It is now generally conceded that the nervous system controls all of the physical functions to a greater or less extent, and also that niost of the symptoms encountered at the bedside can be explained and interpreted from the stand-point of nervous physiology. The unprecedented sale of this work during the short period which has elap-sed .since its publication has already compelled the publishers to print a second edition, which is already nearly exhausted. We are glad to note that Dr. Ranney has pub- lished in ciolc form his admirable lectures on nervous diseases. His book contains over seven hflhdred large pages, and is profusely illustrated with origi- nal diagrams and sketches in colors, and with many carefully selected wood-cuts and reproduced photo- graphs of typical cases. A large amount of valua- ble information, not a little of which has but recently appeared in medical literature, is presented in com- pact form, and thus made easily accessible. In our opinion. Dr. Ranney's book ought to meet with a cordial reception at the hands of the medical pro- fession, for, even though the author's views may be sometimes open to question, it cannot be disputed that his work bears evidence of scientific method and honest opinion.—American you.rna.1 of Insanity.

Is. 30 fr. 30 ?t?tce the puhlisher brought this valuable work before the profession, it has become : 1st, the text-book of a large number of colleges; 3d, the reference-book of the U. S. Army, Navy, and the Marine Sen'lce; mid, 3d, an important and valued addition to the librarief. of over 7000 physicians. This book has not only the inherent merit of presenting a clear expose of the subject, but it is written with a view to enable the general practitioner to treat his cases himself. To facilitate diagnosis, colored platen are introduced, showing the appearance of the differ- ent parts in the diseavsed state as they appear in nature by artificial light. No error can thus be made, as each affection of the nose and throat has its representative in the 100 clwomo-lithographs presented. In the matter of treatment,, the indications are so complete that even the slightest procedures, folding of cotton for the forceps, the use of the probe, otc, are clearly explained. they would appear to him were they seen in the living subject. As a guide to the tre.ttmcnt of the nose and throat, wc can cordially recommend ihii v/otV.—Boston Mrtiiral and Surgicni Jont tiat. It is intended to furnish the general practitioner not <mly with ? guide for the treatment of diseases of the nose and throat, but also to place before him a representation of the normal and diseased parts a.s
