We have no more able expositor of diseases of the chest than Dr. Gerhard, and any work of his on these important subjects is certain of grateful acceptance by his professional brethren.—New York Lancet. To our readers, therefore, we recommend the book of Dr. Gerhard as the fullest and most judicious manual, in relation to the diseases of the chest, which they can procure.— Western and Southern Recorder, June, 1842.

PldiMee on Diseases of the Skin.—This excellent Treatise upon an order of diseases, the pathology of which is, in general, as obscure as the treatment is empirical, has just been republished, edited by Dr. Jol)n Bell, of this city. We hail with pleasure the appear- ance of any new work calculated to elucidate the intricate and ill-understood subject of skin-diseases. The late Dr. Mackintosh, in his Practice of Physic, recommends it as the ' best pathological and practical treatise on this class of diseases, which is to be found in any language.'—Phil. Med. Exam.., .Tan. 17, 1838. This work is one of the most excellent on the Diseases of the Skin in the English language.—West. Jour, of Med. and Phys. Sciences, Jan. 1838. ON THE INFLUENCE of PHYSICAL AGENTS on LIFE. By W. F. Edwards, M.D., F.R.S., etc. Translated from the French, by Drs. Hodgkin and Fisher. To which are added, some Observations on Elec- tricity, and Notes to the work. 1 vol. Bvo. This is a work of standard authority in Medicine ; and, in a physiological point of view, is pre-eminently the most valuable publication of the present century ; the experi- mental investigation instituted by the author, having done much towards solving many problems hitherto but partially understood. The work was originally presented in parts to the Royal Academy of Science of Paris, and so highly did they estimate the labours of the author, and so fully appreciate the services by him thus rendered to science and to humanity, that they awarded him, though a foreigner, the prize founded for the promotion of experimental physiology.
