    In 8vo. (Second Edition), price 8s. Gri. A TREATISE ON PULMONARY CONSUMPTION, ITS PREVENTION AND REMEDY. A valuable little work.—The Record. Mr. Murray is entitled to the highest praise for his exertions: if the happy result should follow, History will place his name on a level with that of Jenner.—Monthly Gazette of Practical Medicine, Sept. ]. How can we refuse to assent to testimony as to the power of an avowed agent which has science and experience to give it weight? With the exam- ple of Harvey, Jenner, Davy, and others before his eyes, Mr. Murray has adopted that course of candid publicity which is most congenial to the high and noble pursuitof Chemical investigation which he haschosen.—Monthly Review, Sept. 1. Mr. Murray has succeeded in giving a popular form to a great deal of interesting information : his efforts are dictated by the purest philanthropy. —North of England Medical and Sicrgical Journal, No. ii. Mr. Murray, in his recently-published work on consumption, has de- served the gratitude of his countrymen. He has examined the disease and its remedies chemically, and appears to us to have taken new and original views of both. His work is, moreover, full of very interesting and curious facts, of a nature to escape the unscientific observer.—Spectator, Feb. 12. VIII. DESCRIPTIVE ACCOUNT OF A NEW SHOWER BATH, AND AN APPARATUS FOR SUSPENDED ANIMATION. SECOND EDITION. In Qvo. with a Plate,—Price 2s. 6d. We have here another Illustration of the Author's aim to render the inventions of Science tributary to the real benefit of mankind: the great Su- periority of this shower Bath to those ordinarily used, is the facility which it affords of dividing the same supply of Water into an unlimited number of Showers, &c. &c. Mr. Murray has also given us an Account (with a Plate) of an Ap- paratus for restoring Suspended Animation, for which we may venture to offer him the thanks of the Profession.—North of England Medical and Surgical Journal, June 1831. Though the Shower Bath, as an important auxiliary to health, may be an object of no slight general interest, as it has been of the successful atten- tion of our scientific author, yet the apparatus for restoring Suspended Ani- mation, and which appears well adapted to its design, is the subject of chief moment. It occupies the principal part of these pages, and is described with much clearness and intelligence.—Friends' Magazine, June 1, 1831. This Pamphlet contains an account of two ingenious Inventions. We part from the author with sentiments of respect and esteem for his talents and acquirements.—Bath and Cheltenham Gazette, May 17. A sensible and well written pamphlet. The apparatus for restoring Suspended Animation is intended to operate with air on the lungs as a sy- ringe. The Shower Bath is simple and excellent.—Imperial Mag. Aug. 1.
