STONEY, Graduate of the Training-School for Nurses, Lawrence, Mass.; Superintendent of the Training-School for Nurses, Carney Hospital, South Boston, Mass. 456 pages, handsomely illustrated with 73 engravings in the text, and 9 colored and half-tone plates. Cloth. Price, $1.75 net. SECOND EDITION, THOROUGHLY REVISED. In this volume the author explains, in popular language and in the shortest possible form, the entire range of private nursing as distinguished from hospital nursing, and the nurse is instructed how best to meet the various emergencies of medical and surgical cases when distant from medical or surgical aid or when thrown on her own resources. An especially valuable feature of the work will be found in the directions to the nurse how to improvise everything ordinarily needed in the sick-room, where the embarrassment of the nurse, owing to the want of proper appliances, is frequently extreme. The work has been logically divided into the following sections: I. The Nurse: her responsibilities, qualifications, equipment, etc. II. The Patient: duties of the nurse in medical, surgical, obstetric, and gynecologic cases. IV. Nursing in Accidents and Emergencies. V. Nursing in Special Medical Cases. VI. Nursing of the New-born and Sick Children. VII. Physiology and Descriptive Anatomy. The APPENDIX contains much information in compact form that will be four.d of great value to the nurse, including Rules for Feeding the Sick; Recipes for Invalid Foods and Beverages; Tables of Weights and Measures; Table for Computing the Date of Labor; List of Abbreviations; Dose-List; and a full and complete Glossary of Medical Terms and Nursing Treatment. "This is a well-written, eminently practical volume, which covers the entire range of private nursing as distinguished from hospital nursing, and instructs the nurse how best to meet the various emergencies which may arise and how to prepare everything ordinarily needed in the illness of her patient."-American Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children, Aug., 1896.

B., Professor of Comparative Pathology and Bacteriology, King's College, London. A handsome octavo volume of 700 pages, with 273 engravings in the text, and 22 original and colored plates. Price, $6.50 net. This book, though nominally a Fourth Edition of Professor Crookshank's "MANUAL OF BACTERIOLOGY," is practically a new work, the old one having been reconstructed, greatly enlarged, revised throughout, and largely rewritten, forming a text-book for the Bacteriological Laboratory, for Medical Officers of Health, and for Veterinary Inspectors. MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS. By Dr. OSWALD VIERORDT, Professor of FOURTH AMERICAN EDITION, FROM THE FIFTH REVISED AND In this work, as in no other hitherto published, are given full and accurate explanations of the phenomena observed at the bedside. It is distinctly a clinical work by a master teacher, characterized by thoroughness, fulness, and accuracy. It is a mine of information upon the points that are so often passed over without explanation. Especial attention has been given to the germ-theory as a factor in the origin of disease. The present edition of this highly successful work has been translated from the fifth German edition. Many alterations have been made throughout the book, but especially in the sections on Gastric Digestion and the Nervous System. It will be found that all the qualities which served to make the earlier editions so acceptable have been developed with the evolution of the work to its present form.

"The introduction of explanatory wood-cuts in the text is a novel and most important feature which greatly furthers the easier understanding of the excellent plates, than which nothing, we venture to say, has been seen better in point of correctness, beauty, and general merit."-New York Medical Journal, Feb. 15, 1896. "An interesting feature of the Atlas is the descriptive text, which is written for each picture by the physician who treated the case or at whose instigation the models have been made. We predict for this truly beautiful work a large circulation in all parts of the medical world where the names St. Louis and Baretta have preceded it."-Medical Record, N. Y., Feb. 1, 1896.

Particular attention has been given to the important relations which micro-organisms bear to many ocular diseases. A number of special paragraphs on new subjects have been introduced, and certain articles, including a portion of the chapter on Operations, have been largely rewritten, or at least materially changed. A number of new illustrations have been added. The Appendix contains a full description of the method of determining the corneal astigmatism with the ophthalmometer of Javal and Schiötz, and the rotation of the eyes with the tropometer of Stevens. "A work that will meet the requirements not only of the specialist, but of the general practitioner in a rare degree. I am satisfied that unusual success awaits it.' WILLIAM PEPPER, M. D. Provost and Professor of Theory and Practice of Medicine and Clinical Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania. "A clearly written, comprehensive manual. One which we can commend to students as a reliable text-book, written with an evident knowledge of the wants of those entering upon the study of this special branch of medical science."-British Medical Journal. "It is hardly too much to say that for the student and practitioner beginning the study of Ophthalmology, it is the best single volume at present published."-Medical News. "It is a very useful, satisfactory, and safe guide for the student and the practitioner, and one of the best works of this scope in the English language.”—Annals of Ophthalmology. DISEASES OF WOMEN. By J. BLAND SUTTON, F. R. C. S., Assistant Surgeon to Middlesex Hospital, and Surgeon to Chelsea Hospital, London; The authors have placed in the hands of the physician and student a concise yet comprehensive guide to the study of gynecology in its most modern development.

"The book is very well prepared, and is certain to be well received by the medical public." -British Medical Journal. "The text has been carefully prepared. Nothing essential has been omitted, and its teachings are those recommended by the leading authorities of the day."-Journal of the American Medical Association. TEXT-BOOK UPON THE PATHOGENIC BACTERIA. Spe cially written for Students of Medicine. By JOSEPH MCFARLAND, M. D., Professor of Pathology and Bacteriology in the Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia, etc. 497 pages, finely illustrated. Price, Cloth, $2.50 net. SECOND EDITION, REVISED AND GREATLY ENLARGED. The work is intended to be a text-book for the medical student and for the practitioner who has had no recent laboratory training in this department of medical science. The instructions given as to needed apparatus, cultures, stainings, microscopic examinations, etc. are ample for the student's needs, and will afford to the physician much information that will interest and profit him relative to a subject which modern science shows to go far in explaining the etiology of many diseased conditions. In this second edition the work has been brought up to date in all departments of the subject, and numerous additions have been made to the technique in the endeavor to make the book fulfil the double purpose of a systematic work upon bacteria and a laboratory guide. "It is excellently adapted for the medical students and practitioners for whom it is avowedly written.... The descriptions given are accurate and readable, and the book should prove useful to those for whom it is written.-London Lancet, Aug. 29, 1896. "The author has succeded admirably in presenting the essential details of bacteriological technics, together with a judiciously chosen summary of our present knowledge of pathogenic bacteria. The work, we think, should have a wide circulation among English-speaking students of medicine."-N. Y. Medical Journal, April 4, 1896. "The book will be found of considerable use by medical men who have not had a special bacteriological training, and who desire to understand this important branch of medical science."-Edinburgh Medical Journal, July, 1896.

Cloth, $1.50 net. The present book differs from other similar works in several features, all of which are introduced to render it more practical and generally useful.

FIFTH EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED. Contributions to the science of medicine have poured in so rapidly during the last quarter of a century that it is well-nigh impossible for the student, with the limited time at his disposal, to master elaborate treatises or to cull from them that knowledge which is absolutely essential. From an extended experience in teaching, the author has been enabled, by classification, to group allied symptoms, and by the judicious elimination of theories and redundant explanations to bring within a comparatively small compass a complete outline of the prac tice of medicine. |
