GENERAL CONTENTS.

? Since its first appearance in 1880, Prof. Landois’ Text-Book of Physiology has been translated into three Foreign languages, and passed through Seven Large Editions.

The Fourth English Edition has again been thoroughly revised, and a new feature introduced—that of printing some of the Illustrations in Colours. The number of figures has also been largely increased, from 494 in the First, to 845 in the present Edition. In order to do full justice to the coloured illustrations, and to admit of more of the text being printed in large type, it has been found necessary to put the work once again in two volumes.

Opinions of the Press.

“So great are the advantages offered by Prof. Landois’ Text-book, from the EXHAUSTIVE and EMINENTLY PRACTICAL manner in which the subject is treated, that it has passed through FOUR large editions in the same number of years. ... Dr. Stirling’s annotations have materially added to the value of the work. Admirably adapted for the Practitioner. ... With this Text-book at command, no Student could fail in his examination.”—The Lancet.

“One of the MOST PRACTICAL WORKS on Physiology ever written, forming a ‘bridge’ between Physiology and Practical Medicine. ... Its chief merits are its completeness and conciseness. ... The additions by the Editor are able and judicious. Excellently clear, attractive, and succinct.”—Brit. Med. Journal.

“The great subjects dealt with are treated in an admirably clear, terse, and happily-illustrated manner. At every turn the doctrines laid down are illuminated by reference to facts of Clinical Medicine or Pathology.”—Practitioner.

“We have no hesitation in saying that THIS IS THE WORK to which the Practitioner will turn whenever he desires light thrown upon, or information as to how he can best investigate, the phenomena of a COMPLICATED OR IMPORTANT CASE. To the Student it will be EQUALLY VALUABLE.”—Edinburgh Medical Journal.

“Landois and Stirling’s work cannot fail to establish itself as one of the most useful and popular works known to English readers.”—Manchester Medical Chronicle.

“As a work of reference, Landois and Stirling’s Treatise OUGHT TO TAKE THE FOREMOST PLACE among the text books in the English language. The woodcuts are noticeable for their number and beauty.”—Glasgow Medical Journal.

“Unquestionably the most admirable exposition of the relations of Human Physiology to Practical Medicine that has ever been laid before English readers.”—Students’ Journal.

CLINICAL MEDICINE.

A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK FOR PRACTITIONERS AND STUDENTS.

By JUDSON BURY, M.D., F.R.C.P.,
Senior Assist. Phys., Manchester Royal Infirmary.

“We may say at once that Dr. Judson Bury has SUCCEEDED WELL. His book is planned upon RATIONAL LINES, ... intended for PRACTICAL SERVICE. ... His work will take a PROMINENT PLACE amongst books of its class, and is one, too, to which the clinical student can TRUST, as being reliable. ... The illustrations are numerous and TELLING.”—The Lancet.

“This Manual is sure AT ONCE to take a FOREMOST PLACE as a guide in clinical work. ... Seeks to utilise at the bedside the most recent researches of the Physiologist, the Chemist, and the Bacteriologist. ... Belongs to the same series of Manuals which has given us the issue of Landois’ ‘Physiology,’ wherein Prof. Stirling sought to bring the most advanced Physiology into relationship with clinical work; and the very valuable treatise of V. Jaksch on ‘Clinical Diagnosis.”—British Medical Journal.

“This is the latest of the splendid Series of Text-books which Messrs. Charles Griffin & Company have been the means of placing in the hands of the profession. The volume will maintain the reputation of its predecessors, and we HEARTILY CONGRATULATE Dr. Judson Bury on the EXCELLENCE of his book and the STERLING CONTRIBUTION to medical literature which, in its publication, he has made.”—Dublin Medical Journal.

In Large 8vo. With Chromo-Lithograph, Folding Plate, and Illustrations in the Text. Handsome Cloth, 25s.

? This work is the result of the special opportunities which London Practice affords as, probably, the largest field of observation for the study of Gout. It is based on the experience derived from both Hospital and Private Practice, each of which furnishes distinctive phases of the disease.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“Thoroughly practical and highly philosophical. The practitioner will find in its pages an ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF INFORMATION. ... A monument of clinical observation, of extensive reading, and of close and careful reasoning.”—Practitioner.

“All the known facts of Gout are carefully passed in review. ... We have chapters upon the clinical varieties of Gout, and the affections of special organs and textures. ... A very VALUABLE STOREHOUSE of material on the nature, varieties, and treatment of Gout.”—Lancet.

“A very well written, clear, and THOROUGHLY SATISFACTORY EPITOMÉ of our present knowledge upon the subject of Gout.”—Philadelphia Therapeutic Gazette.

