PARKES (E. A.).—REMARKS ON THE DYSENTERY AND HEPATITIS of INDIA. By E. A. Parkes, M.B. late Assistant-Surgeon, H.M. 84th Regt. 8vo. 9s. cloth. “It is long since we have met with any work of research published by a military surgeon which has satisfied us more than this. Dr. Parkes’s remarks are evidently the results of actual and accurate observation, commenced with no small amount of sound knowledge, and conducted in the right direction. The facts which have resulted from his inquiry are highly interesting; they bear upon those parts of the history of hepatitis and dysentery which require elucidation, and they are stated with great method and clearness.””—MEDICAL GAZETTE. *¢ Dr. Parkes, availing himself of the opportunities afforded by his appointment as assistant- surgeon to one of Her Majesty’s regiments serving in India, has confined his attention to those diseases which are presented in that climate. The result is a work which, conferrin inestimable advantages on all, whether those who suffer, or those whose duty it is to affor relief, must be a source of great satisfaction to the honourable director-general of the army, to whom the present volume is dedicated, and to whose discrimination in selecting a dis- tinguished student for an unsolicited appointment, the profession is indebted for this result of his labours. Dr. Parkes’s volume, with its unpretending title, is also a valuable contribu- tion to this departinent of scientific medicine.’”?—LANCET.
