Smith on Children-Seventh Edition.

A TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF INFANCY AND Childhood. By J. LEWIS SMITH, M. D., Clinical Professor of Diseases of Children in Bellevue Hosp. Med. Col., N. Y. Seventh edition, thoroughly revised and rewritten. Octavo, 881 pages, 51 illus. Cloth, $4.50; leather, $5.50.

We have always considered Dr. Smith's book as one of the very best on the subject. It has always been practical-a field book, theoretical where theory has been deduced from practical experience. The very practical character of this book has always appealed to us. One seldom fails to find here a practical suggestion after search in other works has been in vain. In the seventh

edition we note a variety of changes in accordance with the progress of the times. It still stands foremost as the American textbook. Its advice is always conservative and thorough, and the evidence of research has long since placed its author in the front rank of medical teachers.-American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Dec. 1891.

JUST READY.

By

A MANUAL OF MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE. ALFRED S. TAYLOR, M. D., Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence and Chemistry in Guy's Hospital, London. New American from the twelfth English edition. Thoroughly revised by CLARK BELL, Esq., of the New York Bar. In one octavo vol. of 787 pages, with 56 illus. Cloth, $4.50; leather, $5.50. The merits of this work are well recognized, and its value as a standard text-book for medical instruction and as a trustworthy guide in medico-legal emergencies is fully appreciated. It is enough to assert with confidence that as a manual upon the subject of which it treats it is not excelled by any

other work on medical jurisprudence in the English language. If the medical practitioner is obliged to limit his literature upon legal medicine to a single volume, he will not make a mistake if he gives his preference to this eleventh American edition.-Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, Jan. 5, 1893.

HE student cannot begin too early in his course a habit of reading current medical literature. In this way he will best acquire an intelligent interest in the vital questions of his profession, secure a vast fund of information which will constantly supplement the knowledge gained from text-books, and become familiar with the approved methods of calling public attention to such additions as he may make to medical science during his professional life. For these purposes the following periodicals are most admirably adapted:

THE MEDICAL NEWS (Weekly, $4.00 per Annum).

THE NEWS Contains each week twenty-eight quarto pages, comprising original articles, clinical lectures and notes on practical advances, latest hospital methods, summaries of progress condensed from the best medical journals of the world, full abstracts of important articles, able editorials on current topics, book reviews, medical correspondence from important centres, and news items of interest. Published for fifty years, THE NEWs is familiar with the needs of medical men and the best methods of meeting them.

THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES

(Monthly, $4.00 per Annum).

THE AMERICAN JOURNAL is a medical magazine affording, in the 112 pages of each issue, ample space for elaborate original articles on important medical discoveries, discriminating reviews on valuable medical literature, and classified summaries of progress. According to the highest literary authority of the profession, from this file alone, were all other publications of the press for the last fifty years destroyed, it would be possible to reproduce the great majority of the real contributions of the world to medical science during that period."

COMMUTATION RATE.

Taken together, THE JOURNAL and NEWS form a peculiarly useful combination, and afford their readers the assurance that nothing of value in the progress of medical matters shall escape attention. To lead every reader to prove this personally the commutation rate has been placed at the exceedingly low figure of $7.50.

SPECIAL COMBINATION OFFERS.

The MEDICAL NEWS VISITING LIST (regular price, $1.25), or The Year-Book of Treatment (regular price, $1.50), will be furnished to advance-paying subscribers to either or both of these periodicals for 75 cents apiece; or Journal, News, Visiting List and Year-Book, $8.50.
