50 Charts, in Tablet Form. Size 8 x 12 inches. Price, post-paid, in the United
States and Canada, 50 Cents, net; in Great Britain, 3s. 6d.; in France, 6 fr. 60.
The above diagram is a little more than one-fifth (1-5) the actual site of the chart and shows the method of plotting, the upper curve being the Temperature, the middle the Pulse, and the lower the Respiration. By this method a full record of each can easily be kept with but one color ink.
It is so arranged that all practitioners will find it an invaluable aid in the treatment of their patients.
On the back of each chart will be found ample space conveniently arranged for recording "Clinical History and Symptoms" and "Treatment."
By its use the physician will secure such a complete record of his cases as, will enable him to review them at any time. Thus he will always have at hand a source of individual improvement and benefit in the practice of his profession, the value of which can hardly be overestimated.

Medical Publications of The F. A. Davis Co., Philadelphia. CAPP Her Health, Education, and Wedlock. The Daughter. Homely Suggestions to Mothers and Daughters. By Willtam M. Capp, M.D., Philadelphia. This is just such a book as a family physician would advise his lady patients to obtain and read. It answers many questions which every busy practitioner of medicine has put to him in the sick-room at a time when it is neither expedient nor wise to impart the information sought. It is complete in one beautifully printed (large, clear type) 12mo volume of 150 pages. Attractively bound in Extra CUth. Price, post-paid, in the United States and Canada, $1.00, net ; In Grea, Britain, 5s. 6d. ; France, 6 fr. 20. In the 144 pages allotted to him he has com- pressed an amount of homely wisdom on the physical, mental, and moral development of the female child from birth to maturity which is to be found elsewhere in only the great book of experience. It is, of course, a book for mothers, but is one so void of offense in expression or ideas that it can safely be recom- mended for all whose minds are "sufficiently developed to appreciate its teachings. Phila- delphia Public L,edger. Many delicate subjects are treated with skill and in a manner which cannot strike any one as improper or bold. The absolute ignor- ance in which most young girls are allowed to exist, even until adult life, is often productive of much misery, both mental and physical. Quite a number of books written by physi- cians for popular use have been prepared in such a way that the professional man can read between the lines strong bids for popular favor, etc. These objectionable features will not be found in Dr. Capp's brochure, and for this reason it is worthy the confidence of physicians.

Price, post-paid, in United States and Canada, $1.75, net; in Great Britain, 10s. ; in France, 12 fr. 20. The Chinaman is a source of absolute curi- osity to the American, and anything in regard to his relationship to the medical profession will prove more than usually attractive to the average doctor. Such is the case with the work before us. It is difficult to put it aside after one has begun to read it. Memphis Med. Monthly. Dr. Coltman has written a very readable book, illustrated with reproductions of photo- graphs taken by himself. Boston Med. and Surg. Journal. Attached to a number of hospitals and dis- pensaries, he has had ample opportunity to observe the medical aspect of the Chinese. The most prevalent diseases are such as affect the alimentary tract and eye troubles. Renal troubles are also frequent. Skin diseases are abundant and syphilis is far from infrequent. Erysipelas is rare and enteric fever infrequent. Cholera appears in epidemics and is then frightfully fatal. Leprosy, of course, is com- mon, and "the author states that it cannot be contagious, as is supposed by many, or it wouldassunie a terrible prevalence in China, where lepers are permitted to go about free. We will not further mention the subjects discussed in this excellent book. The style of the author is very interesting and taking, and much information is given in an entertaining manner. The politicalsituation is very intelli- gently handled in its various bearings. The photo-engravings are handsome and well-ex- ecuted, the book in general being gotten up in a very artistic manner. We can heartily com- mend this work not only to physicians, but to intelligent lay readers. St. Louis Medical Review. (6) Medical Publications of The F. A. Davis Co., Philadelphia.

His directions are given in such a manner as to make life enjoyable to a consumptive patient and not a burden, as is too frequently the case. Weekly Medical Review.

