 tive Guide. By Millspaugh. (New York : Boericke and Tafel. i886. ) 



The fourth section (fascicle) of this very beautiful and vahiable work is to 

 hand. Like each of its predecessors, it contains 30 finely coloured plates, with 

 full descriptive letterpress, of medicinal plants. The author of this work is 

 well known in his own country as a physician, botanist, and artist, and in 

 bringing it out the publishers have engaged the highest order of typographic 

 and lithographic skill. Two more fascicles are required to complete the set. 

 The price of each section is $5.

 treats of Consumption, Dyspepsia, Climate, Fevers, Asthma, Nervous Mala-

 with the author in all his assertions, but at the same time we tind a deal of 

 good common sense in the book.
