Arrangements are being made for volumes upon the “Eye.” “Nose and Throat,” “ Gynaecology, ” “ Medical Microscopy,” “Physiology,” etc., to follow the above, at intervals, in the “ Physicians’ and Students’ Readv-Reference Series.” The Physicians’ and Students’ Ready-Reference Series Includes publications of great value to students during their attendance at college, and to the busy physician in his daily practice. While they in no way attempt to supplant the various Text-Books, it cannot be doubted that they are necessary to the often overworked student when examination time is approaching, previous to which, for weeks, but little time can be gained from the lectures in which to make careful and thorough preparation for the examination-room. Complete synopses of the several important branches, and valuable monographs on various important subjects, are furnished in the publications of this series in such form and arrangement by competent writers as to render them of special practical value to the busy student and also to the physician in active practice. The volumes are neat- and con- venient in size and shape, and appropriately illustrated with many fine wood-engravings. See Pages 3, 20, 21, and 27 for those now published, and the upper part of this page for those in preparation. 2 ( F. A. DAVIS, Medical Publisher, Philadelphia. Pa., U.S.A.) JUST PUBLISHED— A NEW AND VALUABLE WORK ON Practical Electricity —IN— MEDICINE AND SURGERY. —BY- G. A. LIEBIG, Jr., Ph.D., Assistant in Electricity, Johns Hopkins University; Lecturer on Medical Electricity, College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons, Baltimore; Member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, etc., —AND— GEORGE H. ROHE, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Hygiene, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Baltimore ; Visiting Physician to Bay View and City Hospitals; Director of the Maryland Maternite; Associate Editor “Annual of the Universal Medical Sciences," etc. PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED BY WOOD-ENGRAVINGS AND ORIGINAL DIAGRAMS, AND PUBLISHED IN ONE HANDSOME ROYAL OCTAVO VOLUME OF ABOUT 400 PAGES, BOUND IN EXTRA CLOTH. NET PRICE, UNITED STATES and CANADA, $2.00, Post-paid; GREAT BRITAIN, 8s. 6d. ; FRANCE, 12 fr. 40. The part on Physical Electricity, written by Dr. Liebig, one of the recognized authorities on the science in the United States, treats fully such topics of interest as Storage Batteries. Dynamos, the Electric Light, and the Principles and Practice of Electrical Measurement in their relations to Medical Practice. Professor Rohe, who writes on Electro-Therapeutics, discusses at length the recent developments of Electricity in the treatment of stricture, enlarged prostate, uterine iibroids, pelvic cellulitis, and other diseases of the male and female genito-urinary organs. The applications of Electricity in dermatology, as well as in the diseases of the nervous system, are also fully considered. THE SECOND VOLUME IN THE PHYSICIANS’ AND STUDENTS’ READY REFERENCE SERIES. HAND-BOOK OF Materia Medina, Pbapmaeij, and flierapeuties By CUTHBERT BOWEN, M.D., B.A., Editor of “ Notes on Practice." EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. — “ While this is essentially a Student’s Manual, alarge amount of matter has been incorporated which, it is hoped, will render it a useful reference-book to the young graduate who is just entering on his professional career, and more particularly the individual whose sphere of work demands a more practical acquaintance with pharmaceutical processes than is required of the ordi- nary city practitioner. Great care has been taken throughout the book to familiarize the student with the best methods of administering the various drugs he will be called upon to use, and with this object a large number of standard prescriptions have been selected from the works of the most eminent authorities, which he can either adopt . with modifications to suit particular cases, or use as models on which to construct his own formulae." This excellent manual comprises in its 366 small octavo pages about as much sound and valuable in- formation on the subjects indicated in its title as could well be crowded into the compass. The book is exhaustively and correctly indexed, and of a con- venient form. The paper, press-work, and binding are excellent, and the typography (long primer and I brevier) is highly to be commended, as opposed to the nonpareil and agate usually used incompendsof 1 this sort, and which are destructive to vision and temper alike. — Si. Louis Med. and Surg. Jour. In going through it, we have been favorably im- pressed by the plain and practical suggestions in regard to prescription writing, and the metric sys- lem, and the other things which must be known in order to write good and accurate prescriptions. — Medical and Surgical Reporter. Many works claim more in their title-pages than can be verified further on, but the only adverse criticism we can make on this volume is that it does not claim enough. — Southern California Prac- titioner. The book is one of the very best of its class. — Columbus Medical Journal. This is a very condensed and valuable resume of the drugs recognized by the United States Phar- macopoeia, and all the officinal and important preparations. — Southern Medical Record. Dr. Bowen’s work is a very valuable one indeed, and will be found “to fill a want" beyond a doubt. — Cincinnati Medical News. It is short and concise in its treatment of the subjects, yet it gives sufficient to gain a very correct knowledge of everything that comes under this head- ing. This is a ready work for the country physician, who must o f necessity have a more practical acquain- tance with pharmaceutical processes. — Medical Brief. One 12mo volume of 370 pages.

This remarkable book has passed through eight (8) editions in less than five years, has met with the unanimous and hearty approval of the Profession, and is practically indispensable to every young graduate who aims at success in his chosen profession. It has just undergone a thorough revision by the author, who has added much new matter cover- ing many points and elucidating many excellent ideas not included in former editions. This unique book, the only complete one of the kind ever written, will prove of inestimable pleasure and value to the practi- tioner of many j'ears’ standing, as well as to the young physician who needs just such a work to point the way to success. We give below a few of the many unsolicited letters Received by the author, and extracts from reviews in the Medical Journals of the former editions : “ ‘The Physician Himself’ is an opportune and most useful book, which cannot fail to exert a good influence on the morale and the business success of the Medical profession.” — From Prof. Roberts Ba rtholow, Philadelphia , Pa. • I have read ‘The Physician Himself’ with pleasure — delight. It is brimful of medical and social philosophy ; every doctor in the land can study it with pleasure and profit. I wish I could have read such a work thirty years ago.” — From Prof. John S. Lynch , Baltimore , Md. ‘“The Physician Himself’ interested me so much that I actually read it through at one sitting. It is brimful of the very best advice possible for medical men. I, for one, shall try to profit by it.” — From Prof. William Goodell, Philadelphia. “ I would be glad if, in the true interest of the professi®n in ‘Old England,’ some able practitioner here would prepare awork for us on the same line as ‘ The Physician Himself.’ ” — From Dr. Jukes de Sty rap, Shrewsbury , England. “ I am most favorably impressed with the wisdom and force of the points made in ‘ The Phy- sician Himself,' and believe the work in the hands of a young graduate will greatly enhance his chances for professional success.” — From Prof. D. Hayes Agncw, Philadelphia , Pa. “ This book is evidently the production of an unspoiled mind and the fruit of a ripe career. 1 admire its pure tone and feel the value of its practi- cal points. How I wish I could have read such a guide at the outset of my career!” — From Prof. James Nevins Plyde, Chicago, III. “ It contains a great deal of good sense, well expressed.” — From Prof . Oliver Wendell Holmes , Harvard University. “ ‘The Physician Himself’ is useful alike to the | tyro and the sage — the neophyte and the veteran. It is a ' headlight in the splendor of whose beams a I multitude of our profession shall find their way to success .” — From Prof. J. M. Bodine, Dean Uni- i versity of Louisville. “ It is replete with good sense and sound phi- | losophy. No man can read it without realizing that I its author is a Christian, a gentleman, and a shrewd i observer .” — From Prof .

