 By Henry S. Drayton, A.M., M.D., and James McNeill, A.M. Crown 8vo, 

 pp. 354. (New York : Fowler, Wells, and Co. 1889.)

 glance at the bearing, which recent experiments and observations by leading 

 physiologists have upon the subject. It is illustrated with 124 engravings, many 

 lieing portraits of well-known, authors.

 far as they can be set forth in a condensed and popular form. It contains not
