We expect much from this writer. He evidently possesses, in
no common degree, the materials of success—a fresh and stirring
fancy. His story is one that never flags."—Quarterly Review,
June, 1834.

MR. STEVENSON ON CATARACT; with many additional
cases, illustrative of the efficacy of his System. Second Edi
tion, revised and enlarged.
Just published, in 12m0., price 35., neatly bound in cloth boards,
CATARACT; a Familiar Description of its
Nature, Symptoms, and ordinary Modes of Treatment, par-
ticularly wish reference to the Operation performed by the Author
at the " Royal Infirmary for Cataract," and with nearly unfailing
success.

By JOHN STEVENSON, Esq.,
Memlkr of the Royal College of Surgeons ; Oculist to his Ma-
jesty ; Oculist and Aurist to his Majesty Leopold the Firit, King
of the Belgians; Author of several Treatises, and Lecturer on
the Structure and Diseases of the Eye and Ear.
" Mr. Stevenson has had the sagacity to detect, and the courage
to expose, existing errors. He has proved that the practice of
Withholding the means of relief until the cataract is ripe, keeping
the sufferer for years deprived of sight, is not only absurd but dan-
gerous ; and that the usual operations of couching and extraction
are not only highly objectionable, but may be dispensed with, and
the patient relieved by his mild and efficacious operation at the very
commencement of the disease—New Monthly Magazine.
. .

" This small but truly valuable publication, affords satisfactory
proofs that cataract is at length stripped of its terrors, and placed
under complete controul by the simplified and eminently-successful
treatment devised and matured by the genius and industry of Mr.
Stavenson."—Monthly Magazine.
" The operation gives the patient scarcely any pain, requires
neither condivinent nor applications, and leaves no mark or disfi-
gurement in the affgeted organ."—Court Magazine.
