    VIERORDT'S MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS. Fourth Edition, Revised. Medical Diagnosis. By Dr. Oswald Vierordt, Professor of Medi- cine at the University of Heidelberg. Translated, with additions, from the fifth enlarged German edition, with the author's permission, by Francis H. Stuart, A. M., M. D. Handsome royal octavo volume of 603 pages; 194 fine wood-cuts in text, many of them in colors. Cloth, $4.00 net; Sheep or Half Morocco, $5.00 net. A treasury of practical information which will be found of daily use to every busy practitioner who will consult it.—C. A. LlNDSLEY, M.D., Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine, Yale University. Rarely is a book published with which a reviewer can find so little fault as with the volume before us. Each particular item in the consideration of an organ or apparatus, which is necessary to determine a diagnosis of any disease of that organ, is mentioned; nothing seems forgotten. The chapters on diseases of the circulatory and digestive apparatus and nervous system are especially full and valuable. The reviewer would repeat that the book is one of the best—probably the best—which has fallen into his hands.—University Medical Magazine. WARREN'S SURGICAL PATHOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS. Surgical Pathology and Therapeutics. By John Collins Warren, M.D., LL.D., Professor of Surgery, Medical Department Harvard University; Surgeon to the Massachusetts General Hospital, etc. Handsome octavo volume of 832 pages; 136 relief and lithographic illustrations, 33 of which are printed in colors, and all of which were drawn by William J. Kaula from original specimens. Cloth, $6.00 net; Half Morocco, $7.00 net. There is the work of Dr. Warren, which I think is the most creditable book on Surgical Pathology, and the most beautiful medical illustration of the bookmaker's art, that has ever been issued from the American press.—Dr. Roswell Park, in the Harvard Graduate Magazine. The handsomest specimen of bookmaking that has ever been issued from the American medical press.—American Journal of the Medical Sciences. A most striking and very excellent feature of this book is its illustrations. Without e.xception, from the point of accuracy and artistic merit, they are the best ever seen in a work of this kind. Many of those representing microscopic pictures are so perfect in their coloring and detail as almost to give the beholder the impression that he is looking down the barrel of a microscope at a well-mounted section.—Annals of Surgery. WOLFF ON EXAMINATION OF URINE. Essentials of Examination of Urine. By Lawrence Wolff, M.D., Demonstrator of Chemistry, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, etc. Colored (Vogel) urine scale and numerous illustrations. Crown octavo. Cloth, 75 cents. [See Saunders' Question-Compends, page 21.] A very good work of its kind—very well suited to its purpose.—Times and Register. WOLFF'S MEDICAL CHEMISTRY. Fourth Edition, Revised. . Essentials of Medical Chemistry, Organic and Inorganic. Containing also Questions on Medical Physics, Chemical Physiology, Analytical Processes, Urinalysis, and Toxicology. By Lawrence Wolff, M.D., Demonstrator of Chemistry, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, etc. Crown octavo, 218 pages. Cloth, ^i.oo; inter- leaved for notes, ^1.25. [See Saunders' Question-Compends, page 21.] The scope of this work is certainly equal to that of the best course of lectures on Medical Chemistry.—Pharmaceutical Era.
