“The above work, which is new to most of our 
readers, has achieved great success in Germany, 
having reached the third edition in a very short 
time. It has been introduced as the text-book on 
medicine in the Harvard Medical School. The 
work is especially commendable in its treatment 
of nervous diseases, which are dealt with fully, 
concisely, and clearly. . The pathology of disease, 
as might be expected from so eminent a teacher, 
has received due and careful attention, and this is 
another strong teature of the work. The author 
gives in this work the results of the experience 
and observation of more than six years’ active 
work in the medical clinic in Leipsic.“ We beartily 
commend the work to the attention of our readers.”” 
—Canada Lancet. 
“Tn spite of the fact that within the last year 
or two so many excellent works on general medi- 
cine have appeared, we think there will be found a 
place for the volume before us. The best part of 
the book is the section devoted to nervous diseases, 
The various affections of the nervous system are 
discussed in a very concise way, together with the 
most recent discoveries in neuro-pathology. The 
translators have done their work well, and the edi- 
tor has made a number of important additions. 
Altogether the book is a very valuable contribution 
and compilation, and: will be useful both to teacher 
and practitioner.”— Maryland Medical Journal.

“ The.work before us is one that is peculiarly 
attractive to the student of medicine, not only on 
account of the well-delineated German plans of 
treatment, but especially for the clear and accurate 
pathology given by the author in almost all dis- 
eases, Dr. Shattuck states that he is acquainted 
with no work which treats of the diseases of’ the 
nervous system, in which our knowledge has ad- 
vanced so rapidly of late years, so fully, concisely, 
and clearly. The style is clear for a German work, 
which as a rule do not make models in this par- 
ticular. The translators have overcome the diffi- 
culties of the original so successfully ‘that they 
have made it a decidedly agreeable text-book. 
The book is extremely popular in Germany, hav- 
ing reached the third edition in a comparatively 
short time, and we do not doubt but that its popu- 
larity in America will soon be assured.”-—Jissis- 
sippe Valley Medical Monthly. 
“T like it so well that I have commended it to 
my class and have called special attention to its 
three hundred pages devoted to the nervous sys- 
tem, bringing to date all the knowledge which the 
last ten years, more than many centuries past, 
have brought to the use of the profession,””— 
H. D. Dipama, M.D., Professor of the Principles 
and Practice of Medicine and Clinical Medicine, 
College of Medicine, Syracuse University.

diseases is so excellent that I shall recommend the 
whole book to my class as a text-book on diseases 
of the nervous system.”—Hrnry Hun, M.D., 
LL. D., Dean of the Faculty and Emeritus Pro- 
Sessor o the Institutes of Medicine, Albany Medi- 
cal College. 
“Of the German text-books of practice that 
have been translated into English, Prof. Strim- 
pell’s will probably take the highest rank. Be- 
tween its covers will be found a very complete and 
systematic description of all the diseases which 
are classed under the head of internal medicine. 
Unlike most of the larger works on practice, we 
do not find the preliminary discourse on general 
pathological subjects, an omission which is very 
much to be commended, because there are at the 
pret day so many special treatises upon patho- 
logical subjects that there is no longer a nocessit; 
for such a section in a work of this kind. While it 
is impossible to refer to all these particularly, we 
may call attention to the chapter on Typhoid 
Fever as being especially valuable, not only on ac- 
count of the advanced views in regard to the pa- 
thology of that disease, but also because of the care- 
ful description of its clinical history and of its 
treatment. Taken altogether, it is one of the most 
valuable works on practice that we have, and one 
which every studious practitioner should have 
upon his shelves.””—New York Medical Journal.
