PUBLICATIONS. 



RACES AND PEOPLES. 



By DANIEL G. BRINTON, M.D. 



"The book is good, thoroughly good, and will long 

 remain the best accessible elementary ethnography 

 in our language.''' — The Christian Union. 



""We strongly recommend Dr. Brinton's 'Baces 

 and Peoples' to both beginners and scholars. We 

 are not aware of any other recent work on the 

 science of which it treats in the English language." 

 —Asiatic Quarterly. 



"His book is an excellent one, and we can heartily 

 recommend it as an introductory manual of ethnol- 

 ogy-" — The Monist. 



"A useful and really interesting work, which de- 

 serves to be widely read and studied both in Europe 

 and A.vnericB..''^— Brighton CE>ng.) Herald. 



"This volume is most stimulating. It is written 

 with great clearness, so that anybody can under- 

 stand, and while in some ways, perforce, superficial, 

 grasps very well the complete field of humanity."— 

 The New York Times. 



"Dr. Brinton invests his scientific illustrations and 

 measurements with an indescribable charm of nar- 

 ration, so that 'Races and Peoples.' avowedly a rec- 

 ord of discovered facts, is in reality a strong stim- 

 ulant to the imagination." — Philadelphia Public 

 Ledger. 



' ' The work is indispensable to the student who re- 

 quires an intelligent guide to a course of ethno- 

 graphic reading." — Philadelphia Times. 



Price, postpaid, $1.75. 



THE MODERN MALADY ; or, Suf- 

 ferers from ' Nerves.' 



An introduction to public consideration, 

 from a non-medical point of view, of a con- 

 dition of ill-health which is increasingly 

 prevalent in all ranks of society. In the 

 first part of this work the author dwells on 

 the errors in our mode of treating Neuras- 

 thenia, consequent on the wide ignorance of 

 the subject which still prevails; in the sec- 

 ond part, attention is drawn to the principal 

 causes of the malady. The allegory forming 

 the Introduction to Part I. gives a brief his- 

 tory of nervous exhaustion and the modes of 

 treatment which have at various times been 

 thought suitable to this most painful and try- 

 ing disease.
