    THE WRITINGS OF HIPPOCRATES AND GALEN, EPITOMIZED AND RENDERED INTO ENGLISH, BY JOHN KEDMAN COXE, M. D., Formerly Professor in the University of Pennsylvania, &c, &c. In one handsome octavo volume. Price $3. This work is the first American or even English translation of the works of Hippocrates and Galen. The character and known ability and learning of Dr. Coxe is the best guarantee that he has well and faith- fully discharged his task of translation and epitomizing. The names of Hippocrates and Galen are as fami- liar as household words to every medical man, while it is to be regretted that their writings have been so little, if at all, read.—St. Louis Medical and Surgical Journal. A POCKET CYCLOPEDIA OF HUMAN ANATOMY, GENERAL, SPECIAL, AND TOPOGRAPHICAL; TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN OF VON BEHR, AND ADAPTED TO THE WANTS OF THE ENGLISH STUDENT. BY JOHN BIRKETT, Demonstrator of Anatomy at Guy's Hospital, &c. &c. Price $1 50. This is a collection of anatomical—of all anatomical—facts, we might say, arranged in most methodical order, and stated in the fewest words. It will serve either as a full and succinct introduction to the study of anatomy for the merest beginner, as a most convenient reference for the more advanced, or, better still, as a most ample and convenient text-book for the student, either in the dissecting room, at the lecture, or when about to undergo the exciting ordeal of an examination for the degree.—The Annalist. THE MINERAL SPRINGS OF VIRGINIA, With their Analysis, and some Remarks on their Character; together with a Directory for the use of the White Sulphur Water, an Account of the Diseases to which it is applicable, the Different Routes to the Springs, a Map of the Routes and Distances, a Ground-plot showing the position of the various Public Buildings, Private Residences, &c. at the White Sulphur Springs. By J. J. Moorman, M. D. A neat pocket volume. Price 75 cents. No one should visit the celebrated watering-places of the South without a copy of this useful little work. — Literary World, N. Y. LECTURES ON YELLOW FEVER, ITS CAUSES, PATHOLOGY, AND TREATMENT. BY JOHN HASTINGS, M. D., U. S. N. Price 50 cents. After seeing and treating many cases of yellow fever. Dr. Hastings has published an animated and ex- cellent account of this important malady. His descriptions, like all those drawn from nature, have that freshness which is sometimes wanting in the works of systematic authors who may not have had opportu nities of seeing the disease.—British-American Journ. Med. and Phys. Science. THE PHYSICIAN'S POCKET PRESCRIPTION BOOK: Containing Lists of Terms, Phrases, Contractions and Abbreviations used in Prescriptions, with Explanatory Notes: also, the Grammatical Construction of Prescriptions, &c : to which is added a Key, containing the Prescriptions in an abbreviated form, with a literal translation, intended for the use of Medical and Pharmaceutical Students. First American, from the 10th London edition. A small pocket volume. Price 63 cents. We take great pleasure in recommending it to both old and young practitioners and apothecaries. The list of terms, phrases, contractions and abbreviations used in prescriptions, the synonymes and translations of the Latin phrases used in pharmacy, and the chapter on nomenclature, are all so accurately and compact- ly arranged in a very small compass, that reference may be made to it in a moment. To apothecaries, stu- dents and young practitioners it is invaluable, and not unfrequently of great use to the most accomplished prescribes— Stethoscopist. WALKER OH INTERMARRIAGE; Or the mode in which, and the causes why. Beauty, Health, and Intellect result from certain unions and Deformity, Disease, and Insanity from others: demonstrated by delineations of the structures and forms, and descriptions of the functions and capacities which each parent in every pair bestows on children, in conformity with certain natural laws, and by an account of corre- sponding effects in the breeding of animals. Illustrated by drawings of parents and progeny. By Alexander Walker, author of Woman, Beauty, &c. Second edition, 12mo. Price 75 cents. The work is essentially scientific, although Mr. Walker has written it with a viewto general circulation, and has treated the subject in as popular a spirit as its peculiar nature would admit. Some curious tacts in the physical conformation of man are developed in the course of Mr. Walker's researches; and the laws in nature which he establishes are placed in a clearer light than we are aware they were ever placed in be- fore. The book is full of the most extraordinary and interesting matter.—Atlas.