Spinal Concussion: Surgically Considered as a Cause of Spinal Injury, and Neurologi- cally Restricted to a Certain Symptom Group, for which is Suggested the Designation ERICHSEN’S DISEASE, AS ONE FORM OF THE TRAUMATIC NEUROSES.

For more than twenty years this subject has occasioned bitter con- tention in law courts, between physicians as well as attorneys, and in that time no work has appeared that reviewed the entire field judicially until Dr. Clevenger’s book was written. It is the outcome of five years special study and experience in legal circles, clinics, hospital and private practice, in addition to twenty years’ labor as a scientific student, writer and teacher. The literature of Spinal Concussion has been increasing of late year- to an unwieldy shape for the general student, and Dr. Clevenger has in thi work arranged and reviewed all that has been done by observers shu- ttle days of Eriehsen and those who preceded him. The different ami sometimes antagonistic views of many authors are fully given from tli writings of Eriehsen, Page, Oppenheim, Erb, Westphal. Abercrombie Sir Astley Cooper, Boyer, Charcot, Leyden, Bigler. Spitzka. Putnan Knapp, Dana, and many other European and American students of t h subject. The small, but important, work of Oppenheim. of the Bel li University, is fully translated, and constitutes a chapter of Dr. Clevei ger’s book, and reference is made wherever discussions occurred i American medico-legal societies. There are abundant illustrations, particularly for E.lectro-diagnosi. and to enable a clear comprehension of the anatomical and pathologic: relations. The Chapters are : 1. Historical Introduction ; II. Eriehsen o Spinal Concussion ; III. Page on Injuries of the Spine and Spinal Con IV. Recent Discussions of Spinal Concussion : Y. Oppenheim on Trai matic Neuroses; YI. Illustrative Cases from Original and all otln Sources; VII. Traumatic Insanity; YIII. The Spinal Column; I' • Symptoms; X. Diagnosis; XI. Pathology : XII. Treatment; XII Medico-legal Considerations. Other special features consist in a description of modern methex of diagnosis by Electricity, a discussion of the controversy concern in hysteria, and the author’s original pathological view that the lesion one involving the spinal sympathetic nervous system. In this. latt( respect entirely new ground is taken, and the diversity of opinion co cerning the functional and organic nature of the disease is afforded basis for reconciliation.

In prosecuting their inquiries, t.he first hindrance has been the want of any reliable, or in any degree satisfactory, literature on the subject. Purged of the much quackery heretofore associated with it, Aerotherapy is now recognized as a legitimate department of medical practice. Although little noise is made about it, the use of Oxygen Gas as a remedy has increased in this country within a few years to such an extent that in New York City alone the consumption for medical [im- poses now amounts to more than 300,000 gallons per annum. This work, translated in the main from the French of Professor Demarquay, contains also a very full account of recent English, German, and American experiences, prepared by Dr. Samuel S. Wallian, of New York, whose experience in this field antedates that of any other American writer on the subject. Plain Talks on Avoided Subjects. — BY — ■ * - HENRY N.

BOUND IN EXTRA CLOTH. Price, Post-paid, in United States and Canada, $1.00; Great Britain, 4s. 6d. ; France, 6 fr. 20. This is a little volume designed to convey information upon one of the most important subjects coa- nected with our physical and spiritual well-being, and is adapted to both sexes and all ages and conditions of society ; in fact, so broad is its scope that no human being can well afford to be without it, and so com- prehensive in its teachings that, no matter how well informed one may be, something can yet be learned from this, and yet it is so plain that any one who can read at all can fully understand its meaning. The Author, Dr. H. N. Guernsey, has had an unusually long and extensive practice, and his teachings ia this volume are the results of his observation and actual experience with all conditions of human life. His work is warmly indorsed by many leading men in all branches of professional life, as well as by many whose business connections have caused them to be close observers. The following Table of Contents shows the scope of the book: — CONTENTS. Chapter I. — Introductory. II. — The Infant. III. — Childhood. IV. — Adoles- cence of the Male. V.— Adolescence of the Female. VI. — Marriage: The Husband. VII. — The Wife. VIII. — Husband and Wife. IX. — To the Unfortunate. X. — Origin of the Sex. (F. A.

With 112 Illustrations. Third Edition, Tlioronghly Revised and Greatly Enlarged. ONE VOLUME, LARGE OCTAVO, 578 PAGES. This exceedingly valuable work, from one of the most eminent specialists and teachers in gynecology in the United States, is now offered to the profession in a much more complete condition than either of the previous editions. It embraces all the more important diseases and the principal operations in the field of gynecology, and brings to bear upon them all the extensive practical experience and wide reading of the author. It is an indispensable guide to every practitioner who has to do with the diseases peculiar to women. Fig. 44 . Natural Position of the Womb When the Bladder is Full. After Briesky. A These lessons are so well known that it is en- tirely unnecessary to do more than to call attention to the fact of the appearance of the third edition. It is too good a book to have been allowed to remain ©ut of print, and it has unquestionably been missed. The author has revised the work with special care, adding to each lesson such fresh matter as the prog- ress in the art rendered necessary, and he has en- larged it by the insertion of six new lessons. This edition will, without question, be as eagerly sought for as were its predecessors. — American Journal of Obstetrics. The former editions of this treatise were well received by the profession, and there is no doubt that the new matter added to the present issue makes it more useful than its predecessors. — New York Medical Record . His literary style is peculiarly charming. There is a directness and simplicity about it which is easier to admire than to copy. His chain of plain words and almost blunt expressions, his familiar compari- son and homely illustrations, make his writings, like his lectures, unusually entertaining. The substance of his teachings we regard as equally excellen’ — Phi la. Medical and Surgical Reporter. Extended mention of the contents of the book is unnecessary; suffice it to say that every important disease found in the female sex is taken up and dis- cussed in a common-sense kind of a way.

