In one handsome octavo volume of 925 pages, with b'05 fine engravings. Cloth, $5.50; leather, $6.50. It represents very fully the existing slate of fihysiology. The present work has a special value o the student and practitioner as devoied more to the practical application of well-known liutha which the advance of science has given to the profession in this department, whirr] may be con- sidered the foundation of rational medicine.—Buf- falo Mrdieal *nd Swgical Jo-rnal, ]>ec. 18S7 Matteis which have a practical bearing on the practice of medicine are lucidly expressed; tech- nical matters are given in minute detail; elabo- rate directions are stated for the guidance of stu- dents in the laboratory. In every respect the work fulfils its promise, whether as a complete treatise for the student or for the physician ; for the former it is so complete that he need look no farther, and the latter will find entertainment and instruction in an admirable book of reference.— North Carolina Medical Journal, Nov. 18S7. The work certainly commends itself to both student and practitioner. What is most demanded by the progressive physician of to-day is an adap- tation of physiology to practical therapeutics, and this work is a decided improvement in this respect over other works in the market. It will cenainly take place among the most valuable text-books.— Mtdical Age, Nov. 'lb, 1867. It is the production of an author delighted with his work, and able to inspire students with an en- thusiasm akin to his own.—American Practitioner and News, Nov. 12, 1887. DALTON, JOHN C, 31.

Cloth, 15.00; leather, $6.00. have never been in any doubt as to its sterling worth.—N, Y. Medical Journal, Oct. 1882. Professor Dalton's well-known and deservedly- appreciated work has long passed the stage at which it could be reviewed in the ordinary sense. The work is eminently one for the medical prac- titioner, since it treats most fully of those branches of physiology which have a direct bearing on the diagnosis and treatment of disease. The work is one which we can highly rer*ommend to all our readers.—Dublin Journal of Medical Science, Feb/83. From the first appearance of the book it has been a favorite, owing as well to the author's renown as an oral teacher as to the charm of simplicity with which, as a writer, he always succeeds in investing even intricate subjects. It must be gratifying to him to observe trie fre. quency with which his work, written for students and pr'aititioners, is quoted by other writers on physiology. This fact attests its value, and, in great measure, its originality. It now needs no such seal of approbation, however, for the thou- sands who have studied it in its various editions FOSTER, 3IICHAEL, 31. I)., F. R.

A REVIEW OF THE FIFTH ENGLISH EDITION IS APPENDED. It is delightful to meet a book which deserves I tions, and his energies are not frittered away and only unqualified praise. Such a book is now before degenerated on petty and trivial details. Review- us. It is in all respects an ideal text-book. With a ing this volume as a whole we are justified in say- complete, accurate and detailed knowledge of his ing that it is the only thoroughly good text-book subject, the author has succeeded in giving a of physiology in the English language, and that it thoroughly consecutive and philosophic account is probably the best text-book in any language, of the science.

In this book the author has endeavored to meet the wants of the student of medicine or phai maey in regard to his chemical studies, and he has suc- ceeded in presenting his subject so clearly that no one who really wishes to acquire a fair knowledge of chemistry can fail to do so with the help of this work. The largest section of the book is naturally that devoted to the consideration of the carbon compounds, or organic chemistry. An excellent feature is the introduction of a number of plates showing the various colors of the most important chemical reactions of the metallic salt-*, of some of the alkaloids, and of the urinary tests, in the part treating of physiological chemistry (he section on analysis of the urine will he found very practi- eal, and well suited to the needsol the practitioner of medicine.— The Medical Record, May 25, 18fc>9.
