Electro-physiology and electro-therapeutics : showing the best methods for the medical uses of electricity / By Alfred C. Garratt.

OPINIONS OF THE WORK. Prom JOHN HOMATJS, M. D. 129 Tremont Street, Boston, Nov. 6, 1859. Dr. Garratt. Dear Sir : I am happy to learn your intention to publish a treatise on Electro-Therapeutics, or the medical and surgical uses of Electricity. Such a work, by an educated physician who has bestowed much time and labor on the eubject, both in 6tudy and practice, setting forth the value of this often neglected and sometimes misapplied agent in the treatment of a large claBS of diseases, will supply a want long felt by intelligent medical men, and cannot fail to be well received. The division of the subject into the different chapters, as indicated by you, appears Judicious. I am very truly yours, JOHN HOMANS. Prom WALTER CHAJXTNTETG, M. D. " This large octavo volume is illustrated abundantly by descriptions, and drawings of Instruments, both original and selected; by anatomical sketches, and by cases in which electricity has been employed, together with the limitation of its uses. What has particu- larly Btruck and pleased us in our examination of Dr. G.'s work, is the patient minuteness which every where marks his treatment of his subject. Nothing seems to have been over- looked. It is a very valuable work." Prom EDWARD H. CLARKE, M. D., Professor of Harvard University. Boston, June 5, 1800. Alfred C. Garratt, M. D. Dear Sir: It gives me great pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of your work on Electro-Physiology and Electro-Therapeutics. I shall read it at my earliest leisure, and hope to derive equal pleasure and profit from its perusal. The subject of the Medical Uses of Electricity is one of great importance, and but little understood. I hope your labors may be the means, not only of enlightening medical men with regard to it, but of awakening the attention of other observers. Please accept my best thanks for your book, and may you long be enabled to pursue the path you have entered on Very truly yours, EDWARD H. CLARKE. Prom J. V. C. SMITH, M. D. Boston, June 15, 1860. Dear Sir : Your industry and profound attainments in the domain of that special branch of the medical profession to which your powers have been directed, as exhibited in the beautiful volume presented to me, must result most favorably for your scientific and literary reputation. It is a monument which your descendants, in after times, will contemplate with proud satisfaction. v Very truly, I have the honor to be your obliged friend and servant, A. C. Garratt, M. D. . J- v- c- SMITH. Prom the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. " This volume, dedicated to our friend John Etonians, M. D., President of the Massachu- setts Medical Society, is a very full and elaborate contribution to the medicinal powers and uses of Electricity. Dr. Garratt has sought, in the best authorities at home and abroad, and in their original sources, the whole literary history of this important subieot, and has
