London : Longman, Brown, G-reen, and Longmans. Belfast : Shepherd and Aitchison. BY HENRY M'CORMAC, M.D., Consulting Physician to the Belfast General Hospital. Author of the Methodus Medendi, Moral Sanatory Economy, Treatise on Fever, Philosophy of Human Nature. We have dwelt on the subject at some length, but not more than its great im- portance and the justly high position of the author demand.—Dublin Medical Press, Nov. 1856. Whatever may be the opinion entertained by the profession on the truth of the views on Pulmonary Consumption advanced by Dr. M'Coi-mac, there can be but one sentiment as to the learning and sagacity which this accomplished physi- cian has brought to the task.—Med. Times and Gaz., Oct. 20, 1855. Though we admire the extensive research which he (Dr. M'Cormac) has evi- dently bestowed on the subject, we must warn our readers against the enthusiastic advocacy with which he pleads his cause. We can recommend the book as con- taining much that is useful and practical.—Brit, and For. Med. Chir. Revietv, Jan. 20, 1856. Dr. M'Cormac is an eminent, scientific, and most learned physician, but we must protest against fresh air being raised in this way into a hobby and ridden to death!—Dublin Jownal of Med. Science, Feb. 1856. No one can be more fully alive than we are to the very important parts played by in-door avocations and the breathing of foul air, among the many ex- citing causes which tend to the open manifestations of tuberculosis in those pre- disposed to it, thi-ough the scrofulous dyscrasia, but we are fai' from believing that no other conditions than the above are neither generally present or necessai-y.— Lancet, Nov. 17, 1855. The President remarked that he was much satisfied with the general tenor of this paper ( 0?i Tubercle).—Med. Chirurq. Soc. of Edinburgh, Sessio7i XXXV. 1855-56; Edinb. Med. Joimi., July, 18^6. There was brought before the Society a treatise from the pen of Dr. M'Cormac, of Belfast, on the etiology of tubercle. Dr. M'Cormac perhaps too exclusively regarded the inhalation of vitiated au- as the cause of tubercular deposits, never- theless if the view which ho desires to take be, that the tendency in the blood to deposit tuberciilar matter arises from the imperfect perfonnance of the function of respiration, many facts are favourable to the hypothesis.—7c?.