“Impartial in its discussion of theories, full and accurate in its description of clinical facts, and a TRUSTWORTHY GUIDE TO TREATMENT.”—British Medical Journal.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“The wide subject of the etiology of rheumatism is carefully treated. ... The discussion of etiology is completed by a full analysis of the conditions which determine individual attacks. ... Dr. Garrod is to be congratulated on having put before the profession SO CLEAR AND COHERENT an account of the rheumatic diseases. The style of his work is eminently readable.”—Lancet.

“Well written and reliable. ... We have little doubt that this monograph will take rank with the best treatises on special medical subjects in the English language.”—Dublin Medical Journal.

“An EXCELLENT ACCOUNT of the clinical features of the diseases in question. The chapters on treatment are THOROUGHLY PRACTICAL.”—Manchester Medical Chronicle.

DISEASES OF THE SKIN
(A TREATISE ON),

With Special Reference to Diagnosis and Treatment, Including an Analysis of 12,000 Consecutive Cases.

By T. M’CALL ANDERSON, M.D.,
Professor of Clinical Medicine, University if Glasgow.

Professor M’Call Anderson’s Treatise, affording, as it does, a complete rÉsumÉ of the best modern practice, is written—not from the standpoint of the University Professor—but from that of one who, during upwards of a quarter of a century, has been actively engaged both in private and in hospital practice, with unusual opportunities for studying this class of disease, hence the PRACTICAL and CLINICAL directions given are of great value.

Speaking of the practical aspects of Dr. Anderson’s work, the British Medical Journal says:—“Skin diseases are, as is well known, obstinate and troublesome, and the knowledge that there are ADDITIONAL RESOURCES besides those in ordinary use will give confidence to many a puzzled medical man, and enable him to encourage a doubting patient. Almost any page might be used to illustrate the fulness of the work in this respect. ... The chapter on Eczema, that universal and most troublesome ailment, describes in a comprehensive spirit, and with the greatest accuracy of detail, the various methods of treatment. Dr. Anderson writes with the authority of a man who has tried the remedies which he discusses, and the information and advice which he gives cannot fail to prove extremely valuable.”

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“Professor M’Call Anderson has produced a work likely to prove VERY ACCEPTABLE to the busy practitioner. The sections on treatment are very full. For example, Eczema has 110 pages given to it, and 73 of these pages are devoted to treatment.”—Lancet.

“Beyond doubt, the MOST IMPORTANT WORK on Skin Diseases that has appeared in England for many years. ... Conspicuous for the AMOUNT AND EXCELLENCE of the CLINICAL AND PRACTICAL information which it contains.”—British Medical Journal.

“The work may be regarded as a storehouse of FACTS gathered and sifted by one whose opinion is entitled to the highest respect, and we have no hesitation in stating our belief that it has NO EQUAL in this country.”—Edinburgh Medical Journal.

“Essentially a useful book, clear and graphic in description, dogmatic and hopeful on questions of treatment.”—Birmingham Medical Review.

DISEASES OF THE EYE
(A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON),

By EDOUARD MEYER,
Prof. À l’École Pratique de la FacultÉ de MÉdecine de Paris,
Chev. of the Leg. of Honour, &c.

Translated from the Third French Edition, with Additions as
contained in the Fourth German Edition,
By F. FERGUS, M.B., Ophthalmic Surgeon, Glasgow Infirmary.

The particular features that will most commend Dr. Meyer’s work to English readers are—its CONCISENESS, its HELPFULNESS in explanation, and the PRACTICALITY of its directions. The best proof of its worth may, perhaps, be seen in the fact that it has now gone through three French and four German editions, and has been translated into most European languages—Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Polish—and even into Japanese.

Opinions of the Press.

“A good translation of a good book. ... A sound guide in the diagnosis and treatment of the various diseases of the eye that are likely to fall under the notice of the general Practitioner. The Paper, Type, and Chromo-Lithographs are all that could be desired. ... We know of no work in which the DISEASES and DEFORMITIES of the LIDS are more fully treated. Numerous figures illustrate almost every defect remediable by operation.”—Practitioner.

“A very trustworthy guide in all respects. ... thoroughly practical. Excellently translated, and very well got up. Type, Woodcuts, and Chromo-Lithographs are alike excellent.”—Lancet.

“Any Student will find this work of great value. ... The chapter on Cataract is excellent. ... The Illustrations describing the various plastic operations are specially helpful.”—Brit. Med. Journal.

“An excellent translation of a standard French Text-Book. ... We can cordially recommend Dr. Meyer’s work. It is essentially a practical work. The Publishers have done their part in the tasteful and substantial manner characteristic of their medical publications. The Type and the Illustrations are in marked contrast to most medical works.”—Ophthalmic Review.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“Will take the HIGHEST RANK as a Text-Book of Mental Diseases.”—British Medical Journal.

