" The merits of the book are many. Aside from the praiseworthy 

 work of the printer and binder, which gives us a print and page 

 that delights the eye, there is the added charm of a style of writ- 

 ing that is not wearisome, that makes its statements clearly and 

 forcibly, and that knows when to stop when it has said enough. 

 The insertion of typical temperature charts certainly enhances the 

 value of the book. It is rare, too, to find in any text-book so many 

 topics treated of. All the rarer and out-of-the-way diseases are 

 given consideration. This we commend. It makes the work 

 valuable." Archives of Pedriatics , July , i8qo. 



" The author has avoided the not uncommon error of writing a. 

 book on general medicine and labeling it ' Diseases of Children,' 

 but has steadily kept in view the diseases which seemed to be 

 incidental to childhood, or such points in disease as appear to be so 

 peculiar to or pronounced in children as to justify insistence upon 

 them. * * * A safe and reliable guide, and in many ways 

 admirably adapted to the wants of the student and practitioner." 

 American Journal of Medical Science. 



" Thoroughly individual, original and earnest, the work evi- 

 dently of a close observer and an independent thinker, this book, 

 though small, as a handbook or compendium is by no means made 

 up of bare outlines or standard facts." The Therapeutic Ga- 

 zette. 



"As it is said of some men, so it might be said of some books, 

 that they are ' born to greatness.' This new volume has, we 

 believe, a mission, particularly in the hands of the younger 

 members of the profession. In these days of prolixity in medical 

 literature, it is refreshing to meet with an author who knows both 

 what to say and when he has said it. The work of Dr. Goodhart 

 (admirably conformed, by Dr. Starr, to meet American require- 

 ments) is the nearest approach to clinical teaching without the 

 actual presence of clinical material that we have yet seen." New 

 York Medical Record.
