    ESSAYS ON THROAT DISEASES. ESSAY No. I. HOARSENESS, LOSS OF VOICE, AND STRIDULOUS BREATHING, IN RELATION TO NERVO-MUSCULAR AFFECTIONS OF THE LARYNX Second Edition. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. The nervous affections of the larynx present an almost untrodden field of inquiry. We beheve the work before us embodies the first attempt which has been made to discriminate between the several affections of its nervous apparatus, and to classify and treat them according to some scientific plan. ... Dr. Mackenzie has worked in a new field in a scientific spirit, and the professions are under a great obligation to him for the progress he has already made in this unexplored region of clinical research.—Medical Times and Gazette July 25th, 1868. No one has done in this country more than Dr. Mackenzie to elucidate the pathology and treatment of disease of the throat and air-passages so common in our climate. . . . The book is one which deserves the attention of the profession.—British Medical Journal, August ist, 1868. We welcome the appearance of this book as a valuable con- tribution to our knowledge of laryngeal disorders. ... A good collection of cases, some few of which are illustrated by wood engravings, adds to the practical value of the book, and no medical man will fail to cull useful information from its pages.—British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Reviejc, October, t868. The cases recorded are instructive, and are thoroughly illus- trative of the value of electricity in many forms of aphonia.— Practitioner, August, 1868.
