History of Medical Practice

THESE three handsome volumes testify to the energy and vitality of the Liverpool school. After a preliminary account of the laboratories founded by the munificence of the Rev. Thompson-Yates, vol. i. is devoted to neurology, and contains papers and reprints by Profs. Sherrington and Boyce, and Drs. Warrington, Laslett and Grünbaum, of which the one by the first-named author, upon the peripheral distribution of some spinal nerves, forms the pièce de resistance, occupying more than half the book. There are also interesting papers upon the changes found in lead paralysis and upon the muscle-spindles in pseudo-hypertrophic paralysis. In the latter, Griinbaum considers that his observations support the theory that this disease is a primary one of the muscles.
