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 inestimable. No student should be without it.—_Pacific Record of Medicine and Surgery._ These are three admirably arranged charts for the use of students, to assist in memorizing their anatomical studies.—_Buffalo Med. and Surg.

This will prove a most entertaining as well as most interesting treatise upon a disease which frequently falls to the lot of every practitioner. The work has been written with a special view of bringing out the features of the disease as it occurs in the United States. The author has very judiciously arranged the little volume, and it will offer many pleasant attractions to the practitioner.—_Nashville Journal of Medicine and Surgery._ While many monographs have been published which have dealt with the subject of diabetes, we know of none which so thoroughly considers its relations to the geographical conditions which exist in the United States, nor which is more complete in its summary of the symptomatology and treatment of this affection. A number of tables, showing the percentage of sugar in a very large number of alcoholic beverages, adds very considerably to the value of the work.—_Medical News._ _REMONDINO_ History of Circumcision. FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE PRESENT. MORAL AND PHYSICAL REASONS FOR ITS PERFORMANCE; WITH A HISTORY OF EUNUCHISM, HERMAPHRODISM, ETC., AND OF THE DIFFERENT OPERATIONS PRACTICED UPON THE PREPUCE. By P. C. REMONDINO, M.D. (Jefferson), Member of the American Medical Association; of the American Public Health Association; Vice-President of California State Medical Society and of Southern California Medical Society, etc. In one neat 12mo volume of 346 pages. Handsomely bound in Extra Dark-Blue Cloth, and illustrated with two fine wood-engravings, showing the two principal modes of Circumcision in ancient times. _No. 11 in the Physicians’ and Students’ Ready-Reference Series._ Price, post-paid, in United States and Canada, $1.25, net; in Great Britain, 6s. 6d.; in France, 7 fr. 75. A Popular Edition (unabridged), bound in Paper Covers, is also issued. Price, 50 Cents, net; in Great Britain, 3s.; in France, 3 fr. 60. Every physician should read this book; he will there find, in a condensed and systematized form, what there is known concerning Circumcision. The book deals with simple facts, and it is not a dissertation on theories. It deals, in plain, pointed language, with the relation that the prepuce bears to physical degeneracy and disease, bases all its utterances on what _has_ occurred and on what _is_ known. The author has here gathered from every source the material for his subject, and the deductions are unmistakable. This is a very full and readable book. To the reader who wishes to know all about the antiquity of the operation, with the views pro and con of the right of this appendage to exist, its advantages, dangers, etc., this is the book.—_The Southern Clinic._ The operative chapter will be particularly useful and interesting to physicians, as it contains a careful and impartial review of all the operative procedures, from the most simple to the most elaborate, paying particular attention to the subject of after-dressings. It is a very interesting and instructive work, and should be read very liberally by the profession.—_The Med. Brief._ The author’s views in regard to circumcision, its necessity, and its results, are well founded, and its performance as a prophylactic measure is well established.—_Columbus Med. Journal._ _By the Same Author_ The Mediterranean Shores of America. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: ITS CLIMATIC, PHYSICAL, AND METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS. By P. C.

