Nervous Diseases ; Their Description and Treatment. Second edition, thoroughly 

 revised and rewritten. In one handsome octavo volume of 598 pages, with 72 illustrations. 

 Cloth, $4. 



We are glad to welcome a second edition of so use- 

 ful a work as this, in which Dr. Hamilton has suc- 

 ceeded in condensing into convenient limits the 

 most important of the recent developments in re- 

 gard to diseases of the nervous system. Of recent 

 years nervous pathology has attained to such im- 

 portance as to necessitate very careful description 

 in special works, and among these this volume 



The author's aim is to write a treatise on Nervous 

 Diseases which is both concise and practical, while 

 it is, at the same time, sufficiently comprehensive. 

 We have pleasure in bearing testimony to the fact 

 that his efforts have been crowned with success. 

 The various diseases have been well described, 

 the directions as to how to arrive at a correct diag- 

 nosis are very clear, and the hints in treatment 



must take a high place. This volume is on the whole are plain, practical and sound. Such a book should 

 excellent, and is devoid of that spirit of plagiarism be considered a necessity in everj 



which we have unfortunately seen too much of in 

 certain recent English works on nervous diseases. 

 Edinburgh Medical Journal, May, 1882. 



When the first edition of this good book appeared 

 we gave it our emphatic endorsement, and the 

 present edition enhances our appreciation of the 

 book and its author as a safe guide to students of 

 clinical neurology. One of the best and most 

 critical of English neurological journals, Brain, has 

 characterized this book as the best of its kind in 

 any language, which is a handsome endorsement 

 from an exalted source. The improvements in the 

 new edition, and the additions to it, will justify its 

 purchase even by those who possess the old.

as the ailments described are among the most 

 common that come under observation in the every- 

 day work of the general physician. To him, there- 

 fore, we recommend it with pleasure; in fact, we 

 may go further and say that, all things considered, 

 it is for his purpose the best work of the kind now 

 available. Canada Jour. Med. Sciences, April, 1882. 



This work is well adapted to the wants of the 

 general practitioner, for whom it seems to have 

 been especially written. It is a thoroughly prac- 

 tical book, the careful study of which will render 

 the diagnosis of nervous affections the more easy, 

 and their treatment more successful. The book is 

 very useful as a reference work to the busy prac- 

 titioner, to whom we can. recommend it. Medical 

 and Surgical Reporter, Jan. 21, 1882.

Lectures on Diseases of the Nervous System; Especially in Women. 

 Second edition. In one very handsome 12mo. volume of about 250 pages. Preparing. 



The life-long devotion of the Author to the subjects discussed in this volume has ren- 

 dered it eminently desirable that the results of his labors should be embodied for the bene- 

 fit of those who may experience the difficulties connected with the treatment of this 

 class of disease. Many of these lectures are fresh studies of hysterical affections ; others 

 treat of the modifications his views have undergone in regard to certain forms of treatment ; 

 while throughout the whole work he has been careful to keep in view the practical lessons 

 of his cases.
