There are many excellent text-books on children's diseases, but they have failed to give a satisfactory 

 account of the diseases of the heart ; and, indeed, as far as known, this work of Keating and Edwards'' n.nv 

 presented to the profession is the only systematic attempt that has been made to collect in book form the 

 abundant material which is scattered throughout medical literature in the form of journal articles, clinical 

 lectures, theses, and reports of societies. 



The authqrs have endeavored, in their difficult task, to collect these valuable materials and place them 

 within easyreach of those who are interested in this important subject. That they have succeeded will, we 

 believe, be conceded by all who obtain and make use of their very valuable contribution to this hitherto- 

 neglected field of medical literature. , 



An appendix, entitled "Clinical Studies on the Pulse in Childhood," follows the index in the book, and 

 will, we are sure, be found of much real value to every practitioner of medicine. The work is made available: 

 for ready reference by a well-arranged index. We append the table of contents showing the scope of the: 

 book : —

INDEX. ' 



APPENDIX.— Clinical Studies on the Pulse 

 in Childhood. 



Drs. Keating and Edwards have produced a work that 

 will give material aid to every doctor in his practice among 

 children. The style'of the book is graphic and pleasing, 

 the diagnostic points are explicit and exact, and the thera- 

 peutical resources include the novelties of medicine as well 

 as the old and tried agents.— Pitfuburt/h Med. Review. 



A very attractive and valuable work has boon given to 

 the medical profession by Drs. Keating and Edwards, in 1 

 their treatise on the diseases of the heart and circulation 

 in infancy :ind adolescence, and they deserve th.9 greatest 

 credit for the admirable manner in which they have col 1 - 

 leetcd. reviewed, and made use of the immense amount of 

 material on this important subject.— Archives of Pediatrics. 



The plan of the work is the correct one, viz., the sup- 

 plementing of the observations of the better class of prac- 

 titioners by the experience of those who have given the 

 subject systematic attention. — Medical Age. 



It is not a mere compilation, but a systematic treatise, 

 and bears evidence of considerable labor and observation on 

 the part of the authors. Two fine photographs of dissep? 

 tions exhibit mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation'.; 

 there are also a number of wood-outs. — Cleveland Medicaf 

 Gazette. ! 



As the works upon diseases of ohildren give little or no- 

 attention to diseases of the heart, this work of Drs. Kent- l 

 ing and Edwards will supply a want- We think that 

 there will be no physician, who takes an interest in the> 

 affections of ynung'folks, who will not wish to consult it. 

 — Cincinnati Med. Neioe. 



The work takes up, in an.ablo and scientific manner-',' 

 diseases of the heart m children. This is a part of the . 

 field of medical science which has not been cultivated to 

 the extent that the importance of the subject deserves. —
