Brit. AND For. MEp. REVIEW. “We cordially recommend Dr. Pereira’s valuable book to the notice of our readers. It contains a mass of useful matter—scientific, practical, and interesting—so methodically digested and arranged as to be instantly available; and containing, as it does, all the recent results obtained by organic analysis, verified and reduced to practice, it is indispensable to the medical profession.”—DuUBLIN MEDICAL JOURNAL. ** The department of the work which describes the twelve alimentary principles, viz. water, mucilage, saccharine matter, starch, lignine, pectine, acid, alcohol, oil, proteine, gelatine, and salt, is worthy of attentive study. We may also call especial attention to the section in which, in discussing the uses of the alcoholic principle, some views thatare entertainedand propagated by the advocates of teetotalism are combated. The chapter on compound aliments is full of useful matter, and has evidently been elaborated with the same minute care that we have noticed as the peculiarity of Dr. Pereira’s style.”—LANCET.
