There are many excellent text-books on children's diseases, but they have failed to give a satisfactory 

 account of the diseases of the heart ; and, indeed, as far as known, this work of Keating and Edwards' n nv 

 presented to the profession is the only systematic attempt that has been made to collect in book form the 

 abundant material which is scattered throughout medical literature in the form of journal articles, clinical 

 lectures, theses, and reports of societies, 



The authors have endeavored, in their difficult task, to collect these valuable materials and place them 

 within easy reach of those who are interested in this important subject. That they have succeeded will, we 

 believe, be conceded by all who obtain and make use of their very valuable contribution to this hitherto- 

 neglected field of medical literature. 



An appendix, entitled " Clinical Studies on the Pulse in Childhood," follows the index in the book, and 

 will, we are sure, be found of much real value to every practitioner of medicine. The work is made available 

 for ready reference by a well-arranged index. We append the table of contents showing the scope of the 

 book : 



CHAPTER VII. General Diagnosis, Prognosis, and 

 Treatment of Valvular Disease. 



CHAPTER VI11. Endocarditis Atheroma Aneu- 

 rism. 



CHAPTER IX. Cardiac Neuroses Angina Pectoris- 

 Exophthalmic Goitre. 



CHAPTER X. Diseases of the Blood : Plethora,

Drs. Keating and Edwards have produced a work that 

 will give material aid to every doctor in his practice among 

 children. The style of the book is graphic and pleasing, 

 the diagnostic points are explicit and exact, and the thera- 

 peutical resources include the novelties of medicine as well 

 as the old and tried agents. Pittshnruli M<->J. BfoSetD. 



A very attractive and valuable work has been given to 

 the medical profession by Drs. Keating and Edwards, in 

 their treatise on the diseases of the heart and circulation 

 in infancy and adolescence, and they deserve the greatest 

 credit for the admirable manner in which they have col- 

 lected, reviewed, and made use of the immense amount of 

 material on this important subject. A rchives of Pedintrirx. 



The plan of the work is the correct one, viz., the sup- 

 plementing of the observations of the better class of prac- 

 titioners by the experience of those who have given the 

 subject systematic attention. Medical -Age. 



It is not a mere compilation, but a systematic treatise, 

 and bears evidence of considerable labor and observation on- 

 the part of the authors. Two fine photographs of dissect 

 tions exhibit mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation ; 

 there are also a number of wood-cuts. Cleveland Medical 

 Gazette. 



As the works upon diseases of children give little or no 

 attention to diseases of tbe heart, this work of Drs. Keat- 

 ing and Edwards will supply a want. We think that 

 there will be no physician, who takes an interest in the 

 affections of young folks, who will not wish to consult it.

The work takes up, in an able and scientific manner, 

 diseases of the heart in children. This is a part of the 

 field of medical science which has not been cultivated to 

 the extent that the importance of the subject deserves.