Italy, of the Old World, does not excel nor even approach this region in point of salubrity of climate and all-around healthfulness of environment. This book fully describes and discusses this wonderfully charming country. The medical profession, who have long desired a trustworthy treatise of true scientific value on this celebrated region, will find in this volume a satisfactory response to this long-felt and oft-expressed wish. _ROHÉ_ Text-Book of Hygiene. A COMPREHENSIVE TREATISE ON THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF PREVENTIVE MEDICINE FROM AN AMERICAN STAND-POINT. By GEORGE H. ROHÉ, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Hygiene in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Baltimore; Member of the American Public Health Association, etc. Every Sanitarian should have Rohé’s “Text-Book of Hygiene” as a work of reference. Second Edition, thoroughly revised and largely rewritten, with many illustrations and valuable tables. In one handsome Royal Octavo volume of over 400 pages, bound in Extra Cloth. Price, post-paid, in United States, $2.50, net; Canada (duty paid), $2.75, net; Great Britain, 14s.; France, 16 fr. 20. One prominent feature is that there are no superfluous words; every sentence is direct to the point sought. It is, therefore, easy reading, and conveys very much information in little space.—_The Pacific Record of Medicine and Surgery._ It is unquestionably a work that should be in the hands of every physician in the country, and medical students will find it a most excellent and valuable text-book.—_The Southern Practitioner._ The first edition was rapidly exhausted, and the book justly became an authority to physicians and sanitary officers, and a text-book very generally adopted in the colleges throughout America. The second edition is a great improvement over the first, all of the matter being thoroughly revised, much of it being rewritten, and many additions being made. The size of the book is increased one hundred pages. The book has the original recommendation of being a handsomely-bound, clearly-printed octavo volume, profusely illustrated with reliable references for every branch of the subject matter.—_Medical Record._ The wonder is how Professor Rohé has made the book so readable and entertaining with so much matter necessarily condensed. Altogether, the manual is a good exponent of hygiene and sanitary science from the present American stand-point, and will repay with pleasure and profit any time that may be given to its perusal.—_University Medical Magazine._ _By the Same Author_ A Practical Manual of Diseases of the Skin. By GEORGE H. ROHÉ, M.D., Professor of Materia Medica, Therapeutics, and Hygiene, and formerly Professor of Dermatology in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Baltimore, etc., assisted by J. WILLIAMS LORD, A.B., M.D., Lecturer on Dermatology and Bandaging in the College of Physicians and Surgeons; Assistant Physician to the Skin Department in the Dispensary of Johns Hopkins Hospital. In one neat 12mo volume of over 300 pages bound in Extra Dark-Blue Cloth. _No. 13 in the Physicians’ and Students’ Ready-Reference Series._ Price, post-paid, in the United States and Canada, $1.25, net; in Great Britain, 6s. 6d.; in France, 7 fr. 75. The PRACTICAL character of this work makes it specially desirable for the use of students and general practitioners. The nearly one hundred (100) reliable and carefully prepared Formulæ at the end of the volume add not a little to its practical value. All the various forms of skin diseases, from Acne to Zoster (alphabetically speaking), are succinctly yet amply treated of, and the arrangement of the book, with its excellent index and unusually full table of contents, goes to make up a truly satisfactory volume for ready reference in daily practice. _SENN_ Principles of Surgery. By N. SENN, M.D., PH.D., Professor of Practice of Surgery and Clinical Surgery in Rush Medical College, Chicago, Ill.; Professor of Surgery in the Chicago Polyclinic; Attending Surgeon to the Milwaukee Hospital; Consulting Surgeon to the Milwaukee County Hospital and to the Milwaukee County Insane Asylum. This work, by one of America’s greatest surgeons, is thoroughly COMPLETE; its clearness and brevity of statement are among its conspicuous merits. The author’s long, able, and conscientious researches in every direction in this important field are a guarantee, of unusual trustworthiness, that every branch of the subject is treated authoritatively, and in such a manner as to bring the greatest gain in knowledge to the practitioner and student.

The work seems to me to meet this want admirably.” FRANK J. LUTZ, M.D., St. Louis, Mo., says: “It seems incredible that those who pretend to teach have done without such a guide before, and I do not understand how our students succeeded in mastering the principles of modern surgery by attempting to read our obsolete text-books. American surgery should feel proud of the production, and the present generation of surgeons owe you a debt of gratitude.” The work is systematic and compact, without a fact omitted or a sentence too much, and it not only makes instructive but fascinating reading. A conspicuous merit of Senn’s work is his method, his persistent and tireless search through original investigations for additions to knowledge, and the practical character of his discoveries.—_The Review of Insanity and Nervous Diseases._ After perusing this work on several different occasions, we have come to the conclusion that it is a remarkable work, by a man of unusual ability.—_The Canada Medical Record._ The work is exceedingly practical, as the chapters on the treatment of the various conditions considered are based on sound deductions, are complete, and easily carried out by any painstaking surgeon.—_Medical Record._ The book throughout is worthy of the highest praise. It should be adopted as a text-book in all of our schools.—_University Medical Magazine._ _By the Same Author_ Tuberculosis of the Bones and Joints. By N. SENN, M.D., PH.D.