GO. For some years past there has been a growing demand for something more satisfactory and more practical in the way of literature on the subject of aero- therapeutics. On all sides professional men of standing and ability are turning their attention to the use of the gaseous elements/ as remedies in disease, as well as sustainers in health. In prosecuting their inquiries, the first hindrance has been the want of any reliable or satisfactory literature on the subject. This work, translated from the French of Professor Demarquay, contains also a very full account of recent English, German, and American experiences, prepared by Dr. Samuel S. Wallian, of New York, whose experience in this field has been more extensive than that of any other American writer on the subject. This is a handsome volume of 300 pages, | in large print, on good paper, and nicelv ill us- | trated. Although nominally pleading for the use of oxygen inhalations, the author shows in | a philosophical manner how much greater I good physicians might do if they more fully ; appreciated the value of fresh-air exercise and water, especially in diseases of the lungs, kid- neys, and skin. We commend its perusal to our readers. The Canada Medical Record. The book should be widely read, for to many it will bring the addition of a new weapon to their therapeutic armament.

This book is a novelty in Bacteriological Science. It is a work of great importance to the teacher as well as to the student. It will be of inestimable value to the private worker, and is designed throughout as a practical guide in laboratory work.

Eugene Riggs, A.M , M.D., Professor of Mental and Nervous Diseases, University of Minnesota; Member of the American Neurological Association.

One of the most instructive and valuable works on the minute anatomy of the human brain extant. It is written in the form of lectures, profusely illustrated, and in clear language.—The Pacific Record of Medicine and Surgery.
Since the first works on anatomy, up to the present day, no work has appeared on the subject of the general and minute anatomy of the central nervous system so complete and exhaustive as this work of Dr. Ludwig Edinger. Being himself an original worker, and having the benefits of such masters as Stilling, Weigeit, Geilach, Meynert, and others, he hassucceeded in transforming the mazy wilderness of nerve fibres and cells into a district of well-marked pathways and centres, and by so doing has made a pleasure out of an anatomical bugbear.—The Southern Medical Record.
Every point is clearly dwelt upon in the text, and where description alone might leave a subject obscure clever drawings and diagrams are introduced to render misconception of the author's meaning impossible. The book is eminently practical. It unravels the intricate entanglement of different tracts and paths in a way that no other book has done so explicitly or so concisely.—Northwestern Lancet.

By [[Author:William Goodell]], A.M., M.D., etc., Professor of Clinical Gynecology in the University of Pennsylvania.
This exceedingly valuable work, from one of the most eminent specialists and teachers in gynecology in the United States, is now offered to the profession in a much more complete condition than either of the previous editions. It embraces all the more important diseases and the principal operations in the field of gynecology, and brings to bear upon them all the extensive practical experience and wide reading of the author. It is an indispensable guide to every practitioner who has to do with the diseases peculiar to women. Third Edition. With 112 illustrations. Thoroughly" revised and greatly enlarged.

It is too good a book to have been allowed to remain out of print, and it has unquestionably been missed. The author has revised the work with special care, adding to each lesson such fresh matter as the progress in the art rendered necessary, and he has enlarged it by the insertion of six new lessons. This edition will, without question, be as eagerly sought for as were its predecessors. American Journal of Obstetrics.
His literary style is peculiarly charming. There is a directness and simplicity about it which is easier to admire than to copy. His chain of plain words and almost blunt expressions, his familiar comparison and homely illustrations, make his writings, like his lectures, unusually entertaining. The substance of his teachings we regard as equally excellent. Philadelphia Medical and Surgical Reporter.
Extended mention of the contents of the book is unnecessary; suffice it to say that every important disease found in the female sex is taken up and discussed in a common-sense kind of a way. We wish every physician in America could read and carry out the suggestions of the chapter on "the sexual relations as causes of uterine disorders conjugal onanism and kindred sins." The department treating of nervous counterfeits of uterine diseases is a most valuable one. Kansas City Medical Index.

The task of preparing the work must have been most laborious, but we think that Dr. Hare will be repaid for his efforts by a wide appreciation of the work by the profession ; for the book will be instructive to those who have not kept abreast with the recent litera- ture upon this subject.

The literary execution of the book is very satisfactory, the text is profusely illustrated, and the student will find abuudant means in the cuts for familiarizing himself with the various aspects presented by the incisive arches during the different stages of life. Illustrations do not always illustrate ; these do. Amer. Vet. Review.

