DeLaskie Miller, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics, Rush Medical College, Chicago, 111., says: "I have examined the 'Obstetric Synopsis,' by John S. 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 is believed, moreover, that there is no convenient hand-book in English treat- ing in a broad manner the Genito-Urinary Neuroses. Synopsis op Contents. First Part I.

This book is to be highly recommended, owing to its clearness and brevitv. Altogether, we do not know of any book of the same size which contains so much useful information in such a short space. Medical Neivs. Its scope is large, not being confined to the one condition, neurasthenia, but embracing all of the neuroses, motor and sensory of the genitourinary organs in the male. No one who has read after Dr. Ultzmann need be re- minded of his delightful manner of presenting his thoughts, which ever sparkle with original- ity and appositeness. Weekly Med. Review.