This is a unique and valuable work, and useful to physicians in all parts of the country. It is just such a volume as the Medical Profession have stood in need of for many years. We mention a few of the merits it possesses: First. List of all the Health Resorts of the country, arranged according to their climate. Second. Contains just the information needed by tourists, invalids, and those who visit summer or winter resorts. Third. The latest and best large railroad map for reference. Fourth. It indicated the climate each one should select for health. Fifth. The author has traveled extensively, and most of his suggestions are practical in reference to localities. Taken altogether, this is by far the most complete ex- position of the subject of resorts that has yet been put forth, and it is one that every physician must needs possess intelligent information upon. We predict a large demand for this useful and attractive book .— Buffalo Med. and Surg. Jour. The special chapter on the therapeutics of climate . . is excellent for its precautionary suggestions in the selec- tion of climates and local conditions, with reference to known pathological indications and constitutional predis- positions . — The Sanitarian. It is arranged in such a manner that it will be of great service to medical men whose duty it often becomes to rec- ommend a health resort. — N. W. Med. Jour. A well-arranged map of the United States serves as the frontispiece of the book ; and an almost perfect index is appended, while between the two is an amount of informa- tion as to places for the health-seeker that cannot be gotten elsewhere. We most cordially recommend the book to travelers and to the doctor. — Virginia Med. Monthly. This is a work that has long been needed, as there is scarcely a physician who has not had occasion to look up the authorities on climate, elevation, dryness, humidity, etc , etc., of the various health resorts, and has had great difficulty in finding reliable information. It certainly ought, as it deserves, to receive a hearty welcome from the profession . — Medical Advance. The book before us is a very comprehensive volume, giving all neeessaiy information concerning climate, tem- perature. humidity, sunshine, and indeed everything neces- sary to be stated for the benefit of the physician or invalid seeking a health resort in the United States . — Southern Clinic. This work is extremely valuable, owing to the liberal and accurate manner in which it gives information regard- ing the various resorts on the American continent, without being prejudiced in the least in favor of any particular one, but giving all in a fair manner. . . . All physicians need just such a work, for the doctor is always asked to give information on the subject to his patients. Therefore, it should find a place in every physician's library.— The Med. Brief. The author of this admirable work has long made a study of American climate, from the stand-point of a phy- sician. with a view to ascertaining the most suitable locali- ties for the residence of invalids, believing proper climate to be an almost indispensable factor in the treatment* pre- vention, and cure of many forms of disease. . . .

ZDesig-n-ed. Toy JOX3:3>T 3^. KE-A-TiasTGi-, IMMD. In examining for Life Insurance, questions are easily overlooked and the answers to them omitted ; and, as these questions are indispensable, they must be answered before the case can be acted upon, and the examiner is often put to much inconvenience to obtain this information. The need has long been felt among examiners for a reference-book in which could he noted the principal points of an examination, and thereby obviate the necessity of a second visit to the applicant when further information is required. After' a careful study of all the forms of examination blanks now used by Insurance Companies, Dr. J. M. Keating has compiled such a record-book which we are sure will fill this long-felt want. This record-book is small, neat, and complete, and embraces all the principal points that are required by the different' companies. It is made in two sizes, viz. : No. 1. cover- ing one hundred (100) examinations, and No. 2, covering two hundred (200) examina- tions.

There are many excellent text-books on children’s diseases, but they have failed to give a satisfactory account of the diseases of the heart ; and, indeed, as far as known, this work of Keating and Edwards' n >\\ presented to the profession is the only systematic attempt that has been made to collect in book form the abundant material which is scattered throughout medical literature in the form of journal art icles, clinical lectures, theses, and reports of societies. Th‘e authors have endeavored, in their difficult task, to collect these valuable materials and place them within easy reach of those who are interested in this important subject. That they' have succeeded will, we believe, be conceded by all who obtain and make use of their very valuable contribution to this hitherto neglected field of medical literature. An appendix, entitled “ Clinical Studies on the Pulse in Childhood,” follows the index in the book, and will, we are sure, be found of much real value to every practitioner of medicine. The work is made available for ready reference by a well-arranged index.

Dvs. Keating and Edwards have produced a work that : will give material aid to every doctor in his practice among i children. The style of the book is graphic and pleasing, the diagnostic points are explicit and exact, and the thera- peutical resources include the novelties of medicine as well as the old and tried agents. — Pittsburgh Med. Review. A very attractive and valuable work has been given to the medical profession by Drs. Keating and Edwards, in their treatise on the diseases of the heart and circulation in infancy and adolescence, and they deserve the greatest credit for the admirable manner iu which they have col- i lected. reviewed, and made use of the immense amount of 1 material on this important sub ject. — Archives of Pediatrics. 1 The plan of the work is the correct one, viz., the sup- plementing of the observations of the better class of prac- titioners by the experience of those who have given the subject systematic attention . — Medical Age. It is not a mere compilation, but a systematic treatise and bears evidence of considerable labor and observation or the part of the authors. Two fine photographs of dissec tions exhibit mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation there are also a number of wood-cuts. — Cleveland Medico Gazette. As the works upon diseases of children give little or n attention to diseases of the heart, this work of Dr*. Kent ing and Edwards will supply a want. We think thji there will be no physician, who takes an interest in th affections of young’ folks, who will not wish! ' consult it — Cincinnati Med. JVei cs.