Rohe, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Hygiene, College of Physi- cians and Surgeons, Baltimore ; Visiting Physician to Bay View and City Hos- pitals ; Director of the Maryland Maternite ; Associate Editor "Annual of the Universal Medical Sciences," etc. Profusely Illustrated by Wood-Engravings and Original Diagrams, and published in one handsome Royal Octavo volume of 383 pages, bound in Extra Cloth. The constantly increasing demand for this work attests its thorough relia- bility and its popularity with the profession, and points to the fact that it is already the standard work on this very important subject. The part on Ph} r sical Electricity, written by Dr. Liebig, one of the recognized authorities on the science in the United States, treats fully such topics of interest as Storage Bat- teries, Dynamos, the Electric Light, and the Principles and Practice of Electrical Measurement in their Relations to Medical Practice. Professor Rohe, who writes on Electro-Therapeutics, discusses at length the recent developments of Electricity in the treatment of stricture, enlarged prostate, uterine fibroids, pelvic cellulitis, and other diseases of the male and female genito-urinary organs. The applica- tions of Electricity ki dermatology, as well as in the diseases of the nervous system, are also fully considered.

Any physician, especially if he be a beginner in electro-therapeutics, will be well repaid by a careful study of this work by Liebig and Rohe. For a work on a special subject the price is low, and no one can give a good ex- cuse for remaining in ignorance of so impor- tant a subject as electricity in medicine.

In its perusal, with each succeeding page, we have been more and more impressed with the fact that here, at last, we have a treatise on electricity in medicine and surgery which amply fulfills its purpose, and which is sure of general adoption by reason of its thorough excellence and superiority to other works in- tended to cover the same field.

The book is an exceedingly valuable one, and represents an amount of study and experience which is only appreciated after a careful reading. Med ical Record . Physicians' Interpreter. In Four Languages (English, French, German, and Italian). Specially Arranged for Diagnosis by M. von V. The object of this little work is to meet a need often keenly felt by the busy, physician, namely, the need of some quick and reliable method of com- municating intelligibly with patients of those nationalites and languages unfa- miliar to the practitioner. The plan of the book is a systematic arrangement of questions upon the various branches of Practical Medicine, and each question is so worded that the only answer required of the patient is merely Yes or No. The questions are all numbered, and a complete Index renders them always available for quick reference. The book is written by one who is well versed in English, French, German, and Italian, being an excellent teacher in all those languages, and who has also had considerable hospital experience.

Many other books of the same sort, with more extensive vocabularies, have been pub- lished, but, from their size, and from their being usually devoted to equivalents in Eng- lish and one other language only, they have not had the advantage which is pre-eminent in this convenience.

The Medical Bulletin Visiting-List or Physicians' Call Record. arranged upon an original and convenient monthly and weekly Plan for the Daily Recording of Professional Visits. Frequent Rewriting of Names Unnecessary. THIS Visiting-List is arranged so that the names of patients need be written but once a month instead of four times a month, as in the old-style lists. By means of a new feature, a simple device consisting of stub or half leaves in the form of inserts, the first week's visits are recorded in the usual way, and the second week's visits are begun by simply turning over the half-leaf without the necessity of rewriting the patients' names. This very easily under- stood process is repeated until the month is ended and the record has been kept complete in every detail of visit, charge, credit, etc., and the labor and time of entering and transferring names at least three times in the month has been saved. There are no intricate rulings ; not the least amount of time can be lost in comprehending the plan, for it is acquired at a glance. THE THREE DIFFERENT STYLES MADE. The No. 1 Style of this List provides space for the daily record of seventy different names each month for a year ; for physicians who prefer a List that will accommodate a larger practice we have made a No. 2 Style, which provides space for the daily record of 105 different names each month for a year, and for physicians who may prefer a Pocket Record-Book of less thickness than either of these styles we have made a No. 3 Style, in which "The Blanks for the Record- ing of Visits in " have been made into removable sections. These sections are very thin, and are made up so as to answer in full the demand of the largest practice, each section providing ample space for the daily record of 210 dif- ferent names for two months^; or 105 different names daily each month for four months ; or seventy different names daily each month for six months. Six sets of these sections go with each copy of No. 3 Style. SPECIAL FEATURES NOT FOUND IN ANY OTHER LIST. In this No. 3 Style the printed matter, and such matter as the blank forms for Addresses of Patients, Obstetric Record, Vaccination Record, Cash Account, Birth and Death Records, etc., are fastened permanently in the back of the book, thus reducing its thickness. The addition of one of these removable sections does not increase the thickness more than an eighth of an inch. This brings the book into such a small compass that no one can object to it on account of its thickness, as its bulk is very much less than that of any visiting- list ever published. Every physician will at once understand that as soon as a section is full it can be taken out, filed away, and another inserted without the least inconvenience or trouble. Extra or additional sections will be furnished at any time for 15 cents each or $1.75 per dozen. This Visiting-List contains calen- dars, valuable miscellaneous data, important tables, and other useful printed matter usually placed in Physicians' Visiting-Lists. Physicians of many years' standing and with large practices pronounce it the Best List they have ever seen. It is handsomely bound in fine, strong leather, with flap, including a pocket for loose memoranda, etc., and is furnished with a Dixon lead-pencil of excellent quality and finish.

