Per annum, in four cloth-bouud volumes, $10.00. LEA BROTHERS & CO., Philadelphia and New York.

This volume will prove of more than usual value to the general practitioner. Dr. Ewart presents the most recent views on Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, and other conditions of the Respiratory Tract. The advances in the treatment of Pneumonia and Phthisis have been so remarkable in the past year that this section will be read with especial interest.

The section on Dermatology and Syphilis is by Dr. Gottheil. In the section on diseases of the nervous system Dr. Spiller devotes a large portion of his space to an able discussion of tumors and abscesses of the brain.

In Obstetrics Dr. Norris discusses very fully the treatment of Eclampsia. Symphysiotomy in which Lumbar Anesthesia has been employed in obstetric practice, is also considered.

In the above we have briefly outlined some of the more important features of the work which is fully in keeping with its predecessors.

SIMON'S MANUAL OF CHEMISTRY. A guide to lectures and laboratory work for beginners in Chemistry, specially adapted for students of medicine, pharmacy and dentistry. By W. SIMON, Ph. D., M.D., Professor of Chemistry in the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore, in the Maryland College of Pharmacy, and in the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. Seventh edition. Thorougly revised and much enlarged. In one octavo volume of 613 pages with 66 engravings, one colored spectra plate and 8 colored plates representing 64 of the most important chemical reactions. Cloth, $3.00, net. LEA BROTHERS & Co., Publishers, Philadelphia and New York, 1901.

The call for a new edition of this manual has afforded the author an opportunity to incorporate, as far as practicable, the many important and latest results of scientific progress. At the same time he has complied with the requests of many teachers to present more fully than was done heretofore the parts on Chemical Physics and on Physiological Chemistry.

As an aid to laboratory work, a number of experiments have been added which may readily be performed by students with a comparatively small outfit of chemical apparatus.

THE DISEASES OF THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS, ACUTE AND CHRONIC. By WILLIAM F. WAUGH, A.M., M.D., Professor of Practice and Clinical Medicine, Illinois Medical College, etc. Pages 221. Price, $1.00 net. G. P. ENGELHARD & Co., Chicago, 1901.

The methods of treatment advocated by Dr. Waugh are based upon his conception of the role played in acute inflammation by the vaso-motor nerves, and his belief that the future scientific therapeutics lies in the study of such pathologic states, and the influence of drugs upon them, rather than in the consideration of these maladies as pathologic entities.

TEXT-BOOK OF NERVOUS DISEASES-being a Compendium for the use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine. By CHARLES A. L. DANA, A.M., M.D., Professor of Nervons Diseases in Cornell University Medical College; Visiting Physician to Bellevue Hospital, etc. 8vo. Cloth, pp. 633, with 244 Illustrations. Fifth Edition, 1901. WILLIAM WOOD & Co., Publishers, New York.

The author has presented the science of neurology in a concise yet complete form. Full attention is paid to anatomy. In the classification and pathology the manifestations necessitated by bacteriology have due consideration. As a text-book it will

prove of value to two classes of readers-one who need it for reference in connection with their cases, the other who need to be systematically guided in a correct knowledge of neurology.

The chapter on General Paresis added to this edition is most valuable, and room is made for this without materially adding to the size of the volume, as well for the short chapter on diag. nosis of diseases of the cauda equina and other additions as well as new illustrations by a careful revision and elision of the preceding edition.

SYPHILIS; ITS DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT. By WILLIAM S. GOTTHEIL, M.D., Profesior of Dermatology and Syphilogy, New York School of Clinical Medicine; Dermatologist to the Lebanon and Bethel-Israel Hospitals, the West Side German Dispensary, etc. Profusely Illustrated. Pages 216. Price, $1.00 net. G. P. ENGELHARD & Co., Chicago, 1901.

This is a very concise and practical consideration of the latest conditions regarding the natural history of syphilis, and the best method of managing its manifestations. Dr. Gottheil is thoroughly sound and reliable in the views enunciated, and we can most heartily commend his most excellent little brochure.

YOU AND YOUR DOCTOR. How to Prolong Life. A Practical Book on Health and the Cause of It. A Fearless Expose of all Quacks and Frauds Within and Without the Profession. By WILLIAM B. DOHERTY, M.D., Member of Kentucky State Medical Society. 12mo. Cloth, pp. 260. Illustrated. Price, $1.00. LAIRD & LEE, Publishers, Chicago.

