The work is very comprehensive and complete iu it.s scope.—Medical World. The book before us is a most remarkable production and a most entertaining one. The book is equally well adapted for the laity or the profession. It tells us how to be healthy, happy, and as beautiful as possible. We can't review this book ; it is different from anything we have ever read. It runs like a novel, and will be perused until finished with pleasure and proht. Buy it, read it, and be surprised, pleased, and improved.—ITie Southern Clinio. This book is written primarily for the laitj', but will prove of interest to the physician as well. Thougli the author goes to soiiie extent into technicalities, he confines himself to the use of good, plain Enelish, and in that respect sets a notable example to many other writers on similar subjects. Furthermore, the book is written from a thoroughly American stand- point.—Medical Record. This is an exceedingly interesting book, both scientific and practical in character, in- tended for both professional and lay reader.s. The book is well written and presented in ad- mirable form by the publisher.—Ganadian Fractitioiier. SBOESTAKEH Ointments and Oleates : ''If.^.e sw^!' By .John V.
