 quite exhaustive statement of its subject. What Hospitals do, for whom they do it, by whose help, 

 and at whose cost, are every one of them questions of the profoundest interest, and they find their 

 answer here." — Spectator.

 relief." — Guardian.

By W. Q. AITCHISON ROBERTSON, M.D., D.Sc, F.R.C.P.Ed., 



Author of " On the Growth of Dentine," " The Digestion of Sugars," etc. 

 " Students and practitioners ought to welcome heartily a handbook like the one before us, which con- 

 tains the facts and nothing else, which without any pretence of literary veneer accurately and succinctly 

 offers to one who is about to undertake the chemical or microscopical investigation of any specimen or 

 any organ, just those points which he ought to know, describes exactly the methods he ought to pursue, 

 mentions the things he ought to have at hand, and, if we may be allowed the expression, gives a recipe 

 for the making of the investigation." — Hospital.
