Member of the Royal College of Physicians; Physician to the Queen's Hospital, ELEMENTS OF PRACTICAL MEDICINE. HENEAGE GIBBES, M.B. PRACTICAL HISTOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY. "The chapters on staining are especially full, and in no other work with which we are acquainted will the reader find such ample information upon this important part of the preparation of the tissues for the microscope. This little work contains no padding: it consists entirely of precise instructions by one who is evidently master of the subject, and we know no work which we can more highly recommend to either student or practitioner." -Practitioner, Dec. 1880. "This is a small book written by a practical man, evidently well acquainted with his subject, and will be found of real service to those who wish to learn how to prepare good preparations for microscopical examination...... The chapter on staining is in some respects the most valuable, for Dr. Gibbes has made this subject a special study, and has obtained new and excellent results from using two and even three dyes at once; the methods by which others may be as successful are plainly given."-Lancet, Nov. 13th, 1880. SAMUEL W. GROSS, A.M., M.D. Surgeon to, and Lecturer on Clinical Surgery in, the Jefferson Medical College Hospital, and the Philadelphia Hospital, &c. A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON TUMOURS OF THE MAMMARY GLAND: embracing their Histology, Pathology, Diagnosis, and Treatment. With Illustrations, 8vo, 10s. 6d. "We cannot here notice seriatim the many interesting facts brought out by Dr. Gross, but must content ourselves with indicating some of the main points in which his views differ from those commonly held in this country...... These views, we think, will meet with general adoption, as more in accord with our present knowledge than others formerly promulgated......The part of the work that deals with the clinical features of the different classes of tumours is well done and very valuable...... The work opportunely supplies a real want, and is the result of accurate work, and we heartily recommend it to our readers as well worthy of careful study.-Lancet, Nov. 27th, 1880. "We know no book in the English language which attempts to cover the ground covered by this one-indeed, the author seems to be the first who has sought to handle the whole subject of mammary tumours in one systematic treatise.-New York Medical Journal, Oct. 1880. "The book shows throughout evidence of good and careful work, and will be read with pleasure and advantage by all who consult it."-Obstetrical Journal,Dec. 15th, 1880. DR. FELIX von NIEMEYER.

HUMPHREY, M.D., and CHARLES E. HACKLEY, M.D., Revised Edition, 2 vols., large 8vo, 36s. In bringing out a new edition of this well-known work, advantage has been taken of thoroughly revising it from the latest German edition, and making such additions as to bring it fully up to the present state of medical science, short articles have been inserted upon Chronic Poisoning by Alcohol and Morphine, as well as upon Wandering Spleen, Paralysis Agitans, Scleroderma, Elephantiasis Græcorum, Progressive Pernicious Anæmia, and Yellow Fever. "Is well translated, and retains all the characteristics of clearness and scientific breadth of principle which has made it a favourite text-book for many years. The new edition is well brought up to date."-Brit. Med. Jour., Dec. 11, 1880. "For a work which is both pleasant in the reading and valuable for its suggestiveness, the text-book of Professor Niemeyer takes the front rank. Certainly no candidate for the higher examinations should fail to read this book, and to carefully study it, for although in some sections it hardly comes up to the standard of some English authorities, yet, as a whole, there is no work like it."-Lancet, Sept. 13, 1879. "The task of a reviewer is an easy and glorious one in noticing such a work as this It is at once comprehensive and concise; it is characterised by clearness and originality and it differs from many German works on Medicine in the sagacious appreciation of the value of therapeutics which is manifested by the author......We can cordially recommend the work as one from the perusal of which every physician may derive profit, which will be found replete with information of direct practical value, and which is instinct with a spirit of candid and earnest enquiry, which is worthy of all praise. The translation on the whole, is very creditably performed, and the volumes are handsomely brought out."-Dublin Quarterly Jour. of Med. Science. ROBERTS BARTHOLOW, M.A., M.d., ll.d.