He has endeavored to describe all that have borne inves- tigation up to date. The system will prove to be of great value in this, that so little labor will be required to add new investigation as fast as may be gathered from new books, journals, etc. The classification is alphabetical and numerical in arrangement, and serves so to unite the various essentials of Botany, Chemistry, and Materia Medica, that the very thought of the one will readily associate the principal properties and uses, as well as its origin. The “MATERIA MEDICA’’ CHART, in the first place, aids at a glance: ist, Botanical or U. S. P. Name; 2d, The Common Name; 3d, Natural Order ; 4th, Where Indigenous; 5th, Principal Con- stituent; 6th, Part Used — herbs, leaves, flowers, roots, barks, etc. ; 7th, Medicinal Properties — mainly con- sidered; 8th, The "Dose — medium and large. On this Chart there are 475 first names ; Section A. is numbered from 1 to 59, each section commencing with the capital letter, and having its own numbers on both left-hand and right-hand columns, to prevent mistakes in lining out, all in quite large type. In the centre of the Chart, occupying about 6 inches in width, is a term index of common names. In the second column of Chart, like this : • Aconite Leaves, 4 A. Then by reference to 4 A in first column, you there find the Botanical or U. S. P. Name. On this Chart is also found a brief definition of the terms used, under the heading “ Medicinal Properties.” The “CHEMISTRY” CHART takes in regular order the U. S. Pharmacopoeia Chemicals, with the addition of many new ones, and following the name, the Chemical Formula, the Molecular Weight, and next the Origin. This is a brief but accurate description of the essential points in the manufacture : The Dose, medium and large: next, Specific Gravity; then, whether Salt or Alkaloid; next. Solubilities, by abbreviation, in Water, Alcohol, and Glycerine, and blank columns for solubilities, as desired. Alkaloids and Concentrations are tabulated with reference numbers for the Perpetual Clinical Index, giving Medicinal Properties, Minute Dose and Large Dose For example. Alkaloids and Concentrations: A. Medicinal Properties. Minute Dose. Large Dose. (a) Aconitine. Narcotic and Apyretic. 1-500 gr. 1-16 gr. Following this, Preparations of the Pharmacopoeia, each tabulated. For example : TINCTURAL. Tinctura. Drug. Amount. . Alcohol. Dose. * Aconiti. | $ Aconite. ( Tartaric Acid, 60 f P. 5 % oz. to 24 gr. 300 1 to 3 drops. * 60 Fineness of Powder as per U. S. P. f P. Macerate 24 hours. Percolate, adding Menstruum to complete (1) pint tincture. They are all thus abbreviated, with a ready reference head-note. Next, Thermometers, Metric Table of Weights, Helps to the Study of Chemistry, Examples in Work- ing Atomic Molecular Formulae. Next, Explanation of Terms Used in Columns of Solubilities, List of Most Important Elements Now in Use, and Definitions or Terms Frequently Used in Chemistry' and Pharmacy. The “PERPETUAL CL.INICAL INDEX” is a book 6 by 9 inches, and one-half inch thick. It contains 135 pages, divided as follows (opposite pages blank) : The Index to Chemistry Chart occupies two pages; Explanations, Abbreviations, etc., forty pages, with diseases, and with an average of ten references to each disease, leaving room for about forty more remedies for each disease. The numbers refer to the remedies used in the diseases by the most celebrated physicians and surgeons, and the abbreviations to the manner in which they are used. Eight pages, numbered and bracketed, for other diseases not enumerated. The Materia Medica, Explanations, Abbreviations, and Remedies suggested for, occupy twenty-six pages. For Abbreviated Prescriptions, seventeen blank pages. Then the Index to Alkaloids and Concentrations. These, already enumerated, with their reference, number six blank tabulated pages, for noting any new Alkaloids and Concentrations. Then the Chemistry Index, giving the same number as on Chart, with Name, Doses, Specific Gravity, Salt or Alkaloid in the same line, as for example : Name. j Doses. i Specific Gravity. Salt or Alkaloid. Memoranda. This Memoranda place is for Physicians’ or Pharmacists’ reference notes ; and with the addition of several tabulated blank pages, in which to add any new chemical, with doses, etc. The remaining sixteen pages for Materia Medica Index, leaving blanks following each other for new names and reference numbers. To show the ready and permanent use of the “Perpetual Clinical Index” of the “Chemistry” and “Pharmacy” Charts or Index in the book, suppose the Phj r sician reads in a book or journal that Caffeine Citras is useful in the disease Chorea, and he wishes to keep a permanent record of that, he refers to the Chart, and if it does not already appear there, it can be placed opposite and numbered, and thereafter used for reference. But we find its permanent number is No. 99, so he will write down in the line left blank for future use in his book, in line already used, running parallel with other reference numbers in Chorea, the No. 99, and immediately under he can use the abbreviation in the manner in which it is given. Though years may have passed, he can in a moment, by referring there, see that No. 99 is good for Chorea. If fail- ing to remember what No. 99 is, he glances at the Chart or Index. He sees that No. 99 is Caffeine Citras, and he there learns its origin and dose and solubility, and in a moment an intelligent prescription can be constructed. (F. A.

This work is presented to the profession as the most complete treatise yet issued om the electrical treatment of diseases of women, and is -destined to fill the increasing demand for clear and practical instruction in the handling and use of strong currents after the recent methods first advocated by Apostoli. The whole subject is treated from the present stand-point of electric science with new and original illustrations, the thorough studies o; the author and his wide clinical experience rendering him an authority upon electricity itself and its therapeutic applications. The author has enhanced the practical value o the work by including the exact details of treatment and results in a number of case.- taken from his private and hospital practice.

This work gives a complete account of the methods of antiseptic surgery. The dif- ferent agents used in antiseptic dressing, their methods of preparation, and their application in the treatment of wounds are full}' described. With this work as a guide it is possible for every surgeon to practice antiseptic surgery. The great advances made in the science and art of surgery are largely due to the introduction of anti- septic methods of wound treatment, and it is incumbent upon every progressive sur- geon to employ them. An examination of this work will show that it is thoroughly systematic in its plan, so that it is not only useful to the practitioner, who may be called upon to perform operations, but of great value to the student in his work in the surgical room , where he is required to apply bandages and fracture dressings, and to perform operations upon the cadaver. The experience of the author, derived from many years’ service as a teacher (private and public) and practitioner, has enabled him to present the topics discussed in such a manner as to fully meet the needs of both prac- titioners and students. It is full of common sense, and may be safely taken as a guide in the matters of which it treats. It would be hard to point out all the excellences of this book. We can heartily recommend it to students and to practitioners of surgery. — American Jour- nal of the Medical Sciences.

