DISEASES AND INJURIES OF THE EYE. 
A Practical Treatise on the Medical and Surgical 
Treatment of the Diseases and Injuries of the Eye. 
By J. H. Burrum, M. D., OQ. et A. Chir.; Professor 
of Ophthalmology and Otology in the Chicago Ho- 
mceopathic Medical College. 428 pages. Containing 
150 wood engravings and 25 colored lithographs. 
Cloth, $4.50. Postage, 20 cents. 
This work is intended as a text-book for students, and a hand-book 
for the general practitioner. It is written in the clear and practical style 
so characteristic of the many other contributions to medical literature 
by the author. The Homeceopathic treatment given has been clearly in- 
dicated, and only those remedies are considered which have borne the 
test in extensive hospital and private practice. 
As avant courier of the coming year, sure to be full of good things, 
comes this new candidate for public favor. We have taken it up with 
interest, scanned its well-filled pages, and now lay it down with a feeling 
of satisfaction because it has met our expectations. For the first time 
we have a representative work in this department. It is well-written 
and handsomely printed —AMedical Advance. 
Chicago has spoken again, and this time through the medium of its 
well-known oculist, Dr. Buffum. The book is well written and practi- 
cal; the descriptions are concise and to the point —WVew England Medt- 
cal Gazette. ; 
This book is the joint production of New York and Chicago—an 
Eastern man ina Western land. We find in it much to commend— 
nothing to condemn. The style is very happy, and presents us with a 
specimen of English which is clear and plain. We do not think there 
is an ambiguous expression in the entire book. The one hundred and 
fifty well-executed engravings light it up so that its lessons amount al- 
most to demonstrations. “Its twenty-five colored lithographs illuminate 
it so that a diagnosis becomes easy and almost certain. There has been 
a demand for just such a work as this, and the demand could not have 
been better answered.— Medical Era. 
Great credit is due Dr. Buffum for his able condensation of the pres- 
ent views pertaining to ophthalmic science. It will be of much service 
and value to students and general practitioners. Only words of praise 
are rendered the publishers for the manner in which they have done 
their work.—Prof. G. S. Norton, in North American Fournal of Home- 
opathy for November, 1883. 
Dr. Buffum has succeeded with rare skill in giving to the reader 
an admirable monograph upon the eye.—Dr. &, Park Lewis, in Medical 
Counselor. 
I shall recommend it to our class in preference to all others.—W. 
A. Phillips, M. D., Prof. of Ophthalmology and Otology in Cleveland 
Hom. Med. College.