This is rather a high sounding title, and from the examination of the book we find its outside is more pleasing to the eye than its interior is attractive to the mind. We can hardly class it as a material addition to an already overburdened profession. It contains some pertinent facts, though they are rather "chestnutty."

HYPNOTISM. A Complete System of Method, Application and Use, Prepared for Self-instruction of the Medical Profession. By L. M. D. LAURENCE, Instructor at the School of Hypnotism and Suggestive Therapeutics, Pittsburg. 12mo. Cloth, pp. 256. Illustrated. Price, $1.00. THE HENNEBERY COMPANY, 415 Dearborn Street, Chicago, Publishers.

A very practical consideration of Hypnotism, which he does

not regard as "a universal remedy, or a supplanter of regular medical treatment; but as a valuable aid and powerful auxillary" in treating neurotic affections and intractable diseases not readily reached by other means.

FAVORITE PRESCRIPTIONS OF DISTINGUISHED PRACTITIONERS, with Notes on Treatment. Edited by B. W. PALMER, A.M., M.D. 8vo., pp. 248. Cloth. Seventh Edition. Price, $2.00. E. B. TREAT & Co., 241 and 243 West Twenty-Third Street, New York, Pulishers, 1901. The seventh edition of this very excellent compilation of prescriptions and drug combinations has been thoroughly revised and greatly improved by the addition of quite a number of prescriptions of good value.

The editor has placed a mass of well arranged matter here in a condensed, systematic and practical form, the result of a careful gleaning of the various suggestions of the ablest clinicians.

It is not only an ecomizer of time and trouble in keeping a record of his professional visits and engagements, but may directly save a large percentage of his accounts, by enforcing systematic and business-like habits in presenting and collecting the same.

William Wood & Co. issue their visiting List in the same style they do all their publications-excellence and cheapness are marvelously combined by them, and repeatedly evoke praise from the impartial and elicit wonder from their competitors. It is thoroughly revised to date.

INTERNATIONAL CLINICS. A Quarterly of Clinical Lectures and especially prepared articles on Medicine, Neurology, Surgery, Therapeutics, Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Pathology, etc. By leading members of the Medical Profession throughout the world. Vol. II. Eleventh Series, 1901. 12mo. Cloth. Price, $2.00. J. B. LIPPENCOTT COMPANY, Publishers, Philadelphia.

The very high standard of this most excellent series is fully kept up in this volume, and the numerous short, practical articles are of exceeding interest and value. Beginning with the very interesting and practical article by Dr. Fenton B. Turck, of

Chicago, and concluding with about twenty pages devoted to the pronunciation and definition of some of the new medical words. by W. A. Newman Darland, of Philadelphia, which are alone worth the price of the volume, to say nothing of the large amount of other practical matter by some of the ahlest clinicians and writers of the day. We feel fully justified in giving it our highest commendation.

READY-REFERENCE HANDBOOK OF DISEASES OF THE SKIN. By GEORGE THOMAS JACKSON, M.D., Chief of Clinic and Instructor in Dermatology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York; Consulting Dermatologist to the Presbyterian Hospital, etc. 12mo. Cloth. New Fourth Edition, pp. 642, with 80 Illustrations and 3 Colored plates. Price, $2.50. LEA BROTHERS & Co., Publishers, New York and Philadelphia, 1901.

As a standard manual this is well worthy of commendation, being full and complete, and without doubt proves one of the best guides for the beginner in dermatology. It is a decided improvement on the many excellencies of the preceding editions.

A MEDICO-LEGAL MANUAL. By WILLIAM W. KEYSER, Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence in the Omaha Medical College, and Judge of the District Court, Omaha, Neb. 8vo. Cloth, pp. 316. BURKLEY PRINTING COMPANY, Publishers, Omaha, 1901.

This excellent little work very ably presents and elucidates the legal side of medical jurisprudence, and furnishes in a most attractive manner a variety of useful information of great importance to medical practitioners. It contains information that will be of great service to the medical expert witness. It will be of material service to both lawyers and doctors.

The author of this little work was intimately acquainted with the famous Confederate Generals, and has given us a most interesting and entertaining book. It will not only interest those who actively participated in the stirring scenes of the great drama extending from 1861 to 1865, but deserves and should receive
