Dr. Richardson has succeeded in producing a 

 work which is elevated in conception, comprehen- 

 sive in scope, scientific in .character, systematic in 

 arrangement, and which is written in a clear, con- 

 cise and pleasant manner. He evinces the happy 

 faculty of extracting the pith of what is known on 

 the subject, and of presenting it in a most simple, 

 intelligent and practical form. There is perhaps 

 no similar work written for the general public 

 thatcontains such acomplete,reliable and instruc- 

 tive collection of data upon the diseases common 

 to the race, their origins, causes, and the measures 

 for their prevention. The descriptions of diseases 

 are clear, chaste and scholarly ; the discussion of 



the question of disease is comprehensive, masterly 

 and fully abreast with the latest and best knowl- 

 edge on the subject, and the preventive measures 

 advised are accurate, explicit and reliable. The 

 American Journal of the Medical Sciences, April, 1884. 



This is a book that will surely find a place on the 

 table of every progressive physician. To the 

 medical profession, whose duty is quite as much to 

 prevent as to cure disease, the book will be a boon.

 able hygienic information. Medical and Surgicat

Prof, of Materia Medica and General Therapeutics in the Jefferson Med. Coll. of Phila., etc. 

 Medical Electricity. A Practical Treatise on the Applications of Electricity 

 to Medicine and Surgery. Second edition. In one very handsome octavo volume of 292 

 pages, with 109 illustrations. Cloth, $2.50. 



The second edition of this work following so 

 soon upon the first would in itself appear to be a 



sufficient announcement; nevertheless, the text 

 has been so considerably revised and condensed, 

 and so much enlarged by the addition of new mat- 



A most excellent work, addressed by a practi- 

 tioner to his fellow-practitioners, and therefore 



thoroughly practical. The work now before us 

 has the exceptional merit of clearly pointing out 

 where the benefits to be derived from electricity 



ter, that we cannot fail to recognize a vast improve- i must come. It contains all and everything that 

 ment upon the former work. The author has pre- I the practitioner needs in order to understand in- 



pared his work for students and practitioners for 

 those who have neve-- acquainted themselves with 

 the subject, or, having done so, find that after a 

 time their knowledge needs re fresh ing. We think 

 he has accomplished this object. The book is not 



too voluminous, but if tho 



practical, sim- 



ple, complete and comprehensible. It is, more- 

 over, replete with numerous illustrations of instru- 

 ments, appliances, etc. Medical Record, November

telligently the nature and laws of the agent he is 

 making use of, and for its proper application in 

 practice. In a condensed, practical form, it pre- 

 sents to the physician all that he would wish to 

 remember after perusinga whole library on medical 

 electricity, including the results of the latest in- 

 vestigations. It is the book for the practitioner, 

 and the necessity for a second edition proves that 

 it has been appreciated by the profession. Physi- 

 cian and Surgeon, Dec. 1882.
