Prof. Neumann ranks second only’ to Hebra, whose assistant he was for many years, and his work 
may be considered as a fair exponent of the German practice of Dermatology. The book is abundantly 
illustrated with plates of the histology and pathology of the skin. The translator has endeavored, by 
means of notes from French, English, and American sources, to make the work valuable to the student 
as well as to the practitioner.

to my class of students at the University of Pennsyl- 
opinion of the book in print, and am glad that it is

ject.”—Louis A. Duhring.

Neumann’s admirable work in its original shape,

NIEMEYER. A Text-Book of Practical Medicine. With Par- 
ticular Reference to Physiology and Pathological Anatomy. By the late 
Dr. Fetix von Niemeyer, Professor of Pathology and Therapeutics ; 
Director of the Medical Clinic of the University of Tubingen. Trans- 
lated from the eighth German edition, by special permission of the author, 
by Grorcre H. Humpureys, M.D., one of the Physicians to Trinity 
Infirmary, Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, etc., and 
Cuar.es E. Hacxiry, M.D., one of the Physicians to the New York 
Hospital and Trinity Infirmary, etc.: Revised edition of 1880. 8vo. 
1,628 pages. Cloth, $9.00; sheep, $11.00. 
The author undertakes, first, to give a picture of disease which shall be as life-like and faithful to 
nature as possible, instead of being a mere theoretical scheme; secondly, so to utilize the more recent 
advances of pathological anatomy, Physiology, and physiological chemistry, as to furnish a clearer in- 
sight into the various processes of disease. 
The work has met with the most flattering reception and deserves success; has been adopted as a 
text-book in many of the medical colleges both in this country and in Europe; and has received the 
very highest encomiums from the medical and secular press.

sustains the reputation of previous ones, and may 
be considered, as to style and matter, superior to 
any translation that could have been made from 
the latest German edition. It will be recollected 
that since the death of Prot. Niemeyer, in 1871, his 
work has been edited by Dr. Eugene Scitz. Al- 
though the latter gentleman has made many: addi- 
tions and changes, he has destroyed somewhat the 
individuality of the original. The American edi- 
tors have wisely resolved to preserve the style of 
the author, and adhere, as closely as possible, to 
his individual views and his particular style. Ex 
tra articles have been inserted on chronic aleohol- 
ism, morphia-poisoning, paralysis agitans, sclero- 
derma, elephantiasis, progressive ernicious 
anemia, and a chapter on yellow fever. The work 
is well printed as usual.’’— Medical Record. 
“The first inquiry in this country regarding a 
German book generally is, ‘Is it a work of practi- 
cal value?’ Without sopping to consider the 
justness of the American idea of the ‘ practical,’

‘Its author is learned in medical literature; he 
has arranged his materials with care and judg-

“While, of course, we can not undertake a re- 
view of this immense work of about 1,600 pages 
in a journal of the size of ours, we may say that 
we have examined the volumes very carefully, as 
to whether to recommend them to practitioners or 
not; and we are glad to say, after a careful review, 
‘Buy the book.’ The chapters are succinctly 
written. Terse terms and, in the main, brief 
sentences arc used. Personal experience is re- 
corded, with a proper statement of facts and obser- 
vations by other authors who are to be trusted. A 
very excellent index is added to the second volume, 
which helps very much for ready reference.”—
