The Essentials of Physical DL\GNOsrs of the Chest and 

 Abdomen. By J. Wallace Anderson, M.D. i2mo, pp. viii. — 156. (Glasgow: 

 James Maclehose and Sons. 1889.) 



The author was induced to write this book in consequence of having a 

 difficulty of referring a class of junior students to a simple, concise work on the 

 subject, and in the hope that those beginning the study of medicine might find 

 it of service. It is very clearly written, and will doubtless prove of much 

 assistance to the student.

 Wilson, The Mechanism of the Heart, The Physiology of the Vascular System,

when they are ill ; A Guide to Mothers. By Robert Bell, ^LD. Crown Svo, pp. 

 viii. — 232. (Glasgow: David Bryce and Son. 1889.) Price 2s. 6d. 



The information conveyed in this little book is as free from technicalities as it 

 is possible to be ; it is given in very concise language, and treats of all the common 

 diseases tc which infants and young people are suVjject. The author states in the 

 preface that it must be borne in mind that it is always desirable to call in the family 

 medical attendant at the earliest opportunity when disease exists, and only in his 

 unavoidable absence, or until he arrives, should one trust to the guidance afforded 

 by any book.

Another useful book by the same author, it contains a large amount of 

 information, written in language which will be readily understood.
