SOELBERG WELLS, Ophthalmic Surgeon to, and Lecturer on Ophthalmic Surgery at, the Middlesex Hospital. "We recommend the perusal of this book as the best and most concise work on the subject in our language."-Med.-Chir. Review.

JOHN CHURCHILL and SONS, New Burlington Street. TRÜBNER & CO.'S MEDICAL PUBLICATIONS. THE EPIDEMICS OF THE MIDDLE AGES. By J. F. C. HECKER, M.D. Translated by G. B. BABINGTON, M.D., F.R.S. Third Edition, completed by the Author's Treatise on CHILD-PILGRIMAGES. 8vo, pp. 384, price 9s. CONTENTS:-The Black Death-The Dancing Mania-The Sweating SicknessChild-Pilgrimages. This volume is one of the series published by the Sydenham Society, and, as such, originally issued to its members only. The work having gone out of print, this new edition-the third-has been undertaken by the present proprietors of the copyright, with the view not only of meeting the numerous demands from the class to which it was primarily addressed by its learned author, but also for extending its circulation to the general reader, to whom it had, heretofore, been all but inaccessible, owing to the peculiar mode of its publication, and to whom it is believed it will be very acceptable, on account of the great and growing interest of its subject-matter, and the elegant and successful treatment thereof. The volume is a verbatim reprint from the second edition; but its value has been enhanced by the addition of a paper on "Child-Pilgrimages," never before translated; and the present edition is therefore the first and only one in the English language which contains all the contributions of Dr. Hecker to the history of medicine. A TREATISE ON MEDICAL ELECTRICITY, Theoretical and Practical; and its use in the Treatment of Paralysis, Neuralgia, and other Diseases. By JULIUS ALTHAUS, M.D. 8vo, cloth, price 7s. 6d. "This is far the best treatise we have seen on the medical applications of electricity." -Athenæum. "Dr. Althaus has supplied to the English Profession by far the most elaborate and useful book on the subject upon which it treats, extant in our mother tongue. The book will command general reference. We expect to see it for some time to come the standard English work on Medical Electricity."-Medical Times and Gazette. There existed a hiatus in British medical literature on the subject which the present work most worthily fills up. Dr. Althaus's Treatise is complete, accurate, and scientific. The book is written in a clear and even elegant style. Dr. Althaus does not address us with the enthusiasm of a specialist, but with the honest conviction of a man of science." -British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review. "The entire work is one that, in these days of book-making, it is refreshing to meet with; it is evidently the production of a philosopher, and we are but discharging our duty to our readers in most strongly recommending it to their notice."- Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science. "A very complete and able work, exhibiting the state of science in its most advanced stages, and giving a clear account both of its general and medical history. Dr. Althaus shows a perfect knowledge of every department of his subject, and we can recommend his book with pleasure."-Medical Circular. CASES OF NERVOUS AFFECTIONS TREATED BY FARADISATION. By JULIUS ALTHAUS, M.D. 8vo, sewed, price 1s. "In this pamphlet the author has collected a series of fourteen cases of different nervous affections all treated by Faradisation, with the object of showing the beneficial effects of that form of treatment. His success appears to have been most marked, and such as leads to hope that this valuable agent will be more generally resorted to than it has hitherto been. We have had the pleasure of witnessing some of Dr. Althaus's practice, and have been led to estimate very highly the system he pursues. There can be no doubt that Faradisation would ere this have been much more generally resorted to, had proper attention been given to the subject."-London Medical Review.