Tuberculosis of Joints of Upper Extremity. Tuberculosis of Hip-Joint. Tuberculosis of Knee-Joint. Tuberculosis of Ankle-Joint and Tarsus. All these subjects are handled in the author’s simple, direct, and vigorous style, and always with the practical side of the question kept in view, and leave nothing necessary or desirable untouched. We know of no book of equal learning, thoroughness, and utility upon the common and important class of cases composed under Tuberculosis of Bones and Joints. The illustrations are numerous and good, and the printing and other details of issuing a book have been attended to with an enterprise and ambition creditable to the publishers.—_Cleveland Medical Gazette._ _SHOEMAKER_ Materia Medica and Therapeutics. WITH ESPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE CLINICAL APPLICATION OF DRUGS. By JOHN V. SHOEMAKER, A.M., M.D., Professor of Materia Medica, Pharmacology, Therapeutics, and Clinical Medicine, and Clinical Professor of Diseases of the Skin in the Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia; Physician to the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital; Member of the American Medical Association, of the Pennsylvania and Minnesota State Medical Societies, the American Academy of Medicine, the British Medical Association; Fellow of the Medical Society of London, etc. Second Edition. Thoroughly revised. In two volumes. Royal Octavo. Nearly 1100 pages. Volume I is devoted to pharmacy, general pharmacology, and therapeutics, and remedial agents not properly classed with drugs. Volume II is wholly taken up with the consideration of drugs, each remedy being studied from three points of view, viz.: the Preparations, or Materia Medica; the Physiology and Toxicology, or Pharmacology; and, lastly, its Therapy. Each volume is thoroughly and carefully indexed with clinical and general indexes, and the second volume contains a most valuable and exhaustive table of doses extending over several double-column octavo pages.

REVIEWS OF THE FIRST EDITION. The value of the book lies in the fact that it contains all that is authentic and trustworthy about the host of new remedies which have deluged us in the last five years. The pages are remarkably free from useless information. The author has done well in following the alphabetical order.—_N. Y. Med. Record._ In perusing the pages devoted to the special consideration of drugs, their pharmacology, physiological action, toxic action, and therapy, one is constantly surprised at the amount of material compressed in so limited a space. The book will prove a valuable addition to the physician’s library.—_Occidental Med. Times._ It is a meritorious work, with many unique features. It is richly illustrated by well-tried prescriptions showing the practical application of the various drugs discussed. In short, this work makes a pretty complete encyclopædia of the science of therapeutics, conveniently arranged for handy reference.—_Med. World._ _SHOEMAKER_ Heredity, Health, and Personal Beauty. INCLUDING THE SELECTION OF THE BEST COSMETICS FOR THE SKIN, HAIR, NAILS, AND ALL PARTS RELATING TO THE BODY. By JOHN V. SHOEMAKER, A.M., M.D., Professor of Materia Medica, Pharmacology, Therapeutics, and Clinical Medicine, and Clinical Professor of Diseases of the Skin in the Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia; Physician to the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital, etc., etc. The health of the skin and hair, and how to promote them, are discussed; the treatment of the nails; the subjects of ventilation, food, clothing, warmth, bathing; the circulation of the blood, digestion, ventilation; in fact, all that in daily life conduces to the well-being of the body and refinement is duly enlarged upon. To these stores of popular information is added a list of the best medicated soaps and toilet soaps, and a whole chapter of the work is devoted to household remedies. The work is largely suggestive, and gives wise and timely advice as to when a physician should be consulted. _This is just the book to place on the waiting-room table of every physician, and a work that will prove useful in the hands of your patients._ Complete in one handsome Royal Octavo volume of 425 pages, beautifully and clearly printed, and bound in Extra Cloth, Beveled Edges, with side and back gilt stamps and in Half-Morocco Gilt Top.