THE Medical Bulletin V isiting List — or — Physician's Call Becord. ARRANGED UPON AN ORIGINAL AND CONVENIENT MONTHLY AND WEEKLY PLAN FOR THE DAILY RECORDING OF PROFESSIONAL VISITS. Frequent Rewriting of Names Unnecessary. This Visiting List is arranged upon a plan best adapted to the mosi convenient use of all physicians, and embraces a new feature in recording daily visits not found in any other list, consisting of stub or half leave.- in the form of inserts, a glance at which will suffice to show that as tin first week’s record of visits is completed the next week’s record may bt made by simply turning over the stub-leaf, without the necessity of re writing the patients’ names. This is done until the month is completed, and the physician has kept his record just as complete in every detail of visit, charge, credit, etc., as he could have done had he used any of the old-style visiting lists, and has also saved himself three-fourths of the time and labor formerly required in transferring names evert week. There are no intricate rulings ; everything is easily and quickly under- stood ; not the least amount of time can be lost in comprehending the plan, for it is acquired at a glance. The Three Different Styles Made. • The No. 1 Style of this List provides ample space for the daily record of seventy (70) different names each month for an entire year (two full pages, thirty-five [35] names to a page, being allowed to each month), so that its size is sufficient for an ordinary practice ; but for physicians who prefer a List that will accommodate a larger practice we have made a No. 2 Style, which provides ample space for the daily record of one hundred and five different names (105) each month for an entire year (three full pages being allowed to each month), and for physicians who may prefer a Pocket Record Book of less thickness than either of these styles we have made a No. 3 Style, in which “ The Blanks for the Recording of Visits In ” have been made into removable sections. These sections are very thin, and are made up so as to answer in full the demand of the largest practice, each section providing ample space for the daily record of two hundred and ten (210) different names for one month; or one hundred and five (105) different names daily each month for two months ; or sevent}’ (70) different names daily each month for three months ; or thirty-five (35) different names daily each month for six months. Four sets of these sections go with each copy of No. 3 Style. Special Features Not Found in Any Other List. In this No. 3 Style the printed matter, and such matter as the blank forms for Addresses of Patients, Obstetric Record, Vaccination Record, Cash Account, Births and Deaths Records, etc., are fastened permanently in the back of the book, thus reducing its thickness. The addition of one of these removable sections does not increase the size quite an eighth of an inch. This brings the book into such a small com- pass that no one can object to it on account of its thickness, as its bulk 14 is very much less than that of any visiting list ever published. Every physician will at once understand that as soon as a section is full it can l>e taken out, filed awajr, and another inserted without the least incon- venience or trouble. This Visiting List contains a Calendar for the last six months of last year, all of this, and next year; Table of Signs to be used in Keeping Accounts; Dr. Ely’s Obstetrical Table; Table of Cal- onlating the Number of Doses in a given R, etc., etc. ; for converting Apothecaries’ Weights and Measures into Grammes ; Metrical Avoirdu- pois and Apothecaries’ Weights ; Number of Drops in a Fluidrachm ; Graduated Doses for Children ; Graduated Table for Administering Laudanum ; Periods of Eruption of the Teeth ; The Average Frequency of the Pulse at Different Ages in Health; Formula and Doses of Hypo- dermic Medication; Use of the Hypodermic Syringe; Formulae and Doses of Medicine for Inhalation ; Formulae for Suppositories for the Rectum; The Use of the Thermometer in Disease; Poisons and their Antidotes; Treatment of Asphyxia; Anti-Emetic Remedies; Nasal Douches; Eye-Washes. Most Convenient Time- and Labor- Saving List Issued. It is evident to every one that this is, beyond question, the best and most convenient time- and labor- saving Physicians’ Record Book ever published. Physicians of many years’ standing and with large practices pronounce this the Best List they have ever seen. It is handsomely bound in fine, strong leather, with flap, including a pocket for loose memoranda, etc., and is furnished with a Dixon lead-pencil of excellent -quality and finish.

The usual pages for cash account, obstetrical record, addresses, etc., are included. A large amount of miscellaneous information is presented in a condensed form.” — Occidental Medical Tunes. “It is a monthly instead of a weekly record, thus obviating the transferring of names oftener than once a month. There is a Dr. and Cr. column following each week’s record, enabling the doctor to carry a patient’s account for an indefinite time, • or until he is discharged, with little trouble.” — Jndiana Medical Journal. “Accounts can begin and end at any date. Each name can be entered for each day of every month on the same line. To accomplish this, four leaves, little more than one-third as wide as the usual leaf of the book, follow each page. Oppo- site is a full page for the recording of special memoranda. The usual accompaniments of this class of books are made out with care and fitness.” — The American Lancet. “This is a novel list, and an unusually con- venient one.” — Journal of the Amer. Med.

BEING A LEDGER AND ACCOUNT-BOOK FOR PHYSICIANS’ USE, MEETING ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW AND COURTS. DESIGNED BY ■WILLIAM -A.. SEIBEET, Of IEXa.storx, IF 1 a.. 3 rob ably no class of people lose more money through carelessly kept A accounts and overlooked or neglected bills than phj^sicians. Often detained at the bedside of the sick until late at night, or deprived of even a modicum of rest, it is with great difficulty that he spares the ime or puts himself in condition to give the same care to his own iinancial interests that a merchant, a lawyer, or even a farmer devotes. It is then plainly apparent that a system of bookkeeping and accounts chat, without sacrificing accuracy, but, on the other hand, ensuring it, at he same time relieves the keeping of a physician’s book of half their omplexity and two-thirds the labor, is a convenience which will be agerly welcomed by thousands of overworked physicians. Such a sys- tem has at last been devised, and we take pleasure in offering it to the rofession in the form of The Physician’s All-Requisite Time- and jabor- Saving Account-Book. There is no exaggeration in stating that this Account-Book and Ledger reduces the labor of keeping your accounts more than one-half, nnd at the same time secures the greatest degree of accuracy. We may mention a few of the superior advantages of The Physician’s All- Requisite Time- and Labor- Saving Account-Book, as follow: — First — Will meet all the requirements of the law and courts. Second — Self-explanatory ; no cipher code. Third — Its completeness without sacrificing anything. Fourth — No posting; one entry only. Fifth — Universal ; can be commenced at any time of year, and can be continued in- definitely until every account is filled. Sixth — Absolutely no waste of space. eventh - — One person must needs be sick every day of the year to fill his account, or might be ten years about it and re- quire no more than the space for one account in this ledger. ighth — Double the number and many times more than the number of accounts in any similar book; the 300-page book contains space for 900 accounts, and the 600-page book contains space for 1800 accounts. Ninth — There are no smaller spaces. Tenth — Compact without sacrificing com- pleteness ; every account complete on same page — a decided advantage and recommendation. Eleventh — Uniform size of leaves. Twelfth — The statement of the most com- plicated account is at once before you at any time of month or year — in other words, the account itself as it stands is its simplest statement. Thirteenth — No transferring of accounts, balances, etc. To all physicians desiring a quick, accurate, and comprehensive iethod of keeping their accounts, we can safety say that no book as litable as this one has ever been devised.

More than this, we believe it would be a great help in acquiring a vocabulary to be used in reading medical books, and that it would fur- nish an excellent basis for beginning a study of any one of the languages which it includes. — Medical and Surgical Reporter. Many other books of the same sort, with more ex- tensive vocabularies, have been published, but, from their size, and from their being usually devoted to equivalents in English and one other language only, they have not had the advantage which is pre-eminent in this — convenience.

