It is representative of the most advanced 

 views of tlie profession, and tlie subject is 

 pruned of the vast amount of superstition and 

 nonsense tliat generally obtains in connection 

 with epilepsy. — "Medical Age. 



Every physician who would get at the gist 

 of all that is worth knowing on epilepsy, and 

 who would avoid useless research auioilg the 

 mass of literary nonsense which pervades all 

 medical libraries, should get this woik." — The 

 Sanitarian. 



It contains all that is known of the pathology 

 of this strange disorder, a clear discussion of 

 the diagnosis from allied neuroses, and the 

 very latest therapeutic measures for relief. 



It is renin rkable for its clearness, brevity, .and 

 beauty of style. It is, so far as the reviewer 

 knows, altogether the best essay ever written 

 upon this important subject. — Kansas City 

 Medical Index. 



The task of preparing the work must have 

 been most laborious, but we think that Dr. 

 Hare will be repaid for his efforts by a wide 

 appreciation of the work by the profession ; 

 for the book will be instructive to those who 

 have not kept abreast with the recent litera- 

 ture upon this subject. Indeed, the work is a 

 sort of Dictionary of epilepsy — a refe^'ence 

 guide-book upon "the subject. — Alienist and 

 Neurologist.

The author has done an able piece of work 

 in showing the facts as far as they are known 

 concerning the action of antipyrin, anti- 

 fetarin, phenacetin, thallin, and salicylic acid. 

 The reader will certainly find the work one of 



the most interesting of its excellent group,

 ence Scries. — The Dosimetric Medical Revieiv. 



Such books as the present one are of service 

 to the student, the scientific therapeutist, and 

 the general jiractitioner alike, for much can 

 be found of real value in Dr. Hare's book, with 

 the additional advantage that it is up to the 

 latest researches upon the subject. — Univer-
