    S3IITH Physiology of the Domestic Animals. A Text-Book for A'eterinary and Medical Students and rRACTiTioNERS. By Robert ^Meade Smith, xV.M.. M.D., Professor of Companitive Physi- ology in Ujiiversity of Pennsylvania; Fellow of the College of Physicians and Acaclemy 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 tiie domestic animals in a most comi)rehensive manner, especial prominence being given to the subject of foods aiid 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, CTreat Britain, and Canada. In one Handsome Royal Octavo Volume of over 950 pages, profusely Hlustrated with more than 400 Fine Wood-Engravin2;s and many Colored Plates. Price, Cloth, Sheep, United States.

V.S., Pro- fessor of Anatomy, Operative Sixrgeiy, and Sanitary Medicine in the American \ eteVinary College, New York, writes:—I have exam- ined the work of Dr. R. M. Smith on the 'Physiology of the Dome>^tic Animals,' and eon- side'r it one of the best additions to veterinary literature that we have had lor some time. E. M. Rkadixo, A.:M., ]M.I).. Professor of Physiology in the (Jliicago Veterinary College, writes:—I have carefully examined the 'Smith's Physiology,' published by you, and like it. It is comj rehensive, exhaustive, and complete, and is especially adapted to those who desire to obtain a full knowledge oi 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.—./owjjiai oj Comparative Medicine and Surgery. Veterinary i)ractitioners and graduates will read it with pleasure, ^'eterinary students ■will readily ai^cjuire 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.—Avierican Veterinary Review. Altogether, Professor Smith's Physiology of the Domestic Animals is a happy produc- tion, and will be hailed with delight in both the human medical and veterinary medical worlds. It should tind its place, besides, in all agricultural libraries.—Paui^ Paquin, M.D., V.S., in the Weekly Medical Revieiv. The author has judiciousl.\ made the nutri- tive functions the strong point of tlie work, and has devoted si)ecial attention to the sub- ject of foods and digestion. In looking through other sections of the work, it appears tousthatajust proporticmof space is assigned to each, in vicAV of their relative importance to the practitioner.—London Lancet. SOZIKSKEY Medical Symbolism. Historical Studies in tlie Arts of Healing: anci Hygiene. By Thomas S.

He who lias not time to more fully study the more extemled records of the i)ast, will highly prize this little book. Its interesting discour.^e 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 svm- bolism and mythology. As the author aptly quotes: *• What some light braines mav esteeih as foolish toyes, deeper judgments can and will value as sound and serious matter.—Can- adian Practitioner. In the volume before us we have an admira- ble and successful attenint to set forth in order those medical syn)i»ols which have come down to us. and to exnlain on historical grounds their signilicance. An astonishing amount of information is contained within tiie cov<'rs 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.
