    8. Hygienic Therapeutics. This work, wh^ch treats of Massage, Exercise, Hydrotherapy, Aerotherapy and Climato- therapy. has been published in its entirety in the columns of the Therapeutic Gazette, 1887-1888. From the above statement, it will be seen that all of the Lemons de Clinique Therapeutique, a work which has had no little popularity and success in France, has now been rendered into English, except Vol. II, which is devoted to the treatment of Diseases of the Liver Kidneys and Lungs. The present volume comprises Diseases of the Liver, and the succeeding volume on Diseases of the Kidneys, will leave only about half of Vol. II of the Lefons untranslated. I hardly need to apologize for the omission of many pages of the bibliographical indications. Some abridgement was deemed necessary, and it seemed that these references, pertaining, for the most part, to works in foreign languages, might better be spared than any other part It is unnecessary that I should call attention to the practical character of this work, and the wealth of research which it em- bodies, or allude to the prominent position which Dujardin- Beaumetz now occupies in the estimation of his colleagues in the medical profession everywhere, as a leader in therapeutics. Translator. Newburyport, Mass., July ist, 1888.
