Dr. Rush recommends particularly long journeys on horseback for the cure of this disease; also, in particular cases, stimulants and tonics, as co- paiva, bals. Peru, oil amber, turpentine, tar, garlic, elix. vitriol, dandelion, Jiorchound, wild cherry bark, cinchona bark, cold bath, &c.; also a cordial and stimulating diet, dry air in elevated situations, remote from tlie sea in all cases; appropriate clothing, blisters, and issues in the in- flammatory stage, moderate use of the lungs, salivation, and in some cases bleeding, For cough, demulcent teas, sirups and lozenges, opiates, tar vapour, &c.; for night sweats, elix. vit. and lime-water; for diarrhoea, chalk ju- lep, with tinct. opii and tinct. cinnamon, and astringent injections. The above are called palliatives. The rad- ical remedy is long-continued horseback exercise.— Jim.

Bost., 1836, p. 254. This work, adapted for general reading, is written in a pure classical style, and is one of the most instructive on this subject in our language. The remarks on the best modes of prevention and the climate of different places in Southern Europe, the result of the author's personal observations, are worthy of the particular attention of the American reader.—John Bell and W. Stokes, Lectures on the The- ory and Practice of Physic, 2 vols., Svo. Phil., 184S, 4th edition. Dr. Bell has embodied a vast amount of facts and personal observations in regard to this disease in seven lectures devoted to it, which may be found in the 2d vol. The treatment recommended is judicious, and in accordance with the present prevailing doctrines on this subject.—Parish, North Am. Med. and Surg. Journ.. vol. viii. Dr. P., following in the footsteps of Dr. Rush, recommends the tubercular invalid to rough it on horseback, on long journeys and in all kinds of weather, as the principal mode of cure.—Samuel Forry, The Cli- mate of the United States and its Endemic Influences, 8vo.

Month, for Jan., 1855, and March, 1856, and Trans, of N. Y. State Med. Soc, 1855, &c.—Lemuel Shattuck, Report of the Sanitary Commission of Massachusetts, 1850, Svo. Mr. S. has em- bodied in his report some very interesting facts in regard to the prevalence of consumption in Massachusetts. He shows from the statistical reports that the seasons do not exert much influence upon the disease, especially its terminating period. In four years, from 1845-S, there were 3443 males and 53S4 females died of this disease in Massachusetts, of whom 533 females were under 15, and 464 males; over 60, 916 females, 753 males; from 20 to 30 the number of females who perish from it is nearly double that of the males. In the country towns the proportion of the sexes is as 39.01 males to 60.99 females; in New York city, as 42.08 to 57.92. What are the peculiar causes affecting females in the country predisposing them to the disease? The proportion of deaths from phthisis in the western counties does not vary much from that on the sea-coast, being 1 in 3.92 in Barnstable county, to 1 in 5.43 in Berkshire. As 5.935, one tenth of the whole, are returned without a specified cause, the proportion of deaths from consumption in Massachusetts must be somewhat greater than the above (loc. cit.).—H. Huntt,
