    BY THE SAME AUTHOR, Lately published, price 10s. <od. THE STOMACH IN ITS MOKBID STATES; BEING A PRACTICAL ENQUIRY INTO THE NATURE AND TREATMENT OF THE DISEASES OF THAT ORGAN, AND INTO THE INFLUENCE THEY EXERCISE UPON THE ORIGIN, PROGRESS, AND TERMINATION OF DISEASES of the LIVER, HEART, LUNGS, and BRAIN. 1 CRITICAL NOTICES. Mr. Parker's work will be found well calculated to supersede the defective treatises on Indigestion, and diseases of the Stomach, which have been published as monographs, or have been embodied in practices of physic, or cyclopaedias. Mr. P. has brought all the light of modern physiology to bear on diseases of the stomach ; his practical remarks are always valuable and often original—no modern work appears to us superior in sound and practical infor- mation. —Dublin Journal of Medical Science. One of the most valuable works on the subject of gastrie dis- orders and diseases, that has ever appeared in the English language, or we believe in any other tongue.—Johnson's Med-chir. Review. The most important division of Mr. Parker's work, and perhaps the one which he has treated most ably, is that in which he dis- cusses the influence of morbid states of the stomach, on the origin and progress of disease in remoter organs. Aware, from experience, of the reality of the stomach's influence upon the course of disease, he first examines its healthy relations to other organs, and after- wards endeavours to trace their morbid sympathies by a constant reference to well-marked and accurately observed cases; and having thus obtained definite and consistent facts, he next seeks to apply them to the better elucidation of the curative treatment. We hail this publication with pleasure, as the production of a practical and at the same time a reflecting and experienced mind.—British, and Foreign Medical Review.