Excels Every Other System in their Completeness, Compactness, and' Accuracy. Part I. The Nerves. — Gives in a clear form not only the Cranial and Spinal Nerves, showing the formation of the different Plexuses and their branches, but also the complete distribution of the te oipathetic Nerves, thereby making it the most complete and concise chart of the Nervous System yet published. Part II. The Arteries. — Gives a unique grouping of the Arterial System, showing the divisions and subdivisions of all the vessels, beginning from the heart and tracing their continuous distribution to the periphery, and showing at a glance the terminal branches of each artery. Part III. The Veins. — Shows how the blood from the periphery of the body is gradually collected by the larger veins, and these coalescing forming still larger vessels, until they finally trace themselves into the Right Auricle of the heart. It is therefore readily seen that “The Nervo- Vascular System of Charts” offers the following superior advantages: — 1. It is the only arrangement which combines the Three Systems, and yet each is perfect and distinct in itself. 2. It is the only instance of the Cranial, Spinal, and Sympathetic Nervous Systems being represented on one chart. 3. From its neat size and clear type, and being printed only upon one side, it maj' be tacked up in any convenient place, and is always ready for freshening up the memory and reviewing for examination. 4. The nominal price for which these charts are sold places them within the reach of all. For the student of anatomy there can possibly be no more concise way of acquiring a knowledge of the nerves, veins, and arteries of the human system. It presents at a glance their trunks and branches in the great divisions of the body. It will save a world of tedious reading, and will impress itself on the mind as no ordinary' vade mecum, even, could. Its price is nominal and its value inestima- ble. No student should be without it. — Pacific Record of Medicine and Surgery.

Net Price, in the United States and Canada, SI. 00, Post-paid ; Great Britain, 4s. 6d. ; France, 6 fr. 20. This great work upon a subject which, notwithstanding the great strides that have been made in its investigation and the deep interest it possesses for all. is neverthel ?? still but imperfectly understood, has been translated in a most perfect manner, and pre- serves most fully the inherent excellence and fascinating style of its renowned and lamented author. Full and complete, yet terse and concise, it handles the subject with such a vigor of touch, such a clearness of detail and description, and such a directness to the result, that no medical man who once takes it up will be content to lay it down until its perusal is complete, — nor will one reading be enough. Professor Ultzmann was recognized as one of the greatest authorities in his chosen specialty, and it is a little singular that so few of his writings have been translated into English. Those who have been so fortunate as to benefit by Iris instruction at the Vienna Polyclinic can testify to the soundness of his pathological teachings and the success of his methods of treatment. He approached the subject from a somewhat different point of view from most surgeons, and this gilves a peculiar value to the work. It is believed, moreover, that there is no convenient hand-book in English treating in a broad manner the Genito-urinary Neuroses. SYNOPSIS OF CONTENTS. First Part. — I.

The object of this little work is to place in the hands of the general practitioner the means to treat successfully a disease which, until lately, was considered as incurable ; its history, causes, pathology, and treat- ment are carefully described, and the latter is so arranged as to be practicable by any physician. Dr. Sajoijs’ volume must command the attention of those called upon to treat this heretofore intractable com- plaint. — Medical and Surgical Reporter. Few have had the success in this disease which has so much baffled the average practitioner as Dr. Sajous, con- sequently his statements are almost authoritative. The book must be read to be appreciated. — American Medical Digest. Dr. Sajous has admirably presented the subject, and, as this method of treatment is now generally recognized as efficient, we can recommend this book to all physicians wno are cauea upon to treat tms trouoiesome disorder. — The Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal.

Sanite's work is quoted, directly or indirectly, by every writer since its publication, as the highest authority, statistically, theoretically, and practically. The translator, having given special study to the subject for many years, has added over fifty pages, in- cluding the Surgical Anatomy, Intubation, and the recent progress in the branches treated down to the present date; making it, beyond question, the most complete work extant on the subject of Diphtheria in the English language. Facing the title-page is found a very fine Colored Lithograph Plate of the parts con- cerned in Tracheotomy. Next follows an illustration of a cast of the entire Trachea, and bronchi to the third or fourth division, in one piece, taken from a photograph of a case in which the cast was expelled during life from a patient sixteen years old. This is the most complete cast of any one recorded. Over fifty other illustrations of the surgical anatomy of instruments, etc., add to the practical value of the work. Diphtheria having become such a prevalent, wide-spread, and fatal disease, no general practitioner can afford to be without this work. It will aid in preventive meas- ures, stimulate promptness in the application of, and efficiency in, treatment, and moderate the extravagant views which have been entertained regarding certain specifies in the disease Diphtheria. A full Index accompanies the enlarged volume, also a List of Authors,- making altogether a very handsome illustrated volume of over 680 pages. Ln this book we have a complete review and compendium of all worth preserving that has hitherto been said or written concerning diphtheria and the kindred subjects treated of by our author, collated, arranged, and commented on by both author arid translator. The subject of intubation, so recently revived in this country, receives a very careful and impartial discussion at the hands of the translator, and a most valuable chapter on the prophylaxis of diphtheria and croup closes the volume. His notes are frequent and full, displaying deep knowledge of the subject-matter. Altogether the book is one that is valuable and timely, and one that should be in the hands of every general practi- tioner. — St. Louis Med. and Surgical Journal.

T HE Publisher takes pleasure in announcing that Volume I of this eagerly-looked-for work is Now Ready, and that the utmost diligence will be exercised in filling with the greatest rapidity, and in regular order of receipt, the numerous orders now awaiting its publication. The general plan of the work embraces three parts, each of which is practically inde- pendent of the other, as will be understood from the accompanying analysis, and of which Parts I and II are contained in the volume now announced ; this, however, is not the only advantage accruing from the preparation of the work in two volumes. Each volume will thus be much smaller and more convenient to handle, while some may wish to secure a particular portion of the work, and to them the cost is lessened. Several blank sheets of closely -ruled letter-paper are inserted at convenient places in the work, thus rendering it available for the student and physician to add valuable notes concerning new remedies and other important matters. Pakt I embraces three subdivisions, as follow : — First. A brief synopsis upon the subject of pharmacy, in which is given a clear and concise description of the operations and preparations taken into account by the physician when prescribing medicines, together with some practical suggestions regarding the most desirable methods for securing efficiency and palatability. Second. A Classification of Medicines is presented under the head of “ General Phar- macology and Therapeutics,” with a view to indicate more especially the methods by which the economy is affected. Thus, there are Internal and External Remedies, and. besides, a class termed Chemical Agents, including Antidotes, Disinfectants, and Anti- septics, and an explanatory note is appended to each group, as in the case of Alteratives, Antipyretics, Antispasmodics, Purgatives, etc. Third. A Summary has been prepared upon Therapeutics, covering methods of Administration, Absorption and Elimination, Incompatibility, Prescription-writing, and Dietary for the Sick, this section of the work embracing nearly one hundred and fifty pages. * Part II is devoted to “Remedies and Remedial Agents Not Properly Classed with Drugs,” and includes elaborate articles upon the following topics : Electro-Therapy, Hydro-Therapy, Masso-Therapy, Heat and Cold, Oxygen, Mineral- Waters, and, in addi- tion thereto, other subjects, perhaps of less significance to the practitioner, such as Clima- tology, Hypnotism and Suggestion, Metallo-Therapy, Transfusion, and Baunscheidtismus. have received a due share of attention. This section of the work embraces over two hun- dred pages, and will be found especially valuable to the student and recent graduate, as these articles are fully abreast of the times. Volume II, which is Part III of the work, is wholly taken up with the consideration of drags, each remedy being studied from three points of view, viz., the Preparations, or Materia Medica; the Physiology and Toxicologv, or Pharmacology, and, lastly, its Thera'py. It will be Ready about May 1, 1890. The typography of the work will be found clean, sharp, and easily read without injury to the visual organs, and the bold-face type 1 interspersed throughout the text makes the different subjects discussed quick of reference. The paper and binding will also be up to the standard, and nothing will be left undone to make the work first-class in every particular. (F. A.

