“A number of exquisite and philosophical essays on the medical art in its broadest aspects, apparently pervaded by a realization of what the science of medicine might be and how far it falls short of its ideals.… These essays are delightful to read. They are wise and shrewd, instinct with a knowledge of human nature, with benevolence and with a humility that recognizes its own shortcomings rather than its own attainments.”—Argonaut.
“The book abounds in amiable prejudices stated with candour and argued with ingenuity. It is written in many moods, sentimental, practical, reflective, and pugnacious, and in a style that is brisk, sententious, always readable.”—The Bookman.

“After reading many half-baked books on psychotherapy and New Thought, it is refreshing to come upon ‘The Conquest of Nerves,’ by a man who knows his subject and speaks with authority backed by common sense, thinking clearly through a hazy theme and shedding truth with entertaining pungency.”—Boston Traveler.
“The book is simple, earnest, and practical.”—Christian Register.
“That nerves can be conquered and how they may be is the subject of the doctor’s most unusual and interesting volume, which should find a royal welcome from the many sufferers for whom it was written.”—Hartford Sunday Post.