Davis Co., Philadelphia. Physician's All-Requisite Time- and Labor- Saving Account-Book. Being a Ledger and Account-Book for Physicians' Use, Meeting all the Requirements of the Law and Courts. Designed by William A. Seibert, M.D., of Easton, Pa. Probably no class of people lose more money tbrough carelessly kept accounts and overlooked or neglected bills tban pbysicians. Often detained at the bedside of the sick until late at night, or deprived of even a modicum of rest, it is with great difficulty that he spares the time or puts himself in condition to give the same care to his own financial interests that a merchant, a lawyer, or even a farmer devotes. It is then plainly apparent that a system of bookkeeping and accounts that, without sacrificing accuracy, but, on the other hand, ensuring it, at the same time relieves the keeping of a physician's book of half their complexity and two-thirds the labor, is a convenience which will be eagerly welcomed by thousands of overworked physicians. Such a system has at last been devised, and we take pleasure in offering it to the profession in the form ot The Physician's All -Requisite Time- and Labor- Saving Account-Book. There is no exaggeration in stating that this Account-Book and Ledger reduces the labor of keeping your accounts more than one -half, and at the same time secures the greatest degree of accuracy. We may mention a few of the superior advantages of The Physician's All-Requisite Time- and Labor- Saving Account-Book, as follows : First Will meet all the requirements of the law and courts. Second Self-explanatory ; no cipher code. Third Its completeness without sacri- ficing anything. Fourth No posting ; one entry only. Fifth Universal ; can be commenced at any time of the year, and can be continued indefinitely until every account is filled. Sixth Absolutely no waste of space. Seventh One person must needs be sick every day of the year to fill his account, or might be ten years about it and require no more than the space for one account in this ledger. Eighth Double the number and many times more than the number of ac- counts in any similar book ; the 300-page book contains space for 900 accounts, and the 600-page book contains space for 1800 ac- counts. Ninth There are no smaller spaces. Tenth Compact without sacrificing completeness ; every account com- plete on same page a decided ad- vantage and recommendation. Eleventh Uniform size of leaves. Twelfth The statement of the most complicated account is at once be- fore you at any time of month or year in other words, the account itself as it stands is its simplest statement. Thirteenth No transferring of accounts, balances, etc. To all physicians desiring a quick, accurate, and comprehensive method of keeping their accounts, we can safely say that no book as suitable as this one has ever been devised.

Gives in a clear form not only the Cranial and Spinal Nerves, show- ing the formation of the different Plexuses and their branches, but ajfco the complete distribution of (he Sympathetic Nerves. PART II. The Arteries Gives a unique grouping of the Arterial system, showing the divisions and subdivisions of all the vessels, beginning from the heart and tracing their CONTINUOUS distribution to the periphery, and showing at a glance the terminal branches of each artery. PART III. The Veins Shows how the blood from the periphery of the body is gradually collected by the larger veins, and these coalescing forming still larger vessels, until they finally trace themselves into the Right Auricle of the heart. It is therefore readily seen that "The Nervo-Vascular System of Charts " offers the following superior advantages : . It is the only arrangement which combines the Three Systems, and yet each is perfect and distinct in itself. . It is the only instance of the Cranial, Spinal, and Sympathetic Nervous Systems being represented on one chart. .

