 148; 75 cents. In cloth, $1.25. P. Blakiston, Son & Co., 1012 Walnut

We have read this work with very much interest, and have 

 derived the very best practical help from it. The nervous head- 

 aches, and the whole class of headaches incidental to childhood, are 

 thoroughly discussed. Over 100 formulas are given adapted to 

 various conditions. The practitioner will not finish reading the 

 work before he will think of cases just adapted to the treatment 

 given. This book should be carefully perused by every physician. 

 Its pages will often be consulted.

Alcohol: As a Food, