Chapter LIV: Part II: Physiology of the Motor Apparatus; the Voice and Speech;

General Physiology of the Nerves: Electro-Physiology; the Brain;
Organs of Sight, Hearing, Smell, Taste, Touch; Physiology of
Development.

⁂ Since its first appearance in 1880, Prof. LANDOIS’ TEXT-BOOK OF PHYSIOLOGY has been translated into three Foreign languages, and passed through SEVEN LARGE EDITIONS.

The Fourth English Edition has again been thoroughly revised, and a new feature introduced--that of printing some of the Illustrations in Colours. The number of figures has also been largely increased, from 494 in the First, to 845 in the present Edition. In order to do full justice to the coloured illustrations, and to admit of more of the text being printed in large type, it has been found necessary to put the work once again in two volumes.

Opinions of the Press.

“So great are the advantages offered by Prof. LANDOIS’ TEXT-BOOK,
from the EXHAUSTIVE and EMINENTLY PRACTICAL manner in which the
subject is treated, that it has passed through FOUR large editions
in the same number of years. . . . Dr. STIRLING’s annotations have
materially added to the value of the work. Admirably adapted for the
PRACTITIONER. . . . With this Text-book at command, NO STUDENT COULD
FAIL IN HIS EXAMINATION.”--_The Lancet._

“One of the MOST PRACTICAL WORKS on Physiology ever written, forming
a ‘bridge’ between Physiology and Practical Medicine. . . . Its
chief merits are its completeness and conciseness. . . . The
additions by the Editor are able and judicious. EXCELLENTLY CLEAR,
ATTRACTIVE, AND SUCCINCT.”--_Brit. Med. Journal._

“The great subjects dealt with are treated in an admirably clear,
terse, and happily-illustrated manner. At every turn the doctrines
laid down are illuminated by reference to facts of Clinical Medicine
or Pathology.”--_Practitioner._

“We have no hesitation in saying that THIS IS THE WORK to which the
PRACTITIONER will turn whenever he desires light thrown upon, or
information as to how he can best investigate, the phenomena of a
COMPLICATED OR IMPORTANT CASE. To the STUDENT it will be EQUALLY
VALUABLE.”--_Edinburgh Medical Journal._

“LANDOIS AND STIRLING’S work cannot fail to establish itself as one
of the most useful and popular works known to English
readers.”--_Manchester Medical Chronicle._

“As a work of reference, LANDOIS and STIRLING’s Treatise OUGHT TO
TAKE THE FOREMOST PLACE among the text books in the English
language. The woodcuts are noticeable for their number and
beauty.”--_Glasgow Medical Journal._

“Unquestionably the most admirable exposition of the relations of
Human Physiology to Practical Medicine that has ever been laid
before English readers.”--_Students’ Journal._

CLINICAL MEDICINE.
A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK FOR PRACTITIONERS
AND STUDENTS.

BY JUDSON BURY, M.D., F.R.C.P.,

Senior Assist. Phys., Manchester Royal Infirmary.

“We may say at once that Dr. Judson Bury has SUCCEEDED WELL. His
book is planned upon RATIONAL LINES, . . . intended for PRACTICAL
SERVICE. . . . His work will take a PROMINENT PLACE amongst books of
its class, and is one, too, to which the clinical student can TRUST,
as being reliable. . . . The illustrations are numerous and
TELLING.”--_The Lancet._

“This Manual is sure AT ONCE to take a FOREMOST PLACE as a guide in
clinical work. . . . Seeks to utilise at the bedside the most recent
researches of the Physiologist, the Chemist, and the Bacteriologist.
. . . Belongs to the same series of Manuals which has given us the
issue of LANDOIS’ ‘Physiology,’ wherein Prof. STIRLING sought to
bring the most advanced Physiology into relationship with clinical
work; and the very valuable treatise of V. JAKSCH on ‘Clinical
Diagnosis.”--_British Medical Journal._

“This is the latest of the splendid Series of Text-books which
Messrs. Charles Griffin & Company have been the means of placing in
the hands of the profession. The volume will maintain the reputation
of its predecessors, and we HEARTILY CONGRATULATE Dr. Judson Bury on
the EXCELLENCE of his book and the STERLING CONTRIBUTION to medical
literature which, in its publication, he has made.”--_Dublin Medical
Journal._

Bartholomew’s Hospital.

