 ond German edition, with Notes, by Lucius D. Bulkley, A. M.,

 The diseases treated in this work are divided into nine classes: 

 I, anomalies of secretion; 2, infiamation; 3, hivmorrhages; 4, 

 hypertrophies; 5, atrophies; 6, new formations; 7, pigmentary 

 anomelies; 8, neuroses; 9, parasitic diseases. One might infer 

 from the title of this book that it is merely a practical work for 

 a busy practitioner, giving attention mostly to diagnosis and 

 treatment, but it is more tii;in that, the pathological anatomy 

 receives much more attention than any other woik published in 

 this country. It is carried cpiite in ad\-ancc of the general pro- 

 fession, and will be found a reliable authority. 



Anccsthesia, Hospitalism, Hermap/irGditsvi, and a Proposal to 

 Stamp out Small-pox and other Contat^ions Diseases. By 

 Sir James Y. Simpson, Bart., M. D., D. C. L., Late Professdr 

 of Midwifery in the University of I-'.dinburgh. Edited by Sir 

 W. G. Simpson Bart., B. A., Scholar of Gonville and Caius 

 College. Cambridge. Pul)lishcd by 1). Applcton vS: Co. 549

 The article on anaesthesia is a collection of the pa'pers written by 

 Prof Simpson from the time of the discovery of anaesthesia and 

 its employment in surgery, up to 1S70, the date of the last 

 paper. They relate to the history, defence, application and au- 

 thenticity of the discovery of anaesthesia and ancesthetic agents ; 

 The subject of Hospitalism shows the advantage of private prac- 

 tice over hospital in amputations, also the increased mortality in 

 all diseases, in hospitals, and how our hospitals could be made 

 more salubrious.
