    [ n ] therapeutics are discussed. Mr. Ghosh's book is a most useful work of reference, and as the material is well arrant- ed, and the information given is generally reliable, it should prove of value to the practitioner as well to the students. The China Medical Journal.—For size, in- formation contained, and the interesting and convenient arrangement of the same, it is the best we have seen. We most cordially recommend it as a book to be used. The Prescriber.— The issue of the fourth edition of this excellent book testifies to its continued popularity. The prescribing hints are given at the end of all the more important drugs form a valuable addi- tion. In the two concluding parts of the book a brief but admirable account is given of Serum Therapeutics and Organo-therapy. The part which treats of Pharmacy and Dispensing are exceptionally good, and is full of practical hints which cannot fail to be of the greatest value to the general practitioner. The book deserves our highest praise and can with confidence be recommended to both students and practitioners. The Indian Medical Gazette.—The book is undoubtedly one eminently suited for the needs of the local practitioners and officers in charge of isolated dispen- saries, whilst the student who has thoroughly read its contents need fear no local examination. We should like to see a copy of this book in the hands of the Medical Officers of local fund dispensaries, whose only literature is too often a copy of the British Pharmacopoeia, which is al- most out of date by the time it leaves the printers hands.
