    A BOOK ON LUNG COMPLAINTS. From the Registrar-General’s Returns we learn that one person out of every four dies from some form of lung disease, which would never happen if people lived properly. Dr. ALLINSON, the well-known Authority on Health, has written a book on Chest Complaints, which must have a great sale when its merits are known. It is divided into 26 chapters. The first three chapters deal with the AIR we breathe, show its necessity for life and health, and how breathing pure air prevents most chest complaints. Most people only use half their lungs, are narrow-chested, and have in consequence poor vitality; these chapters tell us how to breathe properly. Chapters 4 and 5 treat generally of Chest and Lung Complaints, show how they arise and give their chief symptoms and treatment. Chapters 6 and 7 point out that many lung diseases are due to occupation, and warn all who are sub- ject to lung diseases to avoid certain injurious trades and occupations. Chapters 8 and 9 treat of Coughs and Colds, tell how to get rid of them quickly and so avoid CONSUMPTION, which may follow even an ordinary cold. Chapter 10 treats of Croup—a valuable article for mothers. Chapter |] is on Winter Cough, and will be useful to all those who suffer every winter from a chronic cough. Chapter 13 is on Whooping Cough, from which nearly every child suffers at some time; the advice given here will lessen its ill effects. Hay Fever is dealt with in Chapter 14. Chapter 15 deals with Blood-Spitting, an alarm- ing but not necessarily fatal symptom. Chapter 16 gives the symptoms and treatment of Pleurisy. Chapters 17 and 18 deal with Acute and Chronic Bronchitis, and show how to avoid and cure them. Chapters 19 and 20 are devoted to the Cause, Symptoms, and Cure of Acute and Chronic Inflammation of the Lungs. Chapter 2] treats of Abscess in the Lung—a troublesome complaint. Chapters 22 and 23 deal with Emphysema and Difficulty of Breathing, and give advice how to overcome these distressing maladies. Chapter 24 is on Asthma. Every sufferer from this crippling disease should read it, as relief is promised if the patient will. obey advice given. Chapter 25 deals with that terrible complaint—CONSUMPTION; shows how it arises, tells us that few need suffer from it, and instructs us how to cure it in the earlier stages and gain relief in the later ones. The whole work is written in plain language; the advice given is easily carried out, and the reader, in a great measure, can be his own doctor. The book recommends no patent or other medicines, but shows plainly how to avoid Lung Complaints, and how sufferers may get rid of them. The book ought to be in every house, and if the advice and hints given are adhered to Lung Complaints will be rare indeed.