Every physician should read this book; he will there find, in a condensed and S3'stematized form, what there is known concerning Circumcision.

The author has here gathered from every source the material for his subject, and the deductions are unmistakable. This is a very full and readable book.

There has long been great need of a work on the principles of surgery which would fully illustrate the pres- ent advanced state of knowledge of the various subjects embraced in this volume. The work seems to me to meet this want admirably." Lewis A. Sayre, M.D., Professor Ortho- paedic Surgerv Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New Vork, writes : " My Dear Doctor Senn : Your very valuable work on surgery, sent to me some time since, I have studied with great satisfaction and improvement. I congratulate you most heartily on having pro- duced the most classical and practical work on surgery yet published." Frank J. Lptz, M.D., St. Louis, Mo., says : "It seems incredible that those who pretend to teach have done without such a guide before, and I do not understand how our stu- dents succeeded in mastering the principles of modern surgery by attempting to read our obsolete text-books. American surgery should feel proud of the production, and the present generation of surgeons owe you a debt of gratitude." Wm. Oseer, M.D., The Johns Hopkins Hos- pital, Baltimore, says: "You certainly have covered the ground thoroughly and well, and with a thoroughness I do not know of in any similar work. I should think it would prove a great boon to the students and also to very many teachers." The work is systematic and compact, without a fact omitted "or a sentence too much, and it not only makes instructive but fascinating reading.

The author seems to have had a very large personal experience, which is freely made use of in the text, besides which he is familiar with almost all that has been written in Eng- lish and German on the above topics.

The work is exceedingly practical, as the chapters on the treatment of the various con- ditions considered are based on sound deduc- tions, are complete, and easily carried out by any painstaking surgeon. All in all, the book is a most excellent one, and deserves a place in every well-selected library. Medical Record. It will prove exceedingly valuable in the diffusion of more thorough knowledge of the subject-matter among English-speaking sur- feons. As in the case of all his work, he has one this in a truly admirable manner. The book throughout is worthy of the highest praise. It should be adopted as a text-book in all of our schools.

The principles of surgery, as expounded by Dr. Senn, are such as to place the student in the independent position of evolving from them methods of treatment ; the master of tbe principles readily becomes equally a master of practice.

Physiology of the Domestic Animals.
A Text-Book for Veterinary and Medical Students and Practitioners.
By Robert Meade Smith, A.M., M.D , Professor of Comparative Physiology in University of Pennsylvania; Fellow of the College of Physicians and Academy of the Natural Sciences, Philadelphia; of American Physiological Society; of the American Society of Naturalists, etc.
This new and important work, the most thoroughly complete in the English language on this subject, treats of the physiology of the domestic animals in a most comprehensive manner, especial prominence being given to the subject of foods and fodders, and the character of the diet for the herbivora under different conditions, with a full consideration of their digestive peculiarities. Without being overburdened with details, it forms a complete text-book of physiology adapted to the use of students and practitioners of both veterinary and human medicine. This work has already been adopted as the Text-Book on Physiology in the Veterinary Colleges of the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. In one Handsome Royal Octavo Volume of over 950 pages, profusely illustrated with more than 400 Fine Wood-Engravings and many Colored Plates.