Broad, though not encyclopaedic, concise nthout sacrificing clearness, it combines ne essentials of a successful text-book. It s eminently modern, and, although first in ae field, is of such grade of excellence that uccessors must reach a high standard be- ore they become competitors. — Annals of Surgery. Dr. Smith has conferred a great benefit pon the veterinary profession by his con- ribution to their use of a work of immense alue, and has provided the American vet- rinary student with the only means by which he can become properly familiar with tie physiology of our domestic animals. Veterinary practitioners and graduates will >ead it with pleasure. Veterinary students nil readily acquire needed knowledge from ts pages, and veterinary schools which •would be well equipped for the work they 1 m to perform cannot ignore it as their ext-book in physiology. — American Veteri- nary Review. Dr. Smith's presentment of his subject is as brief as the status of the science per- mits, and to this much-desired conciseness e has added an equally welcome clearness f statement. The illustrations in the work re exceedingly good, and must prove a aluable aid to the full understanding of :he text. — Journal of Comparative Medicine nd Surgery. AVe have examined the work in a great lany particulars, and find the views so orrect, where we have had the means of omparison of statements with those of some ecognized authority, that we will be com- elled hereafter to look to this work as the ext-book on physiology of animals. The ook will prove of incalculable benefit to eterinarians wherever they may be found; nd to the country physician, who is often riled upon to attend to sick animals as well as human beings, we would say, lose 0 time in getting this work and let him imiliarize himself with the facts it con- iins.— Virginia Medical Monthly. Altogether, Professor Smith’s “ Physi- logy of the Domestic Animals” is a happy roduction, and will be hailed with delight 1 both the human medical and veterinary ledical worlds. It should find its place esides in all agricultural libraries. — Paui. aquin, M.D., V.S., in the Weekly Medical leview. It may be said that it supplies to the eterinary student the place in physiology hat Chauveau’s incomparable work — “ The omparative Anatomy of the Domesticated nimals” — occupies in anatomy. Higher raise than this it is not possible to bestow, nd since it is true that the same laws of hysiology which are applicable to the vital rocess of the domestic animals are also ap- 'icable to man, a perusal of this carefully ritten book will repay the medical student r practitioner. — Canadian Practitioner. ~SS= — L. Bcr The work before us fills the hiatus of which complaint has so often been made, and gives in the compass of less than a thousand pages a very full and complete account of the functions of the body in both carnivora and herbivora. The author has judiciously made the nutritive functions the strong point of the work, and has devoted special attention to the subject of foods and digestion. In looking through the other sections of the work, it appears to us that a just proportion of space is assigned to each, in view of their relative importance to the practitioner. Thus, while the subject of re- production is dismissed in a few pages, a chapter of considerable length is devoted to locomotion, and especially to the gaits of the horse. — London Lancet. This is almost the only work of the kind in the English language, and it s© fully covers every detail of general and special physiology that there is no room for any rival. The excellence of typographical •work, and the wealth, beauty, and clear- ness of the illustrations, correspond with the thoroughness and clearness of the treatise. — Albany Medical Annals. It is not often that the medical profes- sion has the opportunity of reading a new book upon a new subject, and doubtless English-speaking physicians will feel grate- ful to Professor Smith for his admirable and pioneer work in a branch of medical science upon which a great amount of ignor- ance prevails. . . . The last portion of the work is devoted to the reproductive functions, and contains much valuable in- formation upon a portion of animal physi- ology concerning which many are ignorant. The book is a valuable one in every way, and will be consulted largely by veterinary and medical students and practitioners. — Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal. The appearance of this work is most op- portune. It will be much appreciated, as tending to secure the thorough comprehen- sion of function in the domesticated ani- mals, and, in consequence, their general well-being — a matter of world-wide impor- tance. AVith a thorough sense of gratifica- tion we have perused its pages : throughout we find clear expression, clear reasoning, and that patient accumulation of facts so valuable in a text-book for students. — British Medical Journal. For notice this time, I take up the vol- ume on the “.Physiology of the Domestic Animals,” by Dr. R.

Because it contains the latest, largest (66 formulae) and most complete collection of hypodermic formula (including the latest new remedies) ever published, with doses and directions for their use iri over fifty different diseases and diseased conditions. 4. Because its appendix is brimful of information, invaluable in office work, emergency cases, am: the daily routine of practice. 5.

Without doubt this book is the best one of its class that we have ever seen The printing, binding. and general appearance of the volume aye beyond praise. — University Medical Magazine. It may be possible to get more crystallized knowledge in an equally small space, but it does not seem probable. — Medical Classics. A very handy and valuable book of formulas for the physician’s pocket.— St. Louis Medical and Surg. Journal. This little pocket-book contains an immense number of prescriptions taken from high authorities in this and other countries . — Northwestern Lancet. This one is the most complete as well as the most conveniently arranged of any that have come under our attention. The diseases are enumerated in alphabetical order, and for each the latest and most approved remedies from the ablest authorities are prescribed. The book is in- dexed entirely through after the order of the first pages of a ledger, the index letter being printed on morocco leather and thereby made very durable.— Pacific Medical Journal. It is a book desirable for the old practitioner and for his younger brothers as well. — St. Joseph 3fedical Herald.

