WINSLOW (FORBES), M. D., D. C. L., &c. 

 ON OBSCURE DISEASES OF THE BRAIN AND DISORDERS OF THE 



MIND; their incipient Symptom?, Pathology, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prophylaxis. In one 

 handsome octavo volume, of nearly 600 page;*, extra cloth. $3 00. 



We close this brief and necessarily very imperfect 

 notice of Dr. Winslow's great and classical work, 

 by expressing our conviction that it is long since BO 

 important and beautifully written a volume has is- 

 sued from the British medical press. Dublin Med. 

 Press, July 25, 1860. 



We honestly believe this to be the best book of the 

 season. Ranking* s Abstract, July, 1860. 



The latter portion of Dr. Winslow's work is ex- 

 clusively devoted to the consideration of Cerebral 



Pathology. It completely exhausts the subject, in 

 the same manner as the previous seventeen chapters 

 relating to morbid psychical phenomena left nothing 

 unnoticed in reference to the mental symptoms pre- 

 monitory of cerebral disease. It is impossible to 

 overrate the benefits likely to resulc from a general 

 perusal of Dr. Winslow's valuaole and deeply in- 

 teresting work. London Lancet, June 23, 1860. 



It contains an immense mass of information.

 &c., 8vo., cloth, price $1. 



We mustnow conclude this hastily written sketch 

 with the confident assurance to our readers that the 

 work will well repay perusal. The conscientious, 

 painstaking, practical physician is apparent on every 

 page N. Y. Journal of Medicine. 



We know of no treatise of the kind so complete 

 and yet so compact. Chicago Med. Jour. 



A fairer, more honest, more earnest, and more re- 

 liable investigator of the many diseases of women 

 and children is not to be found in any country. 

 Southern Med. and Surg. Journal. 



We have to say of it, briefly and decidedly, that 

 it is the best work on the subject in any language ; 

 and that it stamps Dr. West as the facile princeps 

 of British obstetric authors. Edinb. Med. Journ. 



We gladly recommend his Lectures as in the high- 

 est degree, instructive to all who are interested ia 

 obstetric practice. London Lancet. 



Happy in his simplicity of manner, and moderate 

 in his expression of opinion, the author is a sound 

 reasoner and a good practitioner, and his book IB 

 worthy of the handsome garb in which it has ap- 

 peared . Virginia Med. Journal. 



We must take leave of Dr. West's very useful 

 work, with our commendation ol the clearness of 

 its style, and the intustry and sobriety of judgment 

 of which it gives evidence. London Med Times. 



Sound judgment and good sense pervade every 

 chapter of the book. From its perusal we have de- 

 rived unmixed satisfaction. Dublin Quart. Jour*.

LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OF INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD. 



Third American, from the fourth enlarged and improved London edition. In one handsome 

 octavo volume, extra cloth, of about six hundred and fifty pages. $2 75. 



The three former editions of the work now before 

 us have placed the author in the foremost rank of 

 those physicians who have devoted special attention 

 to the diseases of early life. We attempt no ana- 

 lysis of this edition r but may refer the reader to some 

 <t the chapters to which the largest additions have 

 been made those on Diphtheria, Disorders of the 

 Mind, and Idiocy, for instance as a prooi that the 

 work is really a new edition j not a mere reprint. 

 la its pretent shape it will be lound of the greatest 

 possible service in the every-day practice of nine- 

 teuths of the profession. Med. Times and Gazette, 

 London, Dec. 10, 1859. 



All things considered, this book of Dr. West is 

 by far the best treatise in our language upon such 

 modifications of morbid action and disease as are 

 witnessed when we have to deal with infancy and 

 childhood. It is true that it confines itself to such 

 disorders as come wichin the province of the phy- 

 sician, and even with respect to these it is unequal 

 ita regards minuteness ot consideration, and some 



diseases it omits to notice altogether. But those 

 who know anything of the present condition ot 

 paediatrics will readily admit chat it would be next 

 to impossible to effect more, or effect it better, than 

 the accoucheur of St. Bartholomew's has done in a 

 single volume. The lecture (XVI.) upon Disorders 

 of the Mind in children is an admirable specimen of 

 .the value of the later information convejed in the 

 Lectures of Dr. Charles West. London Lancet. 

 Oct. 22, 1859. 



Since the appearance of the first edition, about 

 eleven years ago, the experience of the author has 

 doubled; so that, whereas the lectures at first were 

 founded on six hundred observations, and one hun- 

 dred and eighty dissections made among nearly four- 

 teen tliousand children, they now embody tiie results 

 of nine hundred observations, and two Hundred and 

 eighty-eightpost- mortem examinations made among 

 nearly thirty thousand children, who, during the 

 past twetty years, have been under his care.
