STARR ON NERVOUS DISEASES.-Organic and Functional Nervous Diseases. By M. Allen Starr, M. D., Ph. D., LL. D., Professor of Neurology in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York; ex-President of the American Neurological Association and of the New York Neurological Society. Second edition, thoroughly revised. Octavo, 824 pages, with 282 engravings and 26 full-page plates. Cloth, $6, net; leather, $7, net. Lea Bros. & Co., Philadelphia and New York, 1907. The author's position in the forefront of neurologists has been shown anew in the rapid exhaustion of the first edition of his work, limited though it was to organic nervous disease. An even warmer reception is assured for this revision, which brings the organic portion to date and adds a section covering the functional diseases, so that the volume now presents the whole field of neurology as understood and practised by a master. The author is the reverse of abstruse or nihilistic. On the contrary, he is straightforward and direct, and justifies his optimism as to the advanced position of neurological diagnosis and treatment by the wealth of information placed at command of his readers. Paying due regard to theory, he devotes especially full attention to etiology, diagnosis and treatment, both medical and surgical. The book is largely based on the solid foundation of long experience, but it also embodies the wellattested knowledge of other authorities as gleaned from a thorough sifting of the vast literature of neurology. Practical, authoritative, covering the whole subject in all its aspects, and abundantly illustrated, this new edition of Prof. Starr's work answers the needs of students, practitioners and specialists.
