" The work has in it much that is instructive and 

 attractive, and is quite an addition to a field of lit- 

 erature which may be considered novel. . . ." 

 College and Clinical Record. 



' ' The book should find its way everywhere on its 

 merits, and will be welcomed by a host of interested 

 readers." Medical Press of Western New York. 



" This is a valuable little work on cocaine, giving 

 the author's method of increasing and prolonging 

 the cocaine anaesthesia. . . . Some very formidable 

 operations, even amputation of the thigh, have been 

 performed by this method and with but very little 

 pain. It is a valuable contribution to surgical prac- 

 tice." Peoria Medical Monthly. 



"The book merits careful consideration, as being 

 an interesting and practical original contribution to 

 surgery." Medical Bulletin. 



" The work is worthy the careful study of every 

 practical surgeon and physician. It is clearly writ- 



ten, with little useless padding. The author stops 

 when he has said what he wishes." American 

 Lancet. 



"To Dr. Corning belongs the honor of discov- 

 ering that cocaine anaesthesia may be almost indefi- 

 nitely prolonged by checking the circulation in the 

 part anaesthetized by means of an Esmarch's band- 

 age, and any one desiring full details should send to 

 the Appletons for this neat little work." Kansas 

 City Medical Index. 



"It is of interest to note the author's statement 

 that the ' discovery in question was in no respect the 

 result of a chance, but was, on the contrary, the di- 

 rect outgrowth of a chain of deductive reasoning.' 

 The importance of this discovery needs no insisting 

 on ; and no surgeon can afford to be in ignorance 

 of its details, or can fail to be scientifically the richer 

 for the possession of the present work." New Eng- 

 land Medical Gazette.

provingly of its design, scope, and execution." 

 Philadelphia Medical Times. 



" This is an admirably written book, and is full 

 of those important practical details necessary for 

 the med:cal and surgical nurse. In fact, it could be 

 read with profit by every medical student and young 

 practitioner." Medical Record. 



"This book', in twenty-three chapters, communi- 

 cates a large quantity of useful information in a 

 form intelligible to the public. It is well written, 

 remarkablv correct, sufficiently illustrated, and hand- 

 somely printed. The amount of technical skill and 

 knowledge required of nurses at the present day 

 makes the use of some text-book indispensable. 

 To those who need such a work we can speak ap- 



MEDICINE OF THE FUTURE. An Address prepared for 



the Annual Meeting of the British Medical Association in 1886. By AUS- 

 TIN FLINT (Senior), M. D., LL. D. 



With Steel Engraving of the author. I2mo, 37 pages. Cloth, $l.oo. 



"The above, the last of the thoughts of Austin 

 Flint, should be in the hands of every, admirer of 

 the great and good physician, and who that knows 

 anything of American medicine did not admire 

 him ? Flint never wrote anything that was not 

 pood, and the nice little book souvenir before us 

 bears that characteristic. The manuscript was found 

 among his papers after his death, and was printed 

 just as it was written. It contains a good likeness 

 of the author an elegant steel engraving and 

 nothing has been left undone by the well-known 

 publishers to make it attractive." Mississippi Val- 

 ley Medical Monthly. 



" The late Dr. Austin Flint was appointed to 

 read the address on Medicine before the British 

 Medical Association at its meeting in 1886. The 

 manuscript was found among his papers, and the 

 address is printed precisely as it was written. The 

 proof was reverently read by his son, who dedicates 

 this, his father's last literary work, to the profession 

 he so loved and admired. The book contains an 

 excellent portrait of the late Dr. Flint. It is a most 

 fitting memorial volume. The address itself is a 

 most scholarly work, and should be added to the 

 library of every practitioner." Buffalo Medical and 

 Surgical Journal.