_In Large 8vo. With Chromo-Lithograph, Folding Plate, and Illustrations in the Text. Handsome Cloth, 25s._

⁂ This work is the result of the special opportunities which London Practice affords as, probably, the largest field of observation for the study of Gout. It is based on the experience derived from both Hospital and Private Practice, each of which furnishes distinctive phases of the disease.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“Thoroughly practical and highly philosophical. The practitioner
will find in its pages an ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF INFORMATION. . . . A
monument of clinical observation, of extensive reading, and of close
and careful reasoning.”--_Practitioner._

⁂ The author’s aim is to give a consistent picture of Rheumatism as a systemic disease presenting one definite set of phenomena, the result, it is believed, of one single and specific morbid process.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“The wide subject of the etiology of rheumatism is _carefully
treated_. . . . The discussion of etiology is completed by a _full
analysis_ of the conditions which determine individual attacks.

DISEASES OF THE SKIN
(A TREATISE ON),

With Special Reference to Diagnosis and Treatment, Including
an Analysis of 12,000 Consecutive Cases.

By T. M’CALL ANDERSON, M.D.,

_Professor of Clinical Medicine, University if Glasgow._

PROFESSOR M’CALL ANDERSON’s Treatise, affording, as it does, a complete _résumé_ of the best modern practice, is written--not from the standpoint of the University Professor--but from that of one who, during upwards of a quarter of a century, has been actively engaged both in private and in hospital practice, with unusual opportunities for studying this class of disease, hence the PRACTICAL and CLINICAL directions given are of great value.

Speaking of the practical aspects of Dr. ANDERSON’s work, the _British Medical Journal_ says:--“Skin diseases are, as is well known, obstinate and troublesome, and the knowledge that there are ADDITIONAL RESOURCES besides those in ordinary use will give confidence to many a puzzled medical man, and enable him to encourage a doubting patient. ALMOST ANY PAGE MIGHT BE USED TO ILLUSTRATE THE FULNESS OF THE WORK IN THIS RESPECT. . . . The chapter on Eczema, that universal and most troublesome ailment, describes in a comprehensive spirit, and with the greatest accuracy of detail, the various methods of treatment. Dr. Anderson writes with the authority of a man who has tried the remedies which he discusses, and the information and advice which he gives cannot fail to prove extremely valuable.”

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“Professor M’Call Anderson has produced a work likely to prove VERY
ACCEPTABLE to the busy practitioner. The sections on treatment are
very full. For example, ECZEMA has 110 pages given to it, and 73 of
these pages are devoted to treatment.”--_Lancet._

“Beyond doubt, the MOST IMPORTANT WORK on Skin Diseases that has
appeared in England for many years. . . . Conspicuous for the AMOUNT
AND EXCELLENCE of the CLINICAL AND PRACTICAL information which it
contains.”--_British Medical Journal._

“The work may be regarded as a storehouse of FACTS gathered and
sifted by one whose opinion is entitled to the highest respect, and
we have no hesitation in stating our belief that it has NO EQUAL in
this country.”--_Edinburgh Medical Journal._

“ESSENTIALLY a useful book, clear and graphic in description,
dogmatic and hopeful on questions of treatment.”--_Birmingham
Medical Review._

DISEASES OF THE EYE
(A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON),

BY EDOUARD MEYER,

_Prof. à l’École Pratique de la Faculté de Médecine de Paris,
Chev. of the Leg. of Honour, &c._

Translated from the Third French Edition, with Additions as contained in the Fourth German Edition,

By F. FERGUS, M.B., Ophthalmic Surgeon, Glasgow Infirmary.

The particular features that will most commend Dr. Meyer’s work to English readers are--its CONCISENESS, its HELPFULNESS in explanation, and the PRACTICALITY of its directions. The best proof of its worth may, perhaps, be seen in the fact that it has now gone through _three_ French and _four_ German editions, and has been translated into most European languages--Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Polish--and even into Japanese.

Opinions of the Press.

