" To the general practitioner in towns, villages,

 port of a consultation can not be availed of, this 

 volume will be recognized as a valuable help. We 

 commend it to the profession." Cincinnati Lancet

A TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF THE NERV- 

 OUS SYSTEM. By WILLIAM A. HAMMOND, M. D., Surgeon-General 

 U. S. Army (retired list) ; Professor of Diseases of the Mind and Nervous

 Member of the American Neurological Association and of the New York

 and enlarged by the Addi- 

 tion of a New Section on 

 Certain Obscure Nervous 

 Diseases. 8vo, 945 pages.

The work has received the 

 honor of a French translation

 has gone through the press at

" In the Buddhist faith the 

 eight gates of purity are de- 

 scribed as: i. Correct ideas ; 2. 

 Correct thoughts ; 3. Correct 

 words ; 4. Correct works ; 5. 

 Correct life ; 6. Correct endeav- 

 ors ; 7. Correct judgment ; and 

 8. Correct tranquillity. If Dr. 

 Hammond has not attained the medical nirvana, and passed those eight gates of purity, he has at least 

 realized the Buddhist beatitude : ' Much insight and education, self-control and pleasant speech ; and 

 whatever word be well spoken, this is the greatest blessing.' At least, the thoughts and utterances of Dr. 

 Hammond have been so appreciated by the medical profession of America aud England that the work has 

 already passed through eight editions since its first appearance in 1871. As now revised by the author 

 and published by the Appletons, it constitutes decidedly the best work in the English language upon dis- 

 eases of the nervous system." Kansas City Medical Index. 



" This excellent work has now been fifteen years 

 before the profession, its popularity being sufficient- 

 ly evidenced by the fact that it has rapidly passed 

 through eight editions." College and Clinical Rec- 

 ord. 



" This great work of the gifted author has now 

 reached its eighth edition. A work of this charac- 

 ter that has. within fifteen years, gone through eight 

 revisions needs but little commendation from us, 

 being fully able to speak for itself. It is, like its au- 

 thor, without a peer in the special line of medicine 

 it takes up. ... If Dr. Hammond had never writ- 



ten anything but this one work, it would have been 

 a monument of learning that would have lasted for 

 ages." Kansas City Medical Record. 



" The author of this work justly congratulates 

 himself that the various previous editions which 

 have been called for have received the approval of 

 the profession beyond that ever given to any other 

 work of like scope and objects published in any part 

 of the world. In order to maintain the high char- 

 acter thus attributed to it by the best judges, he has 

 subjected this edition to a thorough revision, and has 

 added a new section treating of certain obscure dis