YOUNG, M.D., Instructor in Orthopaedic Surgery and Assistant Demonstrator of Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Attending Orthopaedic Surgeon, Out-Patient Department, University Hospital, etc. ILLUSTRATED WITH 76 WOOD-ENGRAVINGS. 390 PAGES. 12mo. HANDSOMELY BOUND IN DARK-BLUE CLOTH. Price, Post-paid, in the United States and Canada, $1.40, net ; Great Britain, 6s. 6d. ; France, 9 fr. 25. I While the author has prepared this work especially lor students, sufficient de- scriptive matter has been added to render it extremely valuable to the busy practitioner, particularly the sections on the Viscera, Special Senses, and Surgical Anatomy. The work includes a complete account of Osteology, Articulations and Ligaments, Muscles, Fascias, Vascular and Nervous Systems, Alimentary, Vocal, and Respiratory and Genito-Urinary Apparatuses, the Organs of Special Sense, and Surgical Anatomy. In addition to a most carefully and accurately prepared text, wherever possible, the value of the work has been enhanced by tables to facilitate and minimize the labor of students in acquiring a thorough knowledge of this impor- tant subject. The section on the teeth has also been especially prepared to meet the requirements of students of Dentistry.' In its preparation, Gray’s Anatomy [last edition], edited by Keen, being the anatomical work most used, has been taken as the standard. Anatomy is a theme that allows such concen- tration better than most medical subjects, and, as the accuracy of this little book is beyond question, its value is assured. As a companion to the dis- secting-table, and a convenient reference for the practitioner, it has a definite field of usefulness. — Pittsburgh Medical Review. This is a very carefully prepared compend of anatomy, and will be useful to students for college I or hospital examination. There are some excellent tables in the work, particularly the one showing the origin, course, distribution, and functions of the cranial nerves. — Medical Record. Dr. Young has compiled a very useful book. We are not inclined to approve of compends as a general rule, but it certainly serves a good purpose to have the subject of anatomy presented in a com- pact, reliable way, and in a book easily carried to the dissecting-room. This the author has done. The book is well printed, and the illustrations well selected. If a student can indulge in more than one work on anatomy, — for, of course, he must have a general treatise on the subject, — he can hardly do better than to purchase this compend It will save the larger work, and can always be with him during the hours of dissection. — Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal. Excellent tables have been arranged, which tersely and clearly present important anatomical facts, and the book will be found very convenient for ready reference. — Columbus Medical Journal. The book is much more satisfactory than the ‘'remembrances” in vogue, and yet is not too cum- bersome to be carried around and read at odd moments — a property which the student will readily appreciate. — Weekly Medical Review. If a synopsis of human anatomy may serve a purpose, and we believe it does, it is very important that the synopsis should be a good one. In this respect the above work may be recommended as a reliable guide. Dr. Young has shown excellent judgment in his selection of illustrations, in the numerous tables, and in the classification of the various subjects. — Therapeutic Gazette. Every unnecessary word has been excluded, out of regard to the very limited time at the medical student’s disposal. It is also good as a reference book, as it presents the facts about which he wishes to refresh his memory in the briefest manner consistent with clearness. — New York Medical Journal It is certainly concise and accurate, and should be in the hands of every student and practitioner. — The Medical Brief.

We venture to say that all who saw the Annual as it appeared in 1888 were on the lookout for its reappearance this (1889) year ; but there are many whose knowledge of this magnificent undertaking will date with this present issue, and to those a mere examina- tion of the work will suffice to show that it fills a legitimate place in the evolution of knowledge, for it does what no single individual is capable of doing. These volumes make readily available to the busy practitioner the best fruits of medical progress for the year, selected by able editors from the current literature of the world ; such a work cannot be overlooked by anyone who would keep abreast of the times. With so much that is worthy of notice incorporated in one work, and each depart- ment written up with a minuteness and thoroughness appreciated particularly by the specialist, it would avail nothing to cite particular instances of progress. Let it be suffi- cient to say, however, that while formerly these was a possible excuse for not having the latest information on matters pertaining to the medical sciences, there can no longer be such an excuse while the Annual is published. — Journal of the American Medical Association. We have before us the second issue of this Annual, and it is not speaking too strongly when we say that the series of five volumes of which it consists forms a most important and valuable addition to medical literature. Great discretion and knowledge of the subjects treated of are required at the hands of those who have-taken charge of the various sections, and the manner in which the gentlemen who were chosen to fill the important posts of sub-editors have acquitted themselves fully justifies the choice made. We know of no branch of the profession to which this Annual could fail to be useful. Dr. Sajous deserves the thanks of the whole profession for his successful attempt to facilitate the advance of medical literature and practice. — London Lancet. This very valuable yearly report of the progress of medicine and its collateral sciences throughout the world is a work of very great magnitude and high importance. It is edited by Dr. C. E. Sajous, assisted, it is stated, by seventy associate editors, whose names are given, making up a learned and most weighty list. Their joint labors have combined to produce a series of volumes’ in which the current progress throughout the world, in respect to all the branches of medical science, is very adequately represented. The general arrangements of the book are ingenious and complete, having regard to thoroughness and to facility of bibliographical reference. — British Medical Journal. ANNUAL, 1890. The editor and publishers of the Annual of the Universal Medical Sciences take this opportunity to thank its numerous friends and patrons for the liberal support accorded it in the past, and to announce its publication, as usual, in 1890. Recording, as it does, the progress of the world in medicine and surgery, its motto continues to be, as in the past, “ Improvement,” and its friends may rest assured that no effort will be spared, not only to maintain, but to surpass, the high standard of excellence already attained.

It is now generally conceded that the nervous system controls all of the physical functions to a greater or less extent, and .also that most of the symptoms encountered at the bedside can be explained and interpreted from the stand-point of nervous physiology. The unprecedented sale of this work during the short period which has elapsed since its publication has already compelled the publishers to print a second edition, which is already nearly exhausted. We are glad to note that Dr. Ranney has pub- lished in ccok form his admirable lectures on nervous diseases. His book contains over seven hundred large pages, and is profusely illustrated with origi- nal diagrams and sketches in colors, and with many carefully selected wood-cuts and reproduced photo- graphs of typical cases. A large amount of valua- ble information, not a little of which has but recently appeared in medical literature, is presented in com- pact form, and thus made easily accessible. In our opinion. Dr. Ranney's book ought to meet with a cordial reception at the hands of the medical pro- fession, for, even though the author’s views may be sometimes open to question, it cannot be disputed that his work bears evidence of scientific method and honest opinion . — American Journal of Insanity.

This book has not only the inherent merit of presenting a clear expose of the subject, but it is written with a view to enable the general practitioner to treat his cases himself.