Cloth. 15 fr.; Half-Morocco, 22 fr. The book reads not like the fulfillment of a task, but like the researches and observations of one thoroughly in love with his subject, fully appreciating its importance, and writing for the pleasure he experiences in it. The work is very comprehensive and complete in its scope.—_Medical World._ The book before us is a most remarkable production and a most entertaining one. The book is equally well adapted for the laity or the profession. It tells us how to be healthy, happy, and as beautiful as possible. We can’t review this book; it is different from anything we have ever read. It runs like a novel, and will be perused until finished with pleasure and profit. Buy it, read it, and be surprised, pleased, and improved.—_The Southern Clinic._ This book is written primarily for the laity, but will prove of interest to the physician as well. Though the author goes to some extent into technicalities, he confines himself to the use of good, plain English, and in that respect sets a notable example to many other writers on similar subjects. Furthermore, the book is written from a thoroughly American stand-point.—_Medical Record._ This is an exceedingly interesting book, both scientific and practical in character, intended for both professional and lay readers. The book is well written and presented in admirable form by the publisher.—_Canadian Practitioner._ _SHOEMAKER_ Ointments and Oleates: Especially in Diseases of the Skin. By JOHN V. SHOEMAKER, A.M., M.D., Professor of Materia Medica, Pharmacology, Therapeutics, and Clinical Medicine, and Clinical Professor of Diseases of the Skin in the Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia, etc., etc. The author concisely concludes his preface as follows: “The reader may thus obtain a conspectus of the whole subject of inunction as it exists to-day in the civilized world. In all cases the mode of preparation is given, and the therapeutical application described seriatim, in so far as may be done without needless repetition.” SECOND EDITION, revised and enlarged. 298 pages. 12mo. Neatly bound in Dark-Blue Cloth. _No. 6 in the Physicians’ and Students’ Ready-Reference Series._ Price, post-paid, in the United States and Canada, $1.50, net; in Great Britain, 8s. 6d.; in France, 9 fr. 35. It is invaluable as a ready reference when ointments or oleates are to be used, and is serviceable to both druggist and physician.—_Canada Medical Record._ To the physician who feels uncertain as to the best form in which to prescribe medicines by way of the skin the book will prove valuable, owing to the many prescriptions and formulæ which dot its pages, while the copious index at the back materially aids in making the book a useful one.—_Medical News._ _SMITH_ Physiology of the Domestic Animals. A TEXT-BOOK FOR VETERINARY AND MEDICAL STUDENTS AND PRACTITIONERS. By ROBERT MEADE SMITH, A.M., M.D., Professor of Comparative Physiology in University of Pennsylvania; Fellow of the College of Physicians and Academy of the Natural Sciences, Philadelphia; of American Physiological Society; of the American Society of Naturalists, etc. This new and important work, the most thoroughly complete in the English language on this subject, treats of the physiology of the domestic animals in a most comprehensive manner, especial prominence being given to the subject of foods and fodders, and the character of the diet for the herbivora under different conditions, with a full consideration of their digestive peculiarities. Without being overburdened with details, it forms a complete text-book of physiology adapted to the use of students and practitioners of both veterinary and human medicine. This work has already been adopted as the Text-Book on Physiology in the Veterinary Colleges of the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. In one Handsome Royal Octavo Volume of over 950 pages, profusely illustrated with more than 400 Fine Wood-Engravings and many Colored Plates. United Canada Great States. (duty paid) Britain. France.

