Excerpt from The British and Foreign Medical Review, or Quarterly Journal of Practical Medicine and Surgery: October, 1846 As respects treatment, Dr. Walshe recommends the trial of gentle com pression. The lamentable results of surgical interference are strikingly shown in a table at p. 520. Here we must pause. Our notice has extended to a much greater length than we had anticipated, and yet we feel that we have done our author but scant justice; and now we leave altogether untouched the very interesting and valuable information which he has collected regarding the cancerous affections of the spinal column and its contents, the nerves, skin, bones, and subcutaneous cellular tissue. To these, as well as all other portions of the volume, we again earnestly direct the attention of our readers; being confident that no where will they find a safer guide, or a more intelligent teacher than Dr. Walshe.
