“The work has in it much that is instructive 
and attractive, and is quite an addition to a field of 
literature which may be considered novel. . . .”?’— 
College and Clinical Record. 
“The book should find its way every where 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, giv- 
ing the author’s method of increasing and prolons 
ing the cocaine anesthesia. . . . Some very formida- 
ble 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 
practice.”’—Peorta Medical Monthly. 
‘« The book merits careful consideration, as being 
an eave any Sa aes 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 
pies he has said ‘what he wishes.’’—American 
ance. 
“To Dr. Corning belongs the honor of discov- 
ering that cocaine anesthesia may be almost indefi- 
nitely prolonged by checking the circulation in the 
part anesthetized by means of an Esmarch’s band- 
age, and any one desiring full details should send 
to the Appletons for this neat little work.”—Xan- 
sas City Medical Index. 
“Tt 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 
direct 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 poueston of the present work.””— 
New England Medical Gazette.

Ua det the effects of heat or cold, apoplexy, epilepsy, those rescued from the water, and other acci-

the elementary principles of anatomy and physiology, including the anatomy of chapel ligaments, carti- 
lages, joints, muscles, synovial membranes, arteries and veins, and the physiology o' 
circulation, res- 
piration, alimentation, secretion, excretion, and the nervous system, both subjects being protusely illus-

This is followed by 
instructions in bandaging and the use of antiseptics and disinfectants ; after which the various conditions 
in which one may be placed by accident, are treated in a manner 
calculated to enable any person, who 
has mastered the contents of the book, to render intelligent assistance to the sufferer. Illustrations ere
