The descriptions of disease which it contains are made unusually clear and interesting, so that to read it is a pleasure instead of a labour.

"Contains a great variety of interesting information relating not merely to food but also to many subjects of great hygienic importance. We can cordially recommend this little work."-Dublin Jour. of Med. Science. II. AFFECTIONS OF THE HEART AND IN ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD. Cases, Aphorisms, and Commentaries.

We heartily commend the present volume as full of clinical significance."-Medical Press and Circular. The "Dr. Dobell is one of the most hardworking members of the profession, and his work generally lies in the direction of practical clinics and therapeutics.....A good point in the present treatise is the way in which cases are set forth as the basis of the whole book, and the points which arise out of these are argued out and illustrated by the author. author also undertakes the risk of expressing his clinical experience, in the form of aphorisms, and many of these aphorisms are valuable, as forcible embodiments of useful hints and cautions."-Westminster Review. JOHN EAGLE. Member of the Pharmaceutical Society. A NOTE-BOOK OF SOLUBILITIES. Arranged chiefly for the use of Prescribers and Dispensers. 12mo, 2s. 6d. This Note-book is intended to serve as a handy guide to the solubilities of the more common chemical preparations used by Medical Men and Pharmaceutists. "A handy little volume of this kind was much wanted. Prescribers often feel at a loss as to the best menstruum for dissolving some of the less familiar drugs, and will be glad to have this little work by them to refer to when in doubt and difficulty. Patients, too, will feel grateful, we are sure, if prescribers will make use of it, for it often happens that they have to swallow a very nauseous dose, from want of consideration by their physician in this matter. The contents are well arranged for reference, and the book is well printed and neatly got up."-Lancet, March 13th, 1880. JOHN ERIC ERICHSEN.

MODEL DIAGRAM OF THE ORGANS IN THE With THORAX AND UPPER PART OF THE ABDOMEN. "Dr. Ferber's Model Diagram of the Organs in the Thorax and Upper part of ths Abdomen is a very ingenious and well constructed Model of the kind which the Germancalled situs phantom, showing the relative position and aspect of the organs from the sure face as they lie in layers and are exposed by successive dissections. The lifting up of successive layers of the phantom exposes them in the same order, extent, and manner as they are seen in a well-conducted post-mortem examination; and his model diagram will be of great use to students and practitioners in enabling them to realise the precise Medical Anatomy of this important region."-Brit.

TEXT-BOOK OF HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY; De signed for the Use of Practitioners and Students of Medicine. Illustrated by plates, and 313 wood engravings, large 8vo, 28s. "It has two merits we particularly desire to allude to. First, it contains excellent historical accounts of some of the principal discoveries in physiology, such as the circulation of the blood, the functions of the lymphatics, the glycogenic functions of the liver, the functions of the various parts of the spinal cord, &c., &c.; and, second, it gives a more complete description of the physiological anatomy and functions of the cranial nerves than is to be met with in any other text-book of physiology.... We can strongly recommend it to the profession more especially to those interested in diseases of the nervous system, who attempt to unravel the symptoms of a "nervous" case by the application of knowledge regarding the physiclogical connection of nerves with the centres, and anastomoses among themselves."-Edin. Med. Jour. "Taken as a whole Dr. Flint's work is an extremely valuable one. Accurate, full without being discursive, well balanced in the space devoted to each subject, clearly and intelligently written, it contains all that the ordinary student need know".-Lancet. II.

"The complete work will prove a valuable addition to our systematic treatises on human physiology.-Lancet. "From the extent of the author's investigations into the best theory and practice of the present day, the world over, and the candor and good judgment which he brings to bear upon the discussion of each subject, we are justified in regarding his treatises as standard and authoritative, so far as in this disputed subject authority is admissible."-New York Times.

Second Edition, entirely re-written, copiously illustrated with woodcuts and lithographic plates. 8vo. 16s. "We commend his book to practitioners of medicine, who will find the great facts of heart disease and its treatment discussed in a way that will deeply interest them."-Lancet, Jan. 3rd, 1880. "To many an earnest student it will prove a light in darkness; to many a practitioner cast down with a sense of his powerlessness to cope with the rout and demoralization of Nature's forces, a present help in time of trouble."-Philadelphia Medical Times. "Its leading feature is, its thoroughly interesting style. From beginning to end it is neither dull nor insipid; whilst throughout its entire length certain grand principles are kept steadily before the mind of the reader. The most interesting chapter to us, and one which bears abundant testimony to the ample grasp which Dr. Fothergill has of his subject, is the chapter on treatment of diseases of the heart. . . . . It was by his treatment of diseases of the heart that Dr. Fothergill's name first became known; and the chapter is worthy of the reputation which he then gained and to which he has steadily added. . . . Dr. Fothergill's book will be widely read and as widely appreciated."-Practitioner, March, 1880. ERNEST FRANCIS, F.C.S. Demonstrator of Practical Chemistry, Charing Cross Hospital.

"It contains a large amount of information bearing upon mechanical dentistry and th surgery of the jaws, which, previous to the appearance of this book, could only be obtained by searching through various works, some of which are little likely to form part of the library of the busy practitioner. The book is one which we can confidently recommend both to the advanced student and the busy practitioner."-British Journal Dental Science, Sept., 1880. "The whole subject is so thoroughly studied that nothing is left to be desired by any surgeon who wishes to treat these fractures intelligently and successfully. The work as a whole, bears marks of originality in every section, and impresses the reader with the painstaking efforts of the author to get at the truth, and apply it in an ingenious and practical way to the wants of the general practitioner, the surgeon, and the dentist."-New York Medical Record.
