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. 



FOURTH 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. 



This work is already universally popular with the profession ; their 

 appreciation of it may be evidenced by the fact that within two years 

 it has reached the fourth edition. 



" 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, 



" 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. 



" This is a valuable and comprehensive book ; it embraces many topics, and extends over a 

 wide sphere. One of the most valuable parts of it relates to the Diseases of the Brain ; while 

 the remaining portion of the volume treats of the Diseases of the Spinal Cord, the Cerebro- 

 spinal System, the Nerve-Cells, and the Peripheral Nerves." British Medical Journal. 



" The work before us Is unquestionably the most exhaustive treatise, on the diseases to 

 which it is devoted, that has yet appeared in English. And its distinctive value arises from 

 the fact that the work is no mere rafficiamento of old observations, but rests on his own ex- 

 perience and practice, which, as we have before observed, have been very extensive." Ameri- 

 can Journal of Syphilography. 



" The author of this work has attained a high rank among our brethren across the Atlantic 

 from previous labors in connection with the disorders of the nervous system, as well as from 

 various other contributions to medical literature, and he now holds the official appointments of 

 Physician to the New York State Hospital for Diseases of the Nervous System, and Professor 

 of the same department in the Bellevue Hospital Medical College. The present treatise is the 

 fruit of the experience thus acquired, and we have no hesitation in pronouncing it a most valu- 

 able addition to our systematic literature. 1 '' Glasgow Medical Journal.
