Veterinary medicine and surgery, E. F. Jarrel {Cincinnati, 1911, pp. 2Jf.'i, 

 pl_ ^). — A worli intended for use by the student and stockman. 



Text-book of toxicolog-y for veterinarians, B. Frohneb {LehrhucJi dcr 

 Toxikologie fiir Ticrdrzte. Stuttgart, 1910, 3. ed., pp. XI+391).—A revised 

 edition of this worli. 



New and nonofficial remedies, 1911 (Jour. Amer. Med. Assoc, 56 {1911), 

 No. 15, pt. 2, pp. 79). — This work contains the medicinal substances examined 

 prior to January 1, 1911, by the council of pharmacy and chemistry of the 

 American Medical Association, and which appeared to comply with the rules of 

 the council. 



Drug- therapy of the present time, M. Kahane {Die Arzneitliera'pie dcr 

 Gcgenwart. Berlin and Vienna, 1910, pp. VIII+603). — This is a description of, 

 and a discussion in regard to, the newer remedies. 



Ehrlich.'s biochemical theory; its conception and application, L. H. Marks 

 {Jour. Amer. Med. Assoc, 55 {1910), No. 23, pp. 1974-197S).—A general review 

 of Ehrlich's work in chemo-therapy. 



South. African poisonous plants, L. 11. Walsh {Cape Town, 1909, pp. 5}, 

 figs. 16). — Notes on South African plants poisonous to stock, with particulars 

 of symptoms and treatment. 



In regard to the color-ch.emical method of detecting some oxidizing sub- 

 stances of the body, W. Loele {Miinchen. Med. Wchnschr., 57 {1910), No. ^6, 

 pp. 2J)l.'i-2-'fl6). — A consideration of some of the chemical factors involved in 

 the staining of tissues and color reactions obtained with normal and patho- 

 logical body fluids." 



In regard to the bactericidal power of yeast and cereal maceration extracts, 

 A. Fernbach and E. Vulquin {Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. [Paris], 151 {1910), 

 No. 15, pp. 656-658; uhs. in Ztschr. Immunitatsf. ti. Expt. Thcr., II, Ref., 

 3 {1910), No. 7, p. 821). — The authors in their previous work have shown the 

 bactericidal power of yeast maceration extracts to be due to the presence of 

 volatile bodies which have the characteristics of amius. This work, which 

 was done with cereal extracts, indicates that the active principle here involved 

 is different from that which exists in yeast. 



In regard to the agglutination of Micrococcus melitensis by normal serum, 

 L. Negke {Compt. Rend. Soc Biol. [Paris], 69 {1910), No. 37, pp. 56-'i, 565).— 

 The author found that in certain instances an agglutination was obtained with 

 normal serum. He therefore recommends a procedure in which this error may 

 be eliminated. 



Sera of certain diseases which agglutinate both the Micrococcus meli- 

 tensis and the typhoid bacillus, L. NiiGRE {Compt. Rend. Soc. Biol. [Paris]. 

 69 {1910), No. 38, pp. 631-633).— The author found that serum from typhoid 

 cases agglutinated the M. melitensis, and that the sera from cases of Malta 

 fever were capable of agglutinating the typhoid bacillus. 



In regard to the relation of bacterial precipitins to agglutinins, S. Amir- 

 adzibi and Kaczynski {Ztschr. Immunitatsf. u. Expt. Thcr., I, Orig., 6 {1910), 

 No. 5, pp. 694-702; ahs. in Centbl. Bakt. [etc.], 1. AU., Ref., 48 {1911), No, 12, 

 pp. 361, 362). — The mixing test was found to be less sensitive than the layer 

 test when high-power sera were examined. On the other hand, the layer test 

 was unsatisfactory with low power rabbit sera, particularly so because positive 

 results were obtained with heterologous extracts. Normal sera were also found 

 to give a layer test with bacterial extracts.
