PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MODERN OTOLOGY. By John F. Barnhill, M. D., Professor of Otology, Laryngology and Rhinology, Indiana University School of Medicine; Otologist and Laryngologist to Deaconess and State College Hospitals, etc., and Ernest de Wolfe Wales, B. S., M. D., Associate Professor of Otology, Laryngology and Rhinology, Indiana University School of Medicine; Former Assistant in Otology, Harvard Medical School; Former Assistant Aural Surgeon, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, etc. With three hundred and five original illustrations, many in colors. Philadelphia and London: W. B. Saunders Company, 1907. These writers have covered the special line of otology in this text-book, which will prove of material assistance to the otologist, as well as to the "occasional" otologist. The authors have borne in mind certain objects in the preparation of the work, and these are: I, to modernize the subject; 2, to correct certain traditional beliefs; 3, to advocate the earliest possible prophylaxis or treatment; 4, to emphasize the importance of a thorough examination and a definite diagnosis as a basis for rational treatment; 5, to illustrate the text. These five objects are surely accomplished in the work, and we recommend it to those desirous of reading up or of working in otology. DISEASES OF THE NOSE AND THROAT. By D. Braden Kyle, M. D., Professor of Laryngology and Rhinology, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. Fourth Edition, Thoroughly Revised and Enlarged. Octavo volume of seven hundred and twenty-five pages, with two hundred and fifteen illustrations, twenty-eight colors. Philadelphia and London: W. B. Saunders Company, 1907. Cloth, $4.00 net; half morocco, $5.50 net. This fourth edition of Kyle's standard work on diseases of the nose and throat can be conscientiously recommended to the practitioner of medicine as well as to the specialist. The statement of the author in the preface is certainly borne out in the text: “As in the previous editions, it has been the author's aim to take up each subject from a general standpoint, and to consider under diagnosis, pathology and treatment all systemic conditions in their relation to the special diseases of the nose and throat, as the same general fundamental principles involved in general medicine are certainly applicable to any specialty." This is an admirable book for a student of nose and throat diseases, i. e., a general practitioner who wishes to perfect his technique along these lines. Among the useful points about this work can be mentioned a chapter called "Taking Cold." special region are fully described, and The regulation operations in this full literature is given in all instances. THE TREATMENT OF FRACTURES: WITH NOTES UPON A FEW COMMON DISLOCATIONS. By Chas. L. Scudder, M. D., Surgeon to the Massachusetts General Hospital. Sixth Edition, Revised and Enlarged. Octavo volume of six hundred and thirty-five pages, with eight hundred and fifty-four original illustrations. Philadelphia and London: W. B. Saunders Company, 1907. Polished buckram, $5.50 net; half morocco, $7.00 net. This excellent work, now in its sixth edition, is a valuable contribution to the literature of medicine. It is well written and sufficiently illustrated to give a comprehensive idea of the different subjects discussed. The treatment of fractures is certainly deserving of special literature in the shape of text-books, and this text-book of Scudder ought to be considered a classic.

It shows the relation of X-ray work to fractures, and the practical value of X-rays in this class of injuries. Another laudable feature of the work is a chapter on "The Employment of Plaster-of-Paris." Full directions are given for the making of plaster-of-paris bandages, as well as directions for their application to fractured bones. The illustrations in this section of the book are very good. Reference is made to the lateral plaster splint made by pouring a plaster-of-paris cream into layers of crinoline and then applying the plaster-crinoline to the limb. This is a very useful procedure. MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS. A Manual for Students and Practitioners. By Charles Lyman Greene, M. D., Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine in the University of Minnesota; Attending Physician St. Luke's Hospital, liminary Remarks on Case-Taking and Diagnosis," stamps the author as a man of experience, erudition and common sense. In the first three pages of this book he has expressed more than most writers do in a volume. These remarks on case-making and general survey of the patient are commonly not made by medical writers, but they represent the seed of medical diagnosis. He says, in part, "to make a case history full, accurate, yet concise; to elicit the salient facts and assign to each its proper value and perspective demand; that the observer be full of knowledge, quick of perception and capable of avoiding both the shoals of omission and the rocks of verbosity." The author takes up seriatim the various methods of making a medical diagnosis; he states what can be told from the facial expression, from the color of the skin, from the dress of the the City Hospital and the St. Paul SAL HEPATICA Free Dispensary; Member of the Association of American Physicians, the American Medical Association, American Association for the Advancement of Science; Author of the "Examination for Life Insurance and its Associated Clinical Methods," etc., etc. Second edition, revised, with seven colored plates and two hundred and forty-one illustrations. Philadelphia: P. Blakiston's Son & Co., 1012 Walnut Street, 1907. Price, $3.50. The worth of a book and the ability of the writer can sometimes be told by reading but one chapter.

Quarto of three hundred and forty-two pages, containing two hundred and ninetyseven illustrations, mostly all in colors. Philadelphia and London: W. B. Saunders Company, 1907. Cloth, $6.00 net; half morocco, $7.50 net. This third volume deals with the vascular system, lymphatic system, nervous system and sense organs. The experience of the author in the dissectingroom has led him to depict the peripheral blood-vessels and nerves as the student is accustomed to see them in the cadaver, i. e., the vessels and nerves together in the same region. The arteries and nerves, or the arteries, veins and nerves, or the arteries and veins of the various regions, are shown in the same illustration. The illustrations in color are made from half-tones from original drawings by K. Hajek, the well-known artist and anatomist. The work is essentially an anatomical atlas for the student and the practitioner, not for the trained anatomist. It is designed to represent a composite picture of the various blood-vessel structures of the human body, and so save the student of anatomy loss of time in looking up points in the ordinary anatomical atlas which is designed for the DO YOUR OWN PRINTING specialist.

The entire section which is devoted to the anamnesis is certainly commendable. The use of the X-ray in the examination of the chest is fully considered. He says that while the X-ray is but a part of physical examination, one is surprised to find how often ordinary physical signs have been misleading, or have failed to reveal more than a part of the condition actually existing. The book throughout teems with valuable thoughts and suggestions, and can well serve either student of medicine or practitioner in helping him to diagnose disease in its many manifestations. ATLAS AND TEXT-BOOK OF HUMAN ANATOMY. Volume III, completing the work. By Prof. J. Sobotta, of Wurzburg. Edited, with additions, by J. ommend the work. THE COUGHS FOLLOWING GRIP. Dr. John McCarty (Louisville Medical College), in giving his personal experience with this condition, writes as follows: "Ten years ago I had the grip severely, and every winter until 1902 my cough was almost intolerable. During January, 1902, I procured a supply of Antikamnia and Codeine Tablets and began taking them for my cough, which had distressed me all winter, and as they gave me prompt relief, I continued taking them with good results. Last fall I again ordered a supply of Antikamnia and Codeine Tablets, and I have taken them regularly all winter, and have coughed but very little. I take one tablet every three or four hours and one on retiring. They not only stop the cough, but make expectoration easy and satisfactory. The best results are obtained by allowing the tablet to dissolve slowly in the mouth before swallowing." |