“Without doubt the BEST BOOK in English of its kind. ... The chapter on Epileptic Insanity and that on the Pathology of Insanity are perfect, and show a power of work and originality of thought which are admirable.”—Journal of Mental Science.

“The work, all through, is the outcome of original observation and research.”—Mind.

“A SPLENDID ADDITION to the literature of mental diseases. ... The anatomical and histological section is ADMIRABLY DONE. ... The clinical section is concise and tersely written. It is, however, to the pathological section that the work owes its chief merit. As a standard work on the pathology of mental diseases this work should occupy a prominent place in the library of every alienist physician.”—Dublin Medical Journal.

“Affords a fulness of information which it would be difficult to find in any other treatise in the English language.”—Edin. Medical Journal.

“We record our conviction that the book is the best and most complete treatise upon the pathological aspect of the subject with which we are familiar. ... An ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSABLE addition to every alienist’s and neurologist’s library.”—The Alienist and Neurologist.

“It would be quite impossible to say too much in praise of the ILLUSTRATIONS.”—American Journal of Insanity.

THE
PHYSIOLOGIST’S NOTE-BOOK:
A SUMMARY OF THE
Present State of Physiological Science for Students.

BY

ALEX HILL, M.A., M.D.,
Master of Downing College, Cambridge.

With Numerous Illustrations and Blank Pages for MS. Notes.

General Contents.—The Blood—The Vascular System—The Nerves—Muscle—Digestion—The Skin—The Kidneys—Respiration—The Senses—Voice and Speech—Central Nervous System—Reproduction—Chemistry of the Body.

CHIEF FEATURES OF DR. HILL’S NOTE-BOOK.

1. It helps the Student to CODIFY HIS KNOWLEDGE.

2. Gives a grasp of BOTH SIDES of an argument.

3. Is INDISPENSABLE for RAPID RECAPITULATION.

The Lancet says of it:—“The work which the Master of Downing College modestly compares to a Note-book is an ADMIRABLE COMPENDIUM of our present information ... will be a REAL ACQUISITION to Students ... gives all ESSENTIAL POINTS. ... The TYPOGRAPHICAL ARRANGEMENT is a chief feature of the book. ... Secures at a glance the EVIDENCE on both sides of a theory.”

The Hospital says:—“The Physiologist’s Note-book bears the hall-mark of the Cambridge School, and is the work of one of the most successful of her teachers. ... Will be INVALUABLE to students.”

The British Medical Journal commends in the volume—“Its admirable diagrams, its running bibliography, its clear Tables, and its concise statement of the anatomical aspects of the subject.”

“If a Student could rely on remembering every word which he had ever heard or read, such a book as this would be unnecessary; but experience teaches that he constantly needs to recall the form of an argument and to make sure of the proper classification of his facts, although he does not need a second time to follow the author up all the short steps by which the ascent was first made. With a view to rendering the book useful for rapid recapitulation, I have endeavoured to strike out every word which was not essential to clearness, and thus, without I hope falling into ‘telegram’ English, to give the text the form which it may be supposed to take in a well-kept Note-book; at the same time, space has been left for the introduction in MS. of such additional facts and arguments as seem to the reader to bear upon the subject-matter. For the same reason the drawings are reduced to diagrams. All details which are not necessary to the comprehension of the principles of construction of the apparatus or organ, as the case may be, are omitted, and it is hoped that the drawings will, therefore, be easy to grasp, remember, and reproduce.

“As it is intended that the ‘Note-book’ should be essentially a Student’s book, no references are given to foreign literature or to recondite papers in English; but, on the other hand, references are given to a number of classical English memoirs, as well as to descriptions in text-books which appear to me to be particularly lucid, and the Student is strongly recommended to study the passages and Papers referred to.”—Extract from Author’s Preface.

By WILLIAM STIRLING, M.D., Sc.D.,
Professor in the Victoria University, Brackenbury Professor of Physiology and Histology in the Owens
College, Manchester; and Examiner in the Universities of Oxford, Edinburgh, and London;

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“The general plan of the work is ADMIRABLE. ... It is very evident that the suggestions given are the outcome of a PROLONGED EXPERIENCE in teaching Practical Histology, combined with a REMARKABLE JUDGMENT in the selection of METHODS. ... Merits the highest praise for the ILLUSTRATIONS, which are at once clear and faithful.”—British Medical Journal.

“We can confidently recommend this small but CONCISELY-WRITTEN and ADMIRABLY ILLUSTRATED work to students. They will find it to be a VERY USEFUL and RELIABLE GUIDE in the laboratory, or in their own room. All the principal METHODS of preparing tissues for section are given, with such precise directions that little or no difficulty can be felt in following them in their most minute details. ... The volume proceeds from a MASTER in his craft.”—Lancet.
