"The work Is an admirable one, and adapted to the requirements of the Student, 

 Professor, and Practitioner of Medicine. . . . The reader will find a large amount of 

 information not to be met with in other books, epitomised for him in this. We know of 

 no work that contains so much, or such full and varied information on all subjects con- 

 nected with the Science and Practice of Medicine." — Lancet. 



"Excellent from the beginning, and improved in each successive issue. Dr. Aitken's 

 GREAT and STANDAHD WORK has now, with vast and judicious labour, been brought 

 abreast oPeveryrecent advance in scientific medicine and the healing art, and affords to the 

 Student and Practitioner a store of knowledge and guidance of altogether inestimable value. 

 . . . The first 530 Pages of the Second Volume would, if printed separately, form perhaps 

 the best text-book in our language for the student of Neurolog^y and Insanity. A masterly 

 and philosophical review, characterised by the precision of the specialist, and the 

 breadth of the catholic physician, is presented in these pages of the varied phenomena 

 connected with morbid conditions of the nervous system in their relation to 

 anatomical structure, chemical composition, physiological uses, and pathological changes. 

 . . . A classical work which does honour to British Medicine, and is a compendium of 

 sound knowledge." — Extractfroin Review in "Brain" by y. Crichto7i-Brow7te, M.D.^

 . . . Dr. Aitken is indefatigable in his efforts. . . . The section on Diseases of 

 the Brain and Nervous System is completely remodelled, so as to include all the 

 most recent researches, which in this department have been not less important than they 

 are numerous." — British Medical youmal. 



"The Standard Text-Book in the English Language. . . , There is, perhaps, 

 no work more indispensable for the Practitioner and Student." — Edin. Medical Journal. 



" In its system, in its scope, and in its method of dealing with the subjects treated of, 

 this work differs from all other Text-Books on the Science of Medicine in the English 

 language." — Medical Tijnes and Gazette. 



" The extraordinary merit of Dr. Aitken's work. . . . The author has unquestion- 

 ably performed a service to the profession of the most valuable \:stA."~ Practitioner. 



' Altogether this voluminous treatise is a credit to its Author, its Publisher, and to 

 English Physic. . . Affords an admirable and honest digest of the opinions and 



practice of the day. . . . Commends itself to us for sterling value, width of retrospect, 

 and fairness of representation." — Medico-Ckzrurgical Revie'w. 



"Diseases are here described which have hitherto found no place in any English, 

 systematic work." — Westnii7tster Review. 



" We can say with perfect confidence, that no medical man in India should be without 

 Dr. Aitken's * Science and Practice of Medicine.' The article on Cholera is by far the 

 most complete, judicious, and learned summary of our knowledge respecting this disease 

 which has yet appeared." — Indian Medical Gazette.
