" The above work, which is new to most of our 

 readers, has achieved great success in Germany, hav- 

 ing reached the third edition in a very short time. 

 It has been introduced as the text-book on medicine 

 in the Harvard Medical School. The work is espe- 

 cially commendable in its treatment of nervous dis- 

 eases, which are dealt with fully, concisely, and 

 clearly. The pathology of disease, as might be ex- 

 pected from so eminent a teacher, has received due 

 and careful attention, and this is another strong 

 feature of the work. The author gives in this work 

 the results of the experience and observation of more 

 than six years' active work in the medical clinic in 

 Leipsic. We heartily commend the work to the at- 

 tention of our readers." Canada Lancet. 



" In spite of the fact that within the last year or 

 two so many excellent works on general medicine 

 have appeared, we think there will be found a place 

 for the volume before us. The best part of the book 

 is the section devoted to nervous diseases. The va- 

 rious affections of the nervous system are discussed 

 in a very concise way, together with the most recent 

 discoveries in neuro-pathology. The translators 

 have done their work well, and the editor has made 

 a number of important additions. Altogether the 

 book is a very valuable contribution and compilation, 

 and will be useful both to teacher and practitioner."

" The work before us is one that is peculiarly at- 

 tractive to the student of medicine, not only on ac- 

 count of the well delineated German plans of treat- 

 ment, but especially for the clear and accurate pa- 

 Dr. Shattuck states that he is acquainted with no 



work which treats of the diseases of the narvous system, in which our knowledge has advanced so rapidly 

 of late years, so fully, concisely, and clearly. The style is clear for a German work, which as a rule do 

 not make models in this particular. The translators have overcome the difficulties of the original so suc- 

 cessfully that they have made it a decidedly agreeable text-book. The book is extremely popular in Ger- 

 many, having reached the third edition in a comparativalv short time, and we do not doubt but that its 

 popularity in Am2rica will soon be assured." Mississippi Valley Medical Monthly. 



" I like it so well that I have commended it to 

 my class and have called special attention to its 

 three hundred pages devoted to the nervous system, 

 bringing to date all the knowledge which the last ten 

 years, more than many centuries past, have brought 

 to the use of the profession." H. D. DIDAMA, 

 M. D. , Professor of the Principles and Practice of 

 Medicine and Clinical Medicine, College of Medi- 

 cine, Syracuse University. 



"I consider it the best text-book of medicine 

 with which I am acquainted. The part on nervous 

 diseases is so excellent that I shall recommend the 

 whole book to my class as a text-book on diseases of 

 the nervous system." HENRY HUN, M. D., LL. D., 

 Dean of the Faculty and Emeritus Professor of t lie 

 Institutes of Medicine, Albany Medical College. 



"Of the German text-books of practice that 

 have been translated into English, Professor Strum- 

 pell's will probably take the highest rank. Between 



its covers will be found a very complete and sys- 

 tematic description of all the diseases which are 

 classed under the head of internal medicine. Un- 

 like most of the larger works on practice, we do not 

 find the preliminary discourse on general pathologi- 

 cal subjects, an omission which is very much to be 

 commended, because there are at the present day so 

 many special treatises upon pathological subjects 

 that there is no longer a necessity for such a section 

 in a work of this kind. While it is impossible to 

 refer to all these particularly, we may call attention 

 to the chapter on Typhoid Fever as being especially 

 valuable, not only on account of the advanced views 

 in regard to the pathology of that disease, but also 

 because of the careful description of its clinical his- 

 tory and of its treatment. Taken altogether, it is 

 one of the most valuable works on practice that we 

 have, and one which every studious practitioner 

 should have upon his shelves." New York Medical 

 jfournal.
