“ The Maryland Medical Journal: "The inside history of great persons is always a matter of interest, and in these days, when the history of medicine is attracting so much attention, it is extremely instructive to note how the illness or indiscretion of crowned heads has affected so materially the history of the world. The therapeutics of the persons treated in this book are extremely crude, but the surgical procedures are in places very praiseworthy.
"The gonorrhea of Louis XIV. is well desciibed by his physicians with great accuracy, but the treatment was not very effective. ”

“ Very amusing is the account of the maladies of Louis XV., and, as the translator points out, the Well-Beloved must have had a wonderful constitution to have withstood all the remedies the tobacco pills, the two glasses of manna, and the 'spirits of crayfish' a doxen physicians poured into him from time to time. The horrors, too, of the deathbed scene in the CEil de Bceuf as painted by a doctor, surpass even Carlyk-'s lurid picture. Indeed all the essays in this little volume are of interest, full of quaint learning and deep research. ”

“ Cabanes has opened the secret cabinet and disclosed its interesting contents. The book is prefaced by a letter from M. Sardou, in which he courteously declines to write a preface.
u History, says Macaulay, is made up of the bad actions of extraordinary men .... Nine-tenths of the calamities which have befallen the human race had no other origin than the union of high intelligence with low desires. The Secret Cabinet of History is made up of descriptions of the extraordinary actions of great men and women. ”

“ Medicine (HAROLD N. MOVER, M.D., Editor, DETROIT, Mich., U.S.A.) : tt Patho- logy in history is always of interest, especially since by affecting the leaders or rulers of a nation it tends to affect the nation a as whole. This volume contains thirteen separate essays on subjects involved in historical pathology. The first one relates to a youthful indiscretion of Louis XIV. whereby, as Dr. Cabanes proves, Louis XIV. very early contracted gonorrhea. ”
