    THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. A TEXT-BOOK FOR PHYSICIANS AND STUDENTS. By Dr. LUDWIG HIRT, PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BRESLAU. SECOND AMERICAN EDITION, REVISED FROM THE SECOND GERMAN EDITION By AUGUST HOCH, M. D., ASSISTED BY FRANK R. SMITH, A. M. (Cantab.), M. D., ASSISTANT PHYSICIANS TO THE JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL. WITH AN INTRODUCTION By WILLIAM OSLER, M. D., F. R. C. P., PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE IN THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, AND PHYSICIAN IN CHIEF TO THE JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL, BALTIMORE. 8vo, 715 pages. With 181 Illustrations. Cloth, $5.00; sheep, $6.00. This work possesses many points which are sufficiently novel to justify its transla- tion and publication in this country. The general practitioner is perhaps more in need of reliable text-books on diseases of the nervous system than is the specialist. . . . The volume before us admirably meets his requirements, and to a very great extent covers those parts of the study which have not been fully presented by former writers. . . . The work of the translators is perfect, leaving no trace of the German idioms.—Ohio Medical Journal. The profession of this country stands under the greatest obligation to the trans- lators of this standard work for having thus furnished the opportunity of making use of one of the best works ever published upon the subject. As a work of reference to the physician it has no equal. To specialists in this branch of diseases it is invaluable. As features of especial commendation may be mentioned the author's clearness in the ana- tomical and symptomatological arrangement of diseases.—Nashville Journal of Medicine and Surgery. The translators of this volume have conferred a favor upon English-reading mem- bers of the profession by their excellent rendering of the work of Professor Hirt. The text is especially valuable for the clear, accurate, and well-ordered description of pathological anatomy and symptomatology. As regards treatment, the author may be accepted as a safe guide. . . . The typography and plates of this work are all that can be desired.—Medical Bulletin.