LIAUTARD, M.D., H.F.R.C., V.S., Professor of Anatomy, Operative Surgery, and Sanitary Medicine in the American Veterinary College, New York, writes:—“I have examined the work of Dr. R. M. Smith on the ‘Physiology of the Domestic Animals,’ and consider it one of the best additions to veterinary literature that we have had for some time.” E. M. READING, A.M., M.D., Professor of Physiology in the Chicago Veterinary College, writes:—“I have carefully examined the ‘Smith’s Physiology,’ published by you, and like it. It is comprehensive, exhaustive, and complete, and is especially adapted to those who desire to obtain a full knowledge of the principles of physiology, and are not satisfied with a mere smattering of the cardinal points.” Dr. Smith’s presentment of his subject is as brief as the status of the science permits, and to this much-desired conciseness he has added an equally welcome clearness of statement. The illustrations in the work are exceedingly good, and must prove a valuable aid to the full understanding of the text—_Journal of Comparative Medicine and Surgery._ Veterinary practitioners and graduates will read it with pleasure. Veterinary students will readily acquire needed knowledge from its pages, and veterinary schools, which would be well equipped for the work they aim to perform, cannot ignore it as their text-book in physiology.—_American Veterinary Review._ Altogether, Professor Smith’s “Physiology of the Domestic Animals” is a happy production, and will be hailed with delight in both the human medical and veterinary medical worlds. It should find its place, besides, in all agricultural libraries.—PAUL PAQUIN, M.D., V.S., in the _Weekly Medical Review_. 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 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.—_London Lancet._ _SOZINSKEY_ Medical Symbolism. Historical Studies in the Arts of Healing and Hygiene. By THOMAS S. SOZINSKEY, M.D., Ph.D., Author of “The Culture of Beauty,” “The Care and Culture of Children,” etc. 12mo. Nearly 200 pages. Neatly bound in Dark-Blue Cloth. Appropriately illustrated with upward of thirty (30) new Wood-Engravings. _No. 9 in the Physicians’ and Students’ Ready-Reference Series._ Price, post-paid, in United States and Canada, $1.00, net; Great Britain, 6s.; France, 6 fr. 20. He who has not time to more fully study the more extended records of the past, will highly prize this little book. Its interesting discourse upon the past is full of suggestive thought.—_American Lancet._ Like an oasis in a dry and dusty desert of medical literature, through which we wearily stagger, is this work devoted to medical symbolism and mythology. As the author aptly quotes: “What some light braines may esteem as foolish toyes, deeper judgments can and will value as sound and serious matter.”—_Canadian Practitioner._ In the volume before us we have an admirable and successful attempt to set forth in order those medical symbols which have come down to us, and to explain on historical grounds their significance. An astonishing amount of information is contained within the covers of the book, and every page of the work bears token of the painstaking genius and erudite mind of the now unhappily deceased author.—_London Lancet._ _STEWART_ Obstetric Synopsis. By JOHN S. STEWART, M.D., formerly Demonstrator of Obstetrics and Chief Assistant in the Gynæcological Clinic of the Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia: with an introductory note by WILLIAM S. STEWART, A.M., M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Gynæcology in the Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia. By students this work will be found particularly useful. It is based upon the teachings of such well-known authors as Playfair, Parvin, Lusk, Galabin, and Cazeaux and Tarnier, and contains much new and important matter of great value to both student and practitioner. With 42 Illustrations. 202 pages. 12mo.

DELASKIE MILLER, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics, Rush Medical College, Chicago, Ill., says:—“I have examined the ‘Obstetric Synopsis,’ by John S. Stewart, M.D., and it gives me pleasure to characterize the work as systematic, concise, perspicuous, and authentic. Among manuals it is one of the best.” It is well written, excellently illustrated, and fully up to date in every respect. Here we find all the essentials of Obstetrics in a nutshell, Anatomy, Embryology, Physiology, Pregnancy, Labor, Puerperal State, and Obstetric Operations all being carefully and accurately described.—_Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal._ It is clear and concise. The chapter on the development of the ovum is especially satisfactory. The judicious use of bold-faced type for headings and italics for important statements gives the book a pleasing typographical appearance.—_Medical Record._ This volume is done with a masterly hand. The scheme is an excellent one. The whole is freely and most admirably illustrated with well-drawn, new engravings, and the book is of a very convenient size.