A. Liautard, M.D., H.F.R.C., V.S., Professor of Anatomy, Operative Surgery, and Sanitary Medicine in the American Veterinary College, New York, writes: "I have examined the work of Dr. R. M. Smith on the 'Physiology of the Domestic Animals,' and consider it one of the best additions to veterinary literature that we have had for some time."
E. M. Reading, A.M., M.D., Professor of Physiology in the Chicago Veterinary College, writes: "I have carefully examined the 'Smith's Physiology,' published by you, and like it. It is comprehensive, exhaustive, and complete, and is especially adapted to those who desire to obtain a full knowledge of the principles of physiology, and are not satisfied with a mere smattering of the cardinal points."
Dr. Smith's presentment of his subject is as brief as the status of the science permits, and to this much-desired conciseness he has added an equally welcome clearness of statement. The illustrations in the work are exceedingly good, and must prove a valuable aid to the full understanding of the text.—Journal of Comparative Medicine and Surgery.
Veterinary practitioners and graduates will read it with pleasure. Veterinary students will readily acquire needed knowledge from its pages, and veterinary schools, which would be well equipped for the work they aim to perform, cannot ignore it as their text-book in physiology.—American Veterinary Review.
Altogether, Professor Smith's "Physiology of the Domestic Animals" is a happy production, and will be hailed with delight in both the human medical and veterinary medical worlds. It should find its place, besides, in all agricultural libraries.—Paul Paquin, M.D., V.S., in the Weekly Medical Review.
The author has judiciously made the nutritive functions the strong-point of the work, and has devoted special attention to the subject of foods and digestion. In looking through other sections of the work, it appears to us that a just proportion of space is assigned to each, in view of their relative importance to the practitioner.—London Lancet.

He who has not time to more fully study the more extended records of the past, will highly prize this little book. Its interesting discourse upon the past is full of suggestive thought.—American Lancet.
Like an oasis in a dry and dusty desert of medical literature, through which we wearily stagger, is this work devoted to medical symbolism and mythology. As the author aptly quotes: "What some light braines may esteem as foolish toyes, deeper judgments can and will value as sound and serious matter."—Canadian Practitioner.
In the volume before us we have an admirable and successful attempt to set forth in order those medical symbols which have come down to us, and to explain on historical grounds their significance. An astonishing amount of information is contained within the covers of the book, and every page of the work bears token of the painstaking genius and erudite mind of the now unhappily deceased author.—London Lancet.

Stewart, M.D., and it gives me pleasure to characterize the work as systematic, concise, perspieuous, and authen- tic. Among manuals it is one of the best." It is well written, excellently illustrated, and fully up to date in every respect. Here we find all the essentials of Obstetrics in a nutshell, Anatomy, Embryology, Physiology, Pregnancy, Labor, Puerperal State, and Ob- stetric Operations all being carefully and ac- curately described.

ULTZMANN The Neuroses of the Genito-Urinary System in the Male. With Sterility and Impotence. By Dr. R. Ultzmann, Professor of Genito-Urinary Diseases in the Uni- versity of Vienna. Translated, with the author's permission, by Gardner W. Allen, M.D., Surgeon in the Genito-Urinary Department, Boston Dispensary. Full and complete, yet terse and concise, it handles the subject with such a vigor of touoh, such a clearness of detail and description, and such a directness to the result, that no medical man who once takes it up will be content to lay it down until its perusal is complete, nor will one reading be enough. Professor Ultzmann has approached the subject from a somewhat differct point of view from most surgeons, and this gives a peculiar value to the work.

It contains the latest, largest (66 formulae), and most complete collection of hypodermatic formula; (including the latest new remedies) ever published, with doses and directions for their use in over fifty different diseases and diseased conditions. Its appendix is brimful of information, invaluable in office work, emergency cases, and the daily routine of practice. It is a reliable friend to consult when, in a perplexing or obstinate case, the usual line of treatment is of no avail. (A hint or a help from the best authorities, as to choice of remedies, correct dosage, and the eligible, elegant, and most palat- able mode of exhibition of the same.) It is compact, elegantly printed and bound, well illustrated, and of conve- nient size and shape for the pocket. The alphabetical arrangement of the diseases and a thumb-letter index render reference rapid and easy. Blank leaves, judiciously distributed throughout the book, afford a place to record and index favorite formulae. As a student, the physician needs it for study, collateral reading, and for recording the favorite prescriptions of his professors, in lecture and clinic; as a recent graduate, he needs it as a reference hand-book for daily use in prescribing (gargles, nasal douches, inhalations, eye-washes, suppositories, incompatibles, poisons, etc.); as an old practitioner, he needs it to refresh his memory on old remedies and combinations, and for information concerning newer remedies and more modern approved plans of treatment.

