Spinal Concussion

■<;<M' review.s.many an American practi ioner, who in his pilgrimage to Vienna was privileged to listen to the eloquent discourses of the late Prof. Ultzmann, but will also, as we feel assured, meet with a grateful reception by those not thus favored.Well versed in all branches of medicine, the author possessed the rare ability of interweaving clinical experiences with teachings gained from the study of microscopy, physiology, and pathology into a harmonious unity.Like other literary productions of Ultz¬ mann, the present work, which consists of a compilation of the two monographs, "Ueber die Neuropathien des mannlichen Geschlechtsapparates'' and "Ueber Potentia generandi und Potentia coeundi," is eminently practical, yet scientific, and its style very fasci¬ nating.The chapter on Impotence and Sterility is especially well written, and, as the author's name alone would be a guarantee, is free from all charlatanism, which, unfortunately, cannot be claimed for some recent publications by otherwise reputable authors.The translation is excellent.We can conscientiously recommend the volume to every student and practitioner in search of knowledge on the topics therein contained.A.
