Second Edition, with an Introduction and Numerous Notes, BY THE AMERICAN EDITOR. 1 vol. 8vo. sheep. ‘‘ Altogether thisis one of the most useful of the publicationsthat have recently issued from the press,—one that should be studied by every man who presumes to treat the class of diseases on which it is written. It is delightful, indeed, to contemplate the sound pathology and rational therapeutics which it inculeates ;—so diiferent from the swelling egotism, the groundless assertions, the illogical conclusions, and often — empirical treatment, recommended in some of the modern works on these and other important medical subjects.”—Med. Examiner. ti ‘‘ The present edition has been much enriched both by the author and editor. No inconsiderable part of the book is made up of Dr. Bell’s notes, and it now constitutes one of our most useful treatises on the diseases of the chest, characterized by sound pathology and rational therapeutics.”—New York Journal of Medicine. ** So well-known are the writings of Dr. Stokes, that no effort of the medical press in this country is necessary to increase their circulation.