—_St. Louis Medical and Surgical Journal._ _ULTZMANN_ The Neuroses of the Genito-Urinary System in the Male. WITH STERILITY AND IMPOTENCE. By DR. R. ULTZMANN, Professor of Genito-Urinary Diseases in the University of Vienna. Translated, with the author’s permission, by GARDNER W. ALLEN, M.D., Surgeon in the Genito-Urinary Department, Boston Dispensary. 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 has approached the subject from a somewhat different point of view from most surgeons, and this gives 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. Chemical Changes in the Urine in Cases of Neuroses. II. Neuroses of the Urinary and of the Sexual Organs, classified as: (1) Sensory Neuroses; (2) Motor Neuroses; (3) Secretory Neuroses. Second Part—Sterility and Impotence. The treatment in all cases is described clearly and minutely. Illustrated. 12mo. Handsomely bound in Dark-Blue Cloth. _No. 4 in the Physicians’ and Students’ Ready-Reference Series._ Price, post-paid, in the United States and Canada, $1.00, net; in Great Britain, 6s.; in France, 6 fr. 20. This book is to be highly recommended, owing to its clearness and brevity. Altogether, we do not know of any book of the same size which contains so much useful information in such a short space.—_Medical News._ Its scope is large, not being confined to the one condition,—neurasthenia,—but embracing all of the neuroses, motor and sensory, of the genito-urinary organs in the male. No one who has read after Dr. Ultzmann need be reminded of his delightful manner of presenting his thoughts, which ever sparkle with originality and appositeness.—_Weekly Med. Review._ It engenders sound pathological teaching, and will aid in no small degree in throwing light on the management of many of the difficult and more refractory cases of the classes to which these essays especially refer.—_The Medical Age._ _VOUGHT_ A Chapter on Cholera for Lay Readers. HISTORY, SYMPTOMS, PREVENTION, AND TREATMENT OF THE DISEASE. By WALTER VOUGHT, Ph.B., M D., Medical Director and Physician-in-Charge of the Fire Island Quarantine Station, Port of New York; Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, etc. Illustrated. 12mo. 106 pages. Flexible Cloth. Price, post-paid, in the United States and Canada, 75 cents, net; Great Britain, 4s.; France, 5 fr. By complying with and conforming to (and this is perfectly practicable) the instructions so clearly, fully, and yet briefly given in this little volume, absolute security against the disease is assured. It is written by so experienced and competent an authority—one who has had actual hand-to-hand conflict with an extensive epidemic—and in such a clear, succinct style, as to be easily comprehended and made available by every individual and household. The following CONDENSED TABLE OF CONTENTS shows the scope and completeness of the work: Definition; History of Cholera; Cholera in America; Causes of the Disease; The Disease in Human Beings; The Germ in the Body; The Disease in Epidemic Form; Symptoms; The Diagnosis of the Disease; Prognosis; Treatment; Prevention; Method of Handling an Outbreak of Cholera on Shipboard; Quarantine; Disinfection. A very thorough and conveniently arranged index adds greatly to the practical usefulness of the book. _WITHERSTINE_ The International Pocket Medical Formulary ARRANGED THERAPEUTICALLY. By C. SUMNER WITHERSTINE, M.S., M.D., Associate Editor of the “Annual of the Universal Medical Sciences”; Visiting Physician of the Home for the Aged, Germantown, Philadelphia; Late House-Surgeon Charity Hospital, New York. More than 1800 formulæ from several hundred well-known authorities. With an Appendix containing a Posological Table, the newer remedies included; Important Incompatibles; Tables on Dentition and the Pulse; Table of Drops in a Fluidrachm and Doses of Laudanum graduated for age; Formulæ and Doses of Hypodermatic Medication, including the newer remedies; Uses of the Hypodermatic Syringe; Formulæ and Doses for Inhalations, Nasal Douches, Gargles, and Eye-Washes; Formulæ for Suppositories; Use of the Thermometer in Disease; Poisons, Antidotes and Treatment; Directions for Post-Mortem and Medico-Legal Examinations; Treatment of Asphyxia, Sun-stroke, etc.; Antiemetic Remedies and Disinfectants; Obstetrical Table; Directions for Ligations of Arteries; Urinary Analysis; Table of Eruptive Fevers; Motor Points for Electrical Treatment, etc. This work, the best and most complete of its kind, contains about 275 printed pages, besides extra blank leaves judiciously distributed throughout the book, affording a place to record and index favorite formulæ. Elegantly printed, with red lines, edges, and borders; with illustrations. Bound in leather, with side-flap. The alphabetical arrangement of the diseases and a thumb-letter index render reference rapid and easy. As a _student_, the physician needs it for study, collateral reading, and, for recording the favorite prescriptions of his professors, in lecture and clinic; as a _recent graduate_, he needs it as a reference hand-book for daily use in prescribing; as an _old practitioner_, he needs it to refresh his memory on old remedies and combinations, and for information concerning newer remedies and more modern approved plans of treatment.

