DAVIS, Medical Publisher, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S.A.) 5 AN IMPORTANT PUBLICATION OF GREAT VALUE TO THE MEDICAL AND LEGAL PROFESSIONS. SPINAL CONCUSSION: Surgically Considered as a Cause of Spinal Injury, and Neurologically Restricted to a Certain Symptom Group, for which is Suggested the Designation ERICHSEN'S DISEASE, AS ONE FORM OF THE TRAUMATIC NEUROSES. BY S. V. CLEVENGER, M.D., CONSULTING PHYSICIAN REESE AND ALEXIAN HOSPITALS; LATE PATHOLOGIST COUNTY INSANE ASYLUM, For more than twenty years this subject has occasioned bitter contention in law courts, between physicians as well as attorneys, and in that time no work has appeared that reviewed the entire field judicially until Dr. Clevenger's book was written. It is the outcome of five years' special study and experience in legal circles, clinics, hospital and private practice, in addition to twenty years' labor as a scientific student, writer, and teacher. The literature of Spinal Concussion has been increasing of late years to an unwieldy shape for the general student, and Dr. Clevenger has in this work arranged and reviewed all that has been done by observers since the days of Erichsen and those who preceded him. The different and sometimes antagonistic views of many authors are fully given from the writings of Erichsen, Page, Oppenheim, Erb, Westphal, Abercrombie, Sir Astley Cooper, Boyer, Charcot, Leyden, Rigler, Spitzka, Putnam, Knapp, Dana, and many other European and American students of the subject. The small, but important, work of Oppenheim, of the Berlin University, is fully translated, and constitutes a chapter of Dr. Clevenger's book, and reference is made wherever discussions occurred in American medico-legal societies. There are abundant illustrations, particularly for Electro-diagnosis, and to enable a clear comprehension of the anatomical and pathological relations. The Chapters are: I. Historical Introduction; II. Erichsen on Spinal Concussion; III. Page on Injuries of the Spine and Spinal Cord; IV. Recent Discussions of Spinal Concussion: V. Oppenheim on Traumatic Neuroses; VI. Illustrative Cases from Original and all other Sources; VII. Traumatic Insanity; VIII. The Spinal Column; IX. Symptoms; X. Diagnosis; XI. Pathology: XII. Treatment; XIII. Medico-legal Considerations. Other special features consist in a description of modern methods of diagnosis by Electricity, a discussion of the controversy concerning hysteria, and the author's original pathological view that the lesion is one involving the spinal sympathetic nervous system. In this latter respect entirely new ground is taken, and the diversity of opinion concerning the functional and organic nature of the disease is afforded a basis for reconciliation. Every Physician and Lawyer should own this work. In one handsome Royal Octavo Volume of nearly 400 pages, with Thirty Wood-Engravings.

JUST READY-A NEW AND IMPORTANT WORK. ESSAY -ON MEDICAL PNEUMATOLOGY AEROTHERAPY: A PRACTICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE CLINICAL AND THERAPEUTIC VALUE OXYGEN, NITROGEN, HYDROGEN, AND NITROGEN MONOXIDE. Surgeon to the Municipal Hospital, Paris, and of the Council of State; Member of the Imperial Society Catholic and of the Conception, of Portugal, etc. TRANSLATED, WITH NOTES, ADDITIONS, AND OMISSIONS, BY SAMUEL S. WALLIAN, A.M., M.D., Member of the American Medical Association; Ex-President of the Medical Association of Northern New York; Member of the New York County Medical Society, etc. In one Handsome Octavo Volume of 316 Pages, Printed on Fine Paper, in the Best Style of the Printer's Art, and Illustrated with 21 Wood-Cuts. For some years past there has been a growing demand for something more satisfactory and more practical in the way of literature on the subject of what has, by common consent, come to be termed "Oxygen Therapeutics." On all sides professional men of standing and ability are turning their attention to the use of the gaseous elements about us as remedies in disease, as well as sustainers in health. In prosecuting their inquiries, the first hindrance has been the want of any reliable, or in any degree satisfactory, literature on the subject. Purged of the much quackery heretofore associated with it, Aerotherapy is now recognized as a legitimate department of medical practice. Although little noise is made about it, the use of Oxygen Gas as a remedy has increased in this country within a few