Lectures on Nervous Diseases.
From the Stand-Point op Cerebral and Spinal Localization, and
the Later Methods Employed in the Diagnosis and
Treatment of these Affections.
By Ambrose L. Ranney, A.M., M.D., Professor of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Nervous System in the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital; Professor of Nervous and Mental Diseases in the Medical Department of the University of Vermont, etc.; Author of "The Applied Anatomy of the Nervous System," "Practical Medical Anatomy," etc., etc.
It is now generally conceded that the nervous system controls all of the physical functions to a greater or less extent, and also that most of the symptoms encountered at the bedside can be explained and interpreted from the stand-point of nervous physiology.
Profusely illustrated with original diagrams and sketches in color by the author, carefully selected wood-engravings, and reproduced photographs of typical cases. One handsome royal octavo volume of 780 pages.

We are glad to note that Dr. Ranney has published in book form his admirable lectures on nervous diseases. His book contains over seven hundred large pages, and is profusely illustrated with original diagrams and sketches in colors, and with many carefully selected wood-cuts and reproduced photographs of typical cases. A large amount of valuable information, not a little of which has but recently appeared in medical literature, is presented in compact form, and thus made easily accessible. In our opinion, Dr. Ranney's book ought to meet with a cordial reception at the hands of the medical profession, for, even though the author's views may be sometimes open to question, it cannot be disputed that his work bears evidence of scientific method and honest opinion.—American Journal of Insanity.
STANTON'S
Practical and Scientific Physiognomy;
OR
How to Read Faces.
By Mary Olmsted Stanton. Copiously illustrated. Two large Octavo volumes.
The author, Mrs. Mary O. Stanton, has given over twenty years to the preparation of this work. Her style is easy, and, by her happy method of illustration of every point, the book reads like a novel and memorizes itself. To physicians the diagnostic information conveyed is invaluable. To the general reader each page opens a new train of ideas. (This book has no reference whatever to phrenology.)

SAJOUS
Lectures on the Diseases of the Nose
and Throat.
Delivered at the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia.
By Charles E. Sajous, M.D., Formerly Lecturer on Rhinology and Laryngology in Jefferson Medical College; Chief Editor of the Annual of the Universal Medical Sciences, etc., etc.
☞ Since the publisher brought this valuable work before the profession, it has become: 1st, the text-book of a large number of colleges; 2d, the reference-book of the U. S. Army, Navy, and the Marine Service; and, 3d, an important and valued addition to the libraries of over 12,000 physicians.
This book has not only the inherent merit of presenting a clear expose of the subject, but it is written with a view to enable the general practitioner to treat his cases himself. To facilitate diagnosis, colored plates are introduced, showing the appearance of the different parts in the diseased state as they appear in nature by artificial light. No error can thus be made, as each affection of the nose and throat has its representative in the 100 chromo-lithographs presented. In the matter of treatment, the indications are so complete that even the slightest procedures, folding of cotton for the forceps, the use of the probe, etc., are clearly explained.
Illustrated with 100 chromo-lithographs, from oil paintings by the author, and 93 engravings on wood. One handsome royal octavo volume.
SOLD ONLY BY SUBSCRIPTION, OR SENT DIRECT ON RECEIPT OF PRICE,

It is intended to furnish the general practitioner not only with a guide for the treatment of diseases of the nose and throat, but also to place before him a representation of the normal and diseased parts as they would appear to him were they seen in the living subject. As a guide to the treatment of the nose and throat, we can cordially recommend this work.—Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. IN PREPARATION.
PSYCHOPATHIA SEXUALIS With Especial Reference to Contrary Sexual Instinct.
By Dr. It. von Krafft-Ebing, Professor of Psychiatry and Neurology in the University of Vienna. Authorized translation of the Seventh German Edition by Charles Gilbert Chaddock, M.D., Assistant Medical Superintendent Northern Michigan Asylum; Fellow of the Chicago Academy of Medicine.
Prof. von Krafft-Ebing's study of the Psychopathology of the sexual life was, when first published, a small monograph; but in the seven editions through which it has passed so rapidly it has received so many additions and been made to cover so completely every aspect of the anomalies of the sexual sphere that the work now deserves the name of a treatise. It easily supersedes all previous attempts to treat this important subject scientifically, and it is sure to commend itself to members of the medical and legal professions as a scientific explanation of many social and criminal enigmas to which no work in English offers a solution.
The work will be sold only by Subscription to Members of the Medical and Legal Professions.
