“This little work is an admirably condensed statement of the clearest authenticated facts on this subject known. The author is evidently a master in the art of clear, condensed statements of what is known, and he could do a great service to science by ‘boiling down’ some of the thousand-page volumes that are coming from the press. This work is of great value to all physicians who wish to have the facts concerning epilepsy in the most available form,”—Quarterly Journal of Inebriety.
“It is representative of the most advanced views of the profession, and the subject is pruned of the vast amount of superstition and nonsense that generally obtains in connection with epilepsy.”—Medical Age.