years to such an extent that in New York City alone the consumption for medical purposes now amounts to more than 300,000 gallons per annum. This work, translated in the main from the French of Professor Demarquay, contains also a very full account of recent English, German, and American experiences, prepared by Dr. Samuel S. Wallian, of New York, whose experience in this field antedates that of any other American writer on the subject. Plain Talks on Avoided Subjects. -BY HENRY N. GUERNSEY, M.D., Formerly Professor of Materia Medica and Institutes in the Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia; IN ONE NEAT 16mo VOLUME. BOUND IN EXTRA CLOTH. Price, Post-paid, in United States and Canada, $1.00; Great Britain, 4s. 6d.; France, 6 fr. 20. This is a little volume designed to convey information upon one of the most important subjects connected with our physical and spiritual well-being, and is adapted to both sexes and all ages and conditions of society; in fact, so broad is its scope that no human being can well afford to be without it, and so comprehensive in its teachings that, no matter how well informed one may be, something can yet be learned from this, and yet it is so plain that any one who can read at all can fully understand its meaning. The Author, Dr. H. N. Guernsey, has had an unusually long and extensive practice, and his teachings in this volume are the results of his observation and actual experience with all conditions of human life. His work is warmly indorsed by many leading men in all branches of professional life, as well as by many whose business connections have caused them to be close observers. The following Table of Contents shows the scope of the book: CONTENTS. CHAPTER I.-INTRODUCTORY. II.—THE INFANT. III-CHILDHOOD. IV.-ADOLE CENCE OF THE MALE. V. ADOLESCENCE OF THE FEMALE. VI.-MARRIAGE: THE HUSBAND. VILTHE WIFE. VIII-HUSBAND AND WIFE. IX.-TO THE UNFORTUNATE. X.-ORIGIN OF THE SEX. (F. A. DAVIS, Medical Publisher, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S.A.) 7 NEW EDITIONS Lessons in Gynecology. By WILLIAM GOODELL, A.M., M.D., Etc., With 112 Illustrations. This exceedingly valuable work, from one of the most eminent specialists and teachers in gynecology in the United States, is now offered to the profession in a much more complete condition than either of the previous editions. It embraces all the more important diseases and the principal operations in the field of gynecology, and brings to bear upon them all the extensive practical experience and wide reading of the author. It is an indispensable guide to every practitioner who has to do with the diseases peculiar to NATURAL POSITION OF THE WOMB WHEN THE BLADDER IS FULL These lessons are so well known that it is entirely unnecessary to do more than to call attention to the fact of the appearance of the third edition. It is too good a book to have been allowed to remain out of print, and it has unquestionably been missed. The author has revised the work with special care, adding to each lesson such fresh matter as the progress in the art rendered necessary, and he has enlarged it by the insertion of six new lessons. This edition will, without question, be as eagerly sought for as were its predecessors.-American Journal of Obstetrics. The former editions of this treatise were well received by the profession, and there is no doubt that the new matter added to the present issue makes it more useful than its predecessors.-New York Medical Record. His literary style is peculiarly charming. There is a directness and simplicity about it which is easier to admire than to copy. His chain of plain words and almost blunt expressions, his familiar comparison and homely illustrations, make his writings, like his lectures, unusually entertaining. The substance of his teachings we regard as equally excellent Phila. Medical and Surgical Reporter. Extended mention of the contents of the book is unnecessary: suffice it to say that every important disease found in the female sex is taken up and discussed in a common-sense kind of a way. We wish every physician in America could read and carry out the suggestions of the chapter on "the sexual relations as causes of uterine disorders-conjugal onanism and kindred sins." The department treating of nervous counterfeits of uterine diseases is a most valuable one.- Kansas City Medical Index. Price, in United States and Canada, Cloth, $5.00; Full Sheep, $6.00.
