upon the different parts, and under different 

 forms of administration. Tiie author began 

 her experiments for the investigation of the 

 cutaneous eruptions produced by iodine and 

 bromine, but soon found tlaat to form an 

 adequate conception of the etiology of tliese 

 cases it would be necessary to regard the 

 processes of iodisra and bromism in their 

 entity. Then she became convinced that 

 the processes were only a strong accentua- 

 tion of the symptoms, considered normal of 

 medication, to which little regard had been 

 attached. Thus her investigation gradually 

 became so thorough and far-extending that 

 she was brought to confine it for the present 

 to iodine, leaving bromine to a subsequent 

 research. 



StimulanU : Uses, and how best con- 

 served, by /. M. Emerson (Dick & Fitz- 

 gerald, 50 cents), considers the temper- 

 ance question from a point of view not 

 usually taken. The author I'cgards alcohol 

 as a natural product, having beneficent uses, 

 and seeks to separate those uses from the 

 abuses of strong liquors and intoxication. 

 While condemning all strong liquors, he 

 holds pure wines to be altogether good, and 

 believes that, with the exception of special 

 cases of uncontrollable inebreism, the use 

 of them tends to limit itself and is entirely 

 safe ; and that in their use lies the most 

 effectual method of breaking up the alco- 

 holic habit. 



The Invalid's Own Book, by the Honor- 

 able Lady Cust (Gottsberger, 60 cents), is a 

 collection of brief recipes for preparing a 

 wide variety of dishes and beverages. It 

 includes various teas, waters, milks, gruels, 

 jellies, puddings, soups, breads, sirups, and 

 punches, together with a few kinds of fish 

 and meat.
