FOURTH EDITION OF

- -
R. STEVENSON'S POPULAR WORK
on CATARACT, price 3s. in cloth boards.
This Edition—besides the fullest information on other points
eonnected with this disease—contains a familiar description of its
extirpation, at any stage or period of life, by an operation devised
and matured by the Author, sanctioned by the first medical autho-
rities, and adopted at the " Royal Infirmary for Cataract," and in
his private practice to the greatest extent and with the most signal
success, the performance of which gives little or no pain, occupies
only about a minute, and restores sight to the highest attainable
perfection, without leaving any mark or disfigurement in the af-
fected organ.
" Not only as an Oculist, but as an Aurist also, Mr. Stevenson
is one of the most distinguished men of his day, and by this pub-
lication has earned for himself a high professional reputation. '—
Glasgow Courier.
Mr. Stevenson's extensive practice in Diseases of the Eye, is

taract."—Conservative Journal.
" Mr. Stevenson's novel, scientific, and eminently successful
method of removing Cataract, will become universal."—Metropo-
litan Magazine:
