Coll. of Phila., etc. A Practical Treatise on the Applications of Electricity to Medicine and Surgery. Second edition. In one very luindsome octavo volume of 292 pages, with 109 illustrations. Clotli, |2.50. Just ready. FROM THE PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. In tlie present edition I liave made many additions and improvements to render tlie work more useful to those for wiiom it is intended. At tlie same time, in re.sponse to what seems to me an increasing desire for scientific treatment, I have developed more fully the modern methods of ascertaining and expressing current strengtli, tension, resistance, etc. I have also entered more fully into tlie polar method, and into the action and uses of the magnet. Notwithstanding an increase in the number of lines to the page, and the con- densation of the matter new and old, tlie work has been enlarged by the addition of thirty pages. Thus improved, I may be permitted to hope that the new editicm will continue to enjoy the favor so largely bestowecl on the first. The second edition of tliis work following so soon upon the first would in itself appear to he a sutHcient announcement; nevertheless, the te.xt ■ has been so considerably revised and (M)ndonsed, and so much enlarged by the addition of new mat- tei', that we cannot fail to recognize a vast improve- ment upon tlie former work. Tlie author has pre- pared his work for students and practitioners—for those who have never acquainted themselves witli the subject, or, liaving done so, find tliat after a time their knowledge needs refreshing. We think he has accomplished tiiis object. The book is not too voluminous, but is thoroughly practical, sim- ple, complete and comprehensible. It is, more- over, replete with numerous illustrations of instru- ments, appliances, etc, is printed on fine paper, and handsomely bound in t:\oth.—Medical liecord, Nov. 15, 18S2. Ft is, fortunately, not such an interminable trea- tise as most electro-therapeutists like to write. It is not burdened with a needlessly learned termin- ology, and is written more from the point of view of the physician than of the specialist. The second edition has been considerably increased over the first, and has been brought up to the most recent advances of the science. It can in every way be recommended to those who wish to read a lucid, manageable monograph on this form of therapeu- tics.—.!/«/. and Siir;/. Reporter, Nov. 4, 188-i. .\ most excellent work, addressed by a practi- tioner to his fellow-practitioners, and therefore thoroughly practical. The work now before us has the exceptional merit of clearly pointing out where the benefits to be derived from electricity must come. It contains all and everything that the practitioner needs in order to understand in- telligently the nature and laws of the agent he is making use of, and for its proper application in practice. In a condensed, practical form, it pre- sents to the physician all tliat he would wish to rememberafterperusinga whole library on medical electricity, including the results of the latest in- vestigations. It is the book for the practitioner, and the necessity for a second edition proves that it has been appreciated by the profession.—P/jj/iii- cian and Suri/eon, Dec. 188'Z. It is very evident that Dr. Bartholow was correct in his view that the profession desired a small, plain and complete work on the practical use of electricity. It is only about a year since the first edition of his book appeare.l. In preparing the second edition he has enlarged the book some- what, and has aiJded some new matter, but not much. In truth, the work was so complete for its purpose as it first appeared that no considei-able alterations or additions would be possible. Every physician who owns a battery should possess and study this book.—C'6i<(m6us Medical Journal, Jan. 188.3. The first edition of this work having been e.'C'' hausted in less than a year, shows the great value in which it has been held by the profession. Only a work of unusually great merit could have met with such a rapid sale. It has been found to fill a want, notwithstanding having numerous competi- tors. It was the purpose of the author to prepare a work from the practitioner's rather than the merely scientific standpoint, and this he has cer- tainly accomplished. — Cincinnati Medical News, Nov. 188-2. This work seems to be written for physicians and is easilyintelligible to every practitioner. It is concisely written, and the author's diction is simple and always comprehensible. The edition is larger than the first, and well represents the science of medical electricity at the present time. Every physician must use electricity in his prac- tice, and in doing so he can have no better guide and companion than this volume.—Gaillard's Med. ■Tourn., Nov. 1882. BICHABBSON, B.
