BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION EXHIBITS.

(Continued.)

ALLEN & HANBURY's exhibit comprised a large variety of aseptic furniture for operating theatre, ward, etc, and a model of operation table in phosphor bronze made by the above firm for His Majesty King Edward VII., for presentation. This table was selected by Sir Frederick Treves, after inspecting every other form,

as the most complete and yet simplest operation table made. Every position is obtainable and automatically fixed at any point.

A. & H.'s registered dressing or instrument tables are the cleanest made, every corner being dispensed with.

The thoroughly strong and British-like structure of A. & H.'s furniture is admirable.

A. & H.'s patent operation table is in use at 14 of large London hospitals or infirmaries as well as other institutions all over the world. A large display of surgical instruments manufactured in A. & H.'s factory in London, Eng., were also displayed, including intestinal blanks, lithotrites, bladder and urethral instruments, anesthetic apparatus, Killian's instruments for nasal septum and frontal sinus, improved patterns of necote holders, self-retaining abdominal retractors, instruments for wiring and screwing ununited fractures, skull and brain instruments, gall bladder forceps and scoops, empyema and cleft palate instruments. Also Stack's portable dressing sterilizer, which can be used on ordinary Bunsen burner, kitchen fire, etc., the cost of this article, $10.00, is quickly repaid to any surgeon doing even a few operations.

All the above are now kept in stock in Toronto at Allen & Hanburys, 66 Gerrard Street East, Mr. Lloyd Wood, manager.

BOOK REVIEWS.

Medical Jurisprudence, Forensic Medicine and Toxicology. By R. A. WITTHAUS, A.M., M.D., Professor of Chemistry, Physics, and Toxicology in Cornell University; and TRACY C. BECKER, A.B., LL.D., Counsellor at Law, Professor of Criminal Law and Medical Jurisprudence in the University of Buffalo; with the collaboration of August Becker, Esq.; Chas. A. Boston, Esq.; Hon. Goodwin Brown; W. W. Bullard, M.D.; G. C. Cameron, M.D.; J. Clifton Edgar, M.D.; Jas. Ewing, M.D.; E. W. Fisher, M.D.; J. C. Johnson, M.D.; D. D. Lamb, M.D.; H. P. Loomis, M.D.; W. B. Outten, M.D.; Roswell Park, M.D.; J. Parmenter, M.D. ; Irving C. Rosse, M.D.; E. V. Stoddard, M.D.; G. W. Woolsley, M.D.; J. H. Woodward, M.D. Second Edition, Volume I. New York: Wm. Wood & Co. 1906.

This is indeed quite an important work. Volume I. consists of nearly 1,000 pages, seven hundred of which are devoted to Medical Jurisprudence, and the balance to Forensic Medicine. Dr. Witthaus contributes twenty-nine pages in a most interesting manner to what he terms the introduction, though in reality it is deserving of a more important title. The following twenty-five pages consist of a table of cases, as cited in Vol. I., adding materially to its value as a scientific work. Under the section devoted to Medical Jurisprudence we find chapters upon "Legislation Governing Physicians and Surgeons as Such," "The Legal Relations of Physicians and Surgeons," "Evidence of Communications between Patient and Physician," and "Synopsis of the Laws Regulating the Practice of Medicine." Under Forensic Medicine several important articles are contributed, dealing with "The Legal Status of the Dead Body," "The Powers and Duties of Coroners," "Medico-Legal Autopsies," "Personal Identity," "Determination of the Time of Death," "Death by Heat and Cold," and "Death by Starvation." Perhaps the most interesting is that from the pen of H. P. Loomis on "Determination of the Time of Death." In referring to the data upon which opinion as to time of death is formed, he says that some medical jurists have attempted to give a more definite character to these changes