“A GOOD TRANSLATION OF A GOOD BOOK. . . . A SOUND GUIDE in the
diagnosis and treatment of the various diseases of the eye that are
likely to fall under the notice of the general Practitioner. The
Paper, Type, and Chromo-Lithographs are all that could be desired.
. . . We know of no work in which the DISEASES and DEFORMITIES of
the LIDS are more fully treated. Numerous figures illustrate almost
every defect remediable by operation.”--_Practitioner._

“A VERY TRUSTWORTHY GUIDE in all respects. . . . THOROUGHLY
PRACTICAL. Excellently translated, and very well got up. Type,
Woodcuts, and Chromo-Lithographs are alike excellent.”--_Lancet._

“Any Student will find this work of GREAT VALUE. . . . The chapter
on Cataract is excellent. . . . The Illustrations describing the
various plastic operations are specially helpful.”--_Brit. Med.
Journal._

“An EXCELLENT TRANSLATION of a standard French Text-Book. . . . We
can cordially recommend Dr. Meyer’s work. It is essentially a
PRACTICAL WORK. The Publishers have done their part in the TASTEFUL
and SUBSTANTIAL MANNER CHARACTERISTIC OF THEIR MEDICAL PUBLICATIONS.
The Type and the Illustrations are in marked contrast to most
medical works.”--_Ophthalmic Review._ #/

_In Large 8vo, with Eighteen Lithographic Plates and Illustrations in the Text. Handsome Cloth, 28s._

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“Will take the HIGHEST RANK as a Text-Book of Mental
Diseases.”--_British Medical Journal._

“Without doubt the BEST BOOK in English of its kind. . . . The
chapter on Epileptic Insanity and that on the Pathology of Insanity
are perfect, and show a power of work and originality of thought
which are admirable.”--_Journal of Mental Science._

“The work, all through, is the outcome of original observation and
research.”--_Mind._

“A SPLENDID ADDITION to the literature of mental diseases. . . . The
anatomical and histological section is ADMIRABLY DONE. . . . The
clinical section is concise and tersely written. It is, however, to
the pathological section that the work owes its chief merit. As a
STANDARD WORK on the pathology of mental diseases this work should
occupy a prominent place in the library of every alienist
physician.”--_Dublin Medical Journal._

“Affords a fulness of information which it would be difficult to
find in any other treatise in the English language.”--_Edin. Medical
Journal._

“We record our conviction that the book is the best and most
complete treatise upon the pathological aspect of the subject with
which we are familiar. . . . An ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSABLE addition to
every alienist’s and neurologist’s library.”--_The Alienist and
Neurologist._

“It would be quite impossible to say too much in praise of the
ILLUSTRATIONS.”--_American Journal of Insanity._

literature.”--_Bulletin de la Soc. Méd. Mentale de Belgique._

Master of Downing College, Cambridge.

_With all the Original Illustrations. Large 8vo, Handsome Cloth, 25s._

⁂ The Publishers have the pleasure to announce that to the English version of this important Treatise, numerous original ADDITIONS and a GLOSSARY of the subject have been contributed by the EDITOR, whose admirable work in this department of research is so well known. These Additions greatly increase the value of the book to students.

Special attention is also directed to the ILLUSTRATIONS. Many of these are on a plan peculiarly helpful to the student--the one-half being in outline, the other filled in.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“Dr. Hill has enriched the work with many notes of his own. . . .
Dr. Hill’s translation is most accurate, the English is excellent,
and the book is very readable. . . . Dr. Obersteiner’s work is
admirable. He has a marvellous power of marshalling together a large
number of facts, all bearing on an extremely intricate subject, into
a harmonious, clear, consecutive whole. . . . INVALUABLE as a
text-book.”--_British Medical Journal._

“A MOST VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION to the Study of the Anatomy and
Pathology of the Nervous System. We cannot speak too highly of the
ability and skill which Prof. Obersteiner has brought to bear on
this most difficult subject, and of the way in which the whole work
is illustrated.”--_Brain._

“The FULLEST and MOST ACCURATE EXPOSITION now attainable of the
results of anatomical inquiry. The Translation is done by one who is
himself a Master of Anatomy, able not only to follow his author, but
also to supplement him with the results of independent research. Dr.
Hill’s additions add materially to the value of the original. The
work is specially commended to all students of mental science. . . .
The illustrative figures are of particular excellence and admirably
instructive.”--_Mind._
