"It is the duty of every physician to study the action of electricity, to become acquainted with its value in therapeutics, and to follow the improvements that are being made in the apparatus for its application in medicine, that he may be able to choose the one best adapted to the treatment of individual cases, and to test a remedy fairly and without prejudice, which already, especially in nervous diseases, has been used with the best results, and which promises to yield an abundant harvest in a still broader domain."-From Author's Preface.

"Those who do not read German are under great obligations to William A Hammond, who has given them not only an excellent translation of a most excellent work, but has given us much valuable information and many suggestions from his own personal experience."-Medical Record.

"Dr. Moritz Meyer, of Berlin, has been for more than twenty years a laborious and conscientious student of the application of electricity to practical medicine, and the results of his labors are given in this volume. Dr. Hammond, in making a translation of the third German edition, has done a real service to the profession of this country and of Great Britain. Plainly and concisely written, and simply and clearly arranged, it contains just what the physician wants to know on the subject."-N. Y. Medical Journal.

"It is destined to fill a want long felt by physicians in this country."-Journal of Obstetrics.

NIEMEYER.

A Text-Book of Practical Medicine. With Particular Reference to Physiology and Pathological Anatomy.

By the late Dr. FELIX VON NIEMEYER,

Professor of Pathology and Therapeutics; Director of the Medical Clinic of the University of

Tübingen.

Translated from the Eighth German Edition, by special permission of the Author,

By GEORGE H. HUMPHREYS, M. D.,

Late one of the Physicians to the Bureau of Medical and Surgical Relief at Bellevue Hospital for the Out-door Poor; Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, etc.,

and

CHARLES E. HACKLEY, M. D.,

One of the Physicians to the New York Hospital; one of the Surgeons to the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary; Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, etc.

Revised Edition. 2 vols., 8vo. 1,528 pp. Cloth, $9.00; Sheep, $11.00.

The author undertakes, first, to give a picture of disease which shall be as lifelike 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 insight into the various processes of disease.

The work has met with the most flattering reception and deserved 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.

"It is comprehensive and concise, and is characterized by clearness and originality."-Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medicine.

"Its author is learned in medical literature; he has arranged his materials with care and judgment, and has thought over them."-The Lancet.

"As a full, systematic, and thoroughly practical guide for the student and physician, it is not excelled by any similar treatise in any language."-Appletons' Journal.

"The author is an accomplished pathologist and practical physician; he is not only capable of appreciating the new discoveries, which during the last ten years have been unusually numerous and important in scientific and practical medicine, but, by his clinical experience, he can put these new views to a practical test, and give judgment regarding them."-Edinburgh Medical Journal.

"From its general excellence, we are disposed to think that it will soon take its place among the recognized text-books.”—American Quarterly Journal of Medical Sciences.

"The first inquiry in this country regarding a German book generally is, 'Is it a work of practical value?" Without stopping to consider the justness of the American idea of the 'practical,' we can unhesitatingly answer, 'It is !'"-New York Medical Journal.

"The author has the power of sifting the tares from the wheat-a matter of the greatest importance in a text-book for students."-British Medical Journal.

"Whatever exalted opinion our countrymen may have of the author's talents of observation and his practical good sense, his text-book will not disappoint them, while those who are so unfortunate as to know him only by name, have in store a rich treat."-New York Medical Record,

NEUMANN.

Hand-Book of Skin Diseases.

By DR. ISIDOR NEUMANN,

Lecturer on Skin Diseases in the Royal University of Vienna.

Translated from advanced sheets of the second edition, furnished by the Author; with Notes,

By LUCIUS D. BULKLEY, A. M., M. D.,

1 vol., 8vo. About 450 pages and 66 Woodcuts. Cloth, $4.00.

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.

"It is a work which I shall heartily recommend to my class of students at the Univer. sity of Pennsylvania, and one which I feel sure will do much toward enlightening the profession on this subject."-Louis A. Duhring.

"I know it to be a good book, and I am sure that it is well translated; and it is interesting to find it illustrated by references to the views of co-laborers in the same field."Erasmus Wilson.

"So complete as to render it a most useful book of reference."-T. McCall Anderson. "There certainly is no work extant which deals so thoroughly with the Pathological Anatomy of the Skin as does this hand-book."-N. Y. Medical Record.

"The original notes by Dr. Bulkley are very practical, and are an important adjunct to the text. I anticipate for it a wide circulation."-Silas Durkee, Boston.

