recall cases where the local trouble was caused by some systemic disturbances, and cases where trouble in the eye caused marked constitutionaĮ disturbance. Now, any book that looks to diseases of the eye that arise from, or are aggravated by, some cause lying beyond the special region, will be found essential to one's success in his specialty. This is the general purpose of the author. The general practitioner being made familiar with ophthalmic diseases arising from causes lying in some other part of the body, will oftentimes be able to cure the eye by constitutional or other local treatment. Throughout the book the alliances between the eye and the rest of the body are so admirably traced that it will be hard to decide upon whom the larger debt of obligation to the painstaking author will rest, whether upon the general physician or upon the ophthalmologist.

THE CARE OF THE BABY; By I. P. Crozer Griffith, M. D., Philadelphia, Penn. W. B. Saunders, Philadelphia, 8 mo, linen covered boards and back, 377 pages. Price, $1.50.

This beautiful book is a manual for mothers and nurses, and contains practical directions for the management of infancy and childhood in health and in disease. The headlines of some chapters will give an idea of the character of the work. They are: Before the Baby Comes, The Baby, The Baby's Growth, The Baby's Toilet, Feeding the Baby, Sleep, Exercise and Training, The Baby's Rooms, etc., etc. The subject matter is well arranged and there are numerous illustrations. At the back of the book is a well prepared directory. The character of the entire work is such that physicians can recommend it to their patients who have children of tender age. D. M.

New Catalogue.-The new catalogue of the Chloride of Silver Dry Cell Battery Co., of Baltimore, Maryland, is now ready for distribution, and we advise our readers to send four cents in stamps to that company and secure a copy of same, for several new styles have been added to their list, and valuable improvements made on most of the others. The high reputation which the Chloride of Silver batteries have gained is due to their many points of excellence, such as absolute cleanliness, durability, constancy, and the fact that they are dry, small and light. They certainly are the ideal portable battery for the medical practitioner. The Company manufacturing them also takes great pride in their appearance, and spare no toouble or expense in making every instrument they send out a finished article, of which any physician may well feel proud to become the possessor. Large shipments of these batteries have been made during the past year to New Zealand, Australia, Batavia and the British East Indies, where their merits will no doubt be as fully appreciated as they have been by the American physicians.

M. Sig:-Antiseptic powder. A fifth of a grain of corrosive sublimate in this mixture gives a powder of the strength of 1 to 5,000. and a third of a grain, 1 to 3,000. In preparing this powder care must be taken by the druggist to mix the sublimate very gradually and thoronghly with the sugar of milk, and then to add gradualiy the other ingredients, so as to be certain to obtain a uniform distribution of the bichloride in the mixture.

Summrry.

Produces leucocytosis as soon as taken into the organism.

The normal Tissue-builder and antitoxic principle of the animal organism, obtained from the lymphoid structures of the body by direct mechanical and physiological processes. All other methods of isolating nucleins, by the use of chemicals, destroy their physiological and proliferating functions.

The power of Protonuclein to support the organism and resist toxic germs seems unlimited. This has been proven by most careful experiments made under the direction of the highest authorities in the Hospitals of New York and other parts of the country.

Preparations of nuclein made from plant life are not directly assimilable in the organism.

THERAPEUTIC USES OF PROTONUCLEIN

Protonuclein is indicated in all conditions where there are toxic germs to be destroyed and where the organism is below the normal physiological standard. It rapidly restores the vitality of all the tissues by stimulating and supporting assimilative nutrition.

Important Note.— If given in time it will act as a reliable prezentive or prophylactic, protecting those exposed to contagion or infection, or greatly modify the virulence of the disease if attacked.
