general and complete index to both volumes 

 adds great value to its usefulness. One is gratified to find reference to no fewer than thirty American authors. 

 Certainly these two volumes make a complete work on practice, whether as a book of reference or even as a 

 text-book. It is in style worthy of a second place only to the classical work of Sir Thomas Watson." New 

 York Medu:al Journal. 



" If the second volume of this treatise fulfills the promise of excellence contained in the one before us 

 the entire work cannot fail to find favor with the profession both here and abroad." New York Medical 

 Record, notice of Vol. I. 



"The finest of all treatises on the healing art. It should be in every physician's library." Cincinnati 

 Lancet and Clinic. 



" A perusal of its pages shows that it is one of the most scientific and philosophical works of its kind, 

 being, in truth, a mine of clinical and pathological facts, which are dealt with in so masterly a manner that 

 we know not which to admire most the patient labor and thought expended in bringing them to light, the 

 learning and acumen that illustrate them, or the calm and judicial spirit in which they are estimated and 

 criticised." London Lancet. 



"The work is an English classic. * * * His great treatise remains a monument more enduring than 

 fame." Dublin Journal of Medicine.