"I have already twice expressed my favorable opinion of the book in print, and am glad that it is given to the public at last."-James C. White, Boston.

"More than two years ago we noticed Dr. Neumann's admirable work in its original shape; and we are therefore absolved from the necessity of saying more than to repeal our strong recommendation of it to English readers."-Practitioner.

1 vol., 12mo. 161 pp. Cloth, $1.50.

NIGHTINGALE.

Notes on Nursing: What it is, and what it is not.

By FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.

1 vol., 12mo. 140 pp. Cloth, 75 cents.

Every-day sanitary knowledge, or the knowledge of nursing, or, in other words, of how to put the constitution in such a state as that it will have no disease or that it can recover from disease, takes a higher place. It is recognized as the knowledge which every one ought to have-distinct from medical knowledge, which only a profession can have.

PEASLEE.

Ovarian Tumors; Their Pathology, Diagnosis, and Treatment, with reference especially to Ovariotomy.

By E. R. PEASLEE, M. D.,

Professor of Diseases of Women in Dartmouth College; one of the Consulting Physicians to the New York State Woman's Hospital; formerly Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women in the New York Medical College; Corresponding Member of the Obstetrical Society of Berlin, etc.

1 vol., 8vo. Illustrated with many Woodcuts, and a Steel Engraving of Dr. E. McDowell, the "Father of Ovariotomy." Price, Cloth, $5.00.

This valuable work, embracing the results of many years of successful experience in the department of which it treats, will prove most acceptable to the entire profession; while the high standing of the author and his knowledge of the subject combine to make the book the best in the language. It is divided into two parts: the first treating of Ovarian Tumors, their anatomy, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment, except by extirpation; the second of Ovariotomy, its history and statistics, and of the operation. Fully illustrated, and abounding with information the result of a prolonged study of the subject, the work should be in the hands of every physician in the country.

The following are some of the opinions of the press, at home and abroad, of this great work, which has been justly styled, by an eminent critic, "the most complete medical monograph on a practical subject ever produced in this country."

"His opinions upon what others have advised are clearly set forth, and are as interesting and important as are the propositions he has himself to advance; while there are a freshness, a vigor, an authority about his writing, which great practical knowledge alone can confer."The Lancet.

Both Wells's and Peaslee's works will be received with the respect due to the great reputation and skill of their authors. Both exist not only as masters of their art, but as clear and graceful writers. In either work the student and practitioner will find the fruits of rich experience, of earnest thought, and of steady, well-balanced judgment. As England is proud of Wells, so may America well be proud of Peaslee, and the great world of science may be proud of both."-British Medical Journal.

This is an excellent work, and does great credit to the industry, ability, science, and learning of Dr. Peaslee. Few works issue from the medical press so complete, so exhaustively learned, so imbued with a practical tone, without losing other substantial good qualities." -Edinburgh Medical Journal.

"In closing our review of this work, we cannot avoid again expressing our appreciation of the thorough study, the careful and honest statements, and candid spirit, which characterize it. For the use of the student we should give the preference to Dr. Peaslee's work, not only from its completeness, but from its more methodical arrangement.”—American Journal of Medical Sciences.

"Dr. Peaslee brings to the work a thoroughness of study, a familiarity with the whole field of histology, physiology, pathology, and practical gynaecology, not excelled, perhaps, by those of any man who ever performs the operation."-Medical Record.

"If we were to select a single word to express what we regard as the highest excellence of this book, it would be its thoroughness.”—New York Medical Journal.

"We deem its careful perusal indispensable to all who would treat ovarian tumors with a good conscience."-American Journal of Obstetrics.

"It shows prodigal industry, and embodies within its five hundred and odd pages pretty much all that seems worth knowing on the subject of ovarian diseases."-Philadelphia Medical Times.

"Great thoroughness is shown in Dr. Peaslee's treatment of all the details of this very admirable work."- Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.

"It is a necessity to every surgeon who expects to treat this disease.”—Leavenworth Medical Herald.

"Indispensable to the American student of gynecology."-Pacific Medical and Surgical

Journal.

"There is not a doubtful point that could occur to any one that is not explained and answered in the most satisfactory manner."- Virginia Clinical Record.

"The work is one the profession should prize; one that every earnest practitioner should possess."-Georgia Medical Companion.

Dr. Peaslee has achieved a success, and the work is one which no practical surgeon can afford to be without."-Medical Investigator.
