    names frequently appearing among the French contributors are those of Froment, Clovis Vincent, Roussy and Lhermitte, Léri, Guillain, Souques, Laignel-Lavastine, Courbon, Grasset, Claude, Barre, Benisty, Foix, Chavigny, Charpentier, Meige, Thomas, and Sollier. For a work of this character not only as complete a bibliog- raphy as possible, but a thorough index is absolutely necessary, and this has been supplied. The author has not made the index too full, but with enough cross-references to enable those in all lines of medical work interested to cull out the cases and com- ments which most concern them. My prologue finished, I step aside for the play and the player, with the recommendation to the reader that he give close heed to the performance — to the recital of the cases, the comments thereon, and the general discussion of subjects — knowing that such attention will be fully rewarded, for in this wonderful col- lection of Dr. Southard is to be seen an epitome of war neurology not elsewhere to be found.
