![rpUKE (DANIEL HACK), M.D., ■*■ Joint author of The Ma n vol of Psychological Medicine., Ice. ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE MIND UPON THE BODY IN HEALTH AND DISEASE. Designed to illustrate the Action of the Imagination. In one handsome octavo volume of 416 pages, cloth, $3 25. (Just Issued.) The object of the author in this work has been to show not only the effect of the mind in caus- ing and intensifying disease, but also its curative influence, and the use which may be made of the imngination and the emotions as therapeutic agents. Scattered facts bearing upon this sub- ject have long been familiar to the profession, but no attempt has hitherto been made to collect and systematize them so as to render tbem available to the practitioner, by establishing the seve- ral phenomena upon a scientific basis. In the endeavor thus to convert to the use of legitimate medicine the means which have been employed so successfully in many systems of quackery, the author has produced a work of the highest freshness and interest as well as of permanent value. jQLANDFORD (G.

INSANITY AND ITS TREATMENT: Lectures on the Treatment, Medical and Legal, of Insane Patients. With a Summary of the Laws in force in the United States on the Confinement of the Insane. By Isaac Ray, M. D. In one very handsome octavo volume of 471 pages; cloth, $3 25. This volume is presented to meet the want, so frequently expressed, of a comprehensive trea- tise, in moderate compass, on the pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of insanity. To render it of more value to the practitioner in this country, Dr. Ray has added an appendix which affords in- formation, not elsewhere to be found in so accessible a form, to physicians who may at any moment b« called upon to take action in relation to patients. It satisfies a want which must have been sorely ; actually seen Id practice and the appropriate treat- felt by the busy general practitioners of this country, h takes the form of a manual of clinical description of the various forms of insanity, with a descripiiou of Ihc mode of examining persons suspected of in- sanity, We call particular attention to this feature of the book, as giving it a unique value to the gene- ral practitiouer.

Mr. Lea has done great honor to himself and this country by the admirable works he has written on eocleslological and cognate subjects.

The pre&eut volume is fully as admirable in its me- thod of dealing with topics and in the thoroughness— a quality so frequently lacking in American authors— The story was never told more calmly or with greater learning or wiser thought.
