in its day. He fails to mention the use of the angiotribe in the same affection, although, at least in the reviewer's opinion, it is destined to fill an important place.

We can recommend Dr. Tuttle's book as an admirable one on the subjects included. C. C.

Physical Diagnosis in Obstetrics, etc. By EDWARD A. AYERS, M. D. E. B. Treat & Co., New York, 1901.

After a most careful reading of this book the reviewer regrets to say that he cannot find in it anything superior to that which may be found in most Text-books on Obstetrics. There appears to be a mix-up in the illustrations. Perchance a revision will correct some of the insufficiencies. MICHINARD.

A Text-Book of Practical Therapeutics. BY HOBART AMORY HARE, M. D., B. Sc. Ninth Edition. Lea Bros. & Co., Philadelphia and New York, 1902.

Hare's Therapeutics as a text and reference is now authoritative, and that it is popular with the medical profession is attested by the fact that it has reached its ninth edition.

The present volume has been carefully revised upon modern lines so as to make it almost a new work on therapeutics. The general scheme of the text is aimed at the consideration of drugs, remedies not drugs, and diseases and their indications, each under a separate capitulation.

Under Drugs are aphabetically discussed the list of agents used in the practice of medicine, internal and topical. Under the title of Remedies other than Drugs is presented a number of agents, like heat, cold, rest, mineral waters, transfusion and the like, each of which is adequately discussed.

The division of the book devoted to diseases and their indications is arranged in alphabetic sequence, each disease receiving brief, but explicit consideration, under every heading sufficient prescriptions being suggested to answer the purpose of the book, more to guide the practitioner in treatment than to present an exhaustive handling of each subject. The work is concluded with a dose list and a very comprehensive index. DYER.

It bears the characteristic features of the whole work; it is practical and of convenient size, complete, seasonable and full of fresh material.

Gibson's and Russell's Physical Diagnosis, third edition, revised and rewritten by FRANCIS D. BOYD, C. M. G., M. D., F. R. C. P. (ED.) D. Appleton & Co., New York, 1902.

This is an elementary work on the Essentials of Clinical Diagnosis. The illustrations are very good and very serviceable. In aiming at conciseness and compactness, omissions are unavoidable. But it is a well written course for beginners, fruitfully leading to the reading of larger works.