BEING A COMPLETE COMPEND OF ANATOMY, INCLUDING THE ANATOMY OF THE VISCERA, AND NUMEROUS TABLES. By JAMES K. YOUNG, M.D., Instructor in Orthopædic Surgery and Assistant Demonstrator of Surgery, University of Pennsylvania; Attending Orthopædic Surgeon, Out-Patient Department, University Hospital, etc. While the author has prepared this work especially for students, sufficient descriptive 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 Apparatus, 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 important subject. The section on the teeth has also been especially prepared to meet the requirements of students of dentistry. Illustrated with 76 Wood-Engravings. 390 pages. 12mo. Bound in Extra Dark-Blue Cloth. _No. 3 in the Physicians’ and Students’ Ready-Reference Series._ Price, post-paid, in the United States and Canada, $1.40, net; in Great Britain, 8s. 6d; in France, 9 fr. 25. 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._ As a companion to the dissecting table, and a convenient reference for the practitioner, it has a definite field of usefulness.—_Pittsburgh Medical Review._ The book is much more satisfactory than the “remembrances” in vogue, and yet is not too cumbersome to be carried around and read at odd moments—a property which the student will readily appreciate.—_Weekly Medical Review._ The Universal Medical Journal (_Formerly THE SATELLITE_).

HOWE ADAMS, M.D. This fascinating life history of one of the world’s greatest surgeons is _now ready_. Dr. J. Howe Adams, the author, has been for many years a member of Dr. Agnew’s family, has had the valuable aid of Mrs. Agnew, and also access to documents and papers of unusual value and interest that would have been denied to most writers; so that the biography here presented is written, as it were, from the inside, and thus made doubly interesting and valuable as the narrative of the career of an eminent physician, surgeon, and benefactor of mankind.

FROM THE STAND-POINT OF CEREBRAL AND SPINAL LOCALIZATION, AND THE LATER METHODS EMPLOYED IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF THESE AFFECTIONS. By AMBROSE L. RANNEY, A.M., M.D., Professor of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Nervous System in the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital; Professor of Nervous and Mental Diseases in the Medical Department of the University of Vermont, etc.; Author of “The Applied Anatomy of the Nervous System,” “Practical Medical Anatomy,” etc., etc. 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. Profusely illustrated with original diagrams and sketches in color by the author, carefully selected wood-engravings, and reproduced photographs of typical cases. One handsome royal octavo volume of 780 pages. SOLD ONLY BY SUBSCRIPTION, OR SENT DIRECT ON RECEIPT OF PRICE, SHIPPING EXPENSES PREPAID.

We are glad to note that Dr. Ranney has published in book form his admirable lectures on nervous diseases. His book contains over seven hundred large pages, and is profusely illustrated with original diagrams and sketches in colors, and with many carefully selected wood-cuts and reproduced photographs of typical cases. A large amount of valuable information, not a little of which has but recently appeared in medical literature, is presented in compact 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 profession, 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._ STANTON’S Practical and Scientific Physiognomy; OR How to Read Faces. By MARY OLMSTED STANTON. Copiously illustrated. Two large Royal Octavo volumes. 1220 pages. The author, MRS. MARY O. STANTON, has given over twenty years to the preparation of this work. Her style is easy, and, by her happy method of illustration of every point, the book reads like a novel and memorizes itself. To physicians the diagnostic information conveyed is invaluable. To the general reader each page opens a new train of ideas. (This book has no reference whatever to phrenology.)