With Illustrations, large 8vo, 21s. "It is concise, but is thoroughly up to date, and his references to recent pathological and therapeutical work are numerous......Space will not permit of further analysis of this latest text-book on medicine, which has many good features, not the least of which is the lack of pretentiousness about it, and the general accuracy of its statements."-Lancet, Jan. 8, 1881. "The work is of a thoroughly practical character......In perusing the work, the reader cannot fail to be struck with the appreciation on the part of the author of the wants of the practitioner......it may be considered a thoroughly useful, trustworthy, and practical guide for the general practitioner."-New York Medical Record, Oct. 30th, 1880.

Bears evidence of having been written by a master of his subject practically acquainted both with the physiological action of drugs as observed by experiment, and their therapeutical uses as shown by clinical experience."-Practitioner, Jan. 1879. "A really valuable work. In it the reader will always find full and accurate information."-Dublin Journal of Medical Science. "It represents extensive reading in American, English, and Continental literature, and this not unduly paraded nor drily quoted, but well digested and condensed; it contains also much original work and observation....At the same time it is throughout very practical, including in its text an unusual number of useful formulæ and ingenious suggestions....a really valuable addition to modern literature."-British Medical Journal.

DR. THEODOR BILLROTH. GENERAL SURGICAL PATHOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS. In Fifty-one Lectures. A Text-book for Students and Physicians.

HACKLEY, A.M., M.D. Copiously illustrated, 8vo, 18s. *This edition contains seventy-four additional pages, with a number of new woodcuts. "Prof. Billroth has long been recognised as one of the most scientific of living surgeons, his lectures forming the most popular text-books of surgery in the German language... The want of a book in the English language presenting in a concise form the views of the German pathologists has been long felt, and we venture to say that no book could more perfectly supply that want than the present volume......this work will be most welcome in this country as supplying a want which must have been felt by all real students of surgery."-Lancet.

"The reputation of this watering-place for the cure of chronic gout is considerable, and those who intend visiting it should furnish themselves with Dr. Brandt's little book, which contains all necessary information."-Lancet, June 5th, 1880. "This handy little book gives a concise and useful account of the therapeutical action of the mineral springs at Royat. Dr. Brandt, who has made a special study of these waters, states that they are specially valuable in gout, and in some cases of anæmia, chlorosis, and dyspepsia...... We can recommend Dr. Brandt's work to those who wish for information on the waters of Royat."-London Medical Record, July 15, 1880.

Illustrated by numerous Engravings, large 8vo, 9s. "In this little work of less than 250 pages modestly entitled Contributions to Reparative Surgery, the distinguished author has briefly yet clearly laid down certain rules for the guidance of the Surgeon in the preparation of parts, the closure of gaps, and modelling of flaps, the due observance of which cannot but be followed by gratifying results." American Jour. of Med. Science. J. B. BUDGETT, L.R.C.P. EDIN. THE HYGIENE OF SCHOOLS; Or Education Physically and Mentally Considered. Crown 8vo, 2s. "It is most important that all engaged in teaching should thoroughly understand, not only the mere mental training of chilaren, but also the great questions of food, exercise, recreation, as well as the essential elements of air, light, heat and ventilation. All these matters are ably and lucidly set forth in Dr. Budgett's treatise, which we strongly recommend to the attention of school-board teachers and parents."-Public Health. LEPROUS 7s. 6d. DR. O.

"It is, beyond question, the most complete and accurate book on the subject in any language, and one which ought to be in the hands of every one who has much to do with syphilitic diseases."-Medical Times, Dec. 11th 1880. "Bumstead's work is already classic and hardly requires reviewing. This edition is well up to date, and everywhere bears marks of careful and erudite preparation..... Must take first rank among the works in the English language on venereal diseases."-Lancet, July 31st, 1880. "An air of completeness-of having had garnered into its pages all the best fruit of the world's experience and research upon the subject of which it treats -has been given to the book, without in any way detracting from the peculiarly practical value of previous editions. None the less clinical, the treatise seems much more cosmopolitan. The possession of old editions will be no excuse to the progressive physician for not purchasing this edition, and we predict for it a very speedy sale. We congratulate Dr. Bumstead on the wisdom which led to the selection of Dr. Taylor as colleague, and we sincerely congratulate the two co-workers upon the results of their labour."-Philadelphia Medical Times, Dec. 6, 1879.

Cazeaux's book is the most complete we have ever seen upon the subject."-N.A. Med. Chir. Review.
