Abstract
DR. VICTOR HANKE, the writer of this little book, is principal assistant to Prof. Fuchs in Vienna, and the methods of this famous clinique are those which are here given to a wider public. It naturally follows that it is characterised throughout by a practical sanity which has been sadly lacking in some books on similar subjects which have recently been thought worthy of translation. The author has no spetial hobby-horse on which to ride to mental destruction. His treatment throughout is practical, scientific in the best sense of the word, what we may call for lack of a more fitting adjective, commpn-sensical. There is no rash advocacy of new and untried methods of treatment simply because of their novelty. Consequently, it is a book which can be thoroughly recommended to all practitioners of the 1 art of medicine. Reliance on it will not lead to disappointment, for the methods advocated are thoroughly modern and sound.
