Fourth American from the fourth London edition. In one hand- some octavo volume of 609 pages, with 81 illustrations. Cloth, §3.50. The previous editions of this book have made it The peculiar value and finish of the book are in so familiar to and so highly esteemed by the med- a measure derived fi'om its resolute maintenance ical public, that little more is necessary than a of a clinical and practical character. It is an un- mere announcement of the appearance of this, rivalled exposition of everything which relates their successor. But it is pleasant to be able to directly or indirectly to the diagnosis, prognosis say that, good as those were, this is still better In fact, we think it may be said to be the best book in print on the subject of which it treats.— The Ainerican Journal, of the Medical Sciences.—Jan. 1886. Among the numerous works on renal and uri- nary diseases now in circulation, perhaps Dr. Roberts' has the best claim to be regarded as standard. The present edition shows evidence of having been carefully revised, and appears to be well up to the times. Dr. Roberts' book is an eminently useful and nraotical one, and we con- gratulate the author oh its deserved popularity with the profession.—Chicago Medical Journal and Examiner, February, 1886. and treatment of urinary diseases, and possesses a completeness not found elsewhere in our lan- guage in its account of the different affections.— The Manchester Meiiical Chronicle, July, 1885. Tlie work is practical in its character, and is regarded as an authority in the diseases which it treats. There is certainly no work that more fully sets forth the progress that has been made than this one of Dr. Roberts, and that more fully meets the wants of the physician in explaining the best methods of treatment. We have no hesitation in recommending it to our subscribers. —Cincinnati Medical News, June, 1885. PVRDY, CMARLBS W., A, M., M. D, Bright's Disease and Allied Disorders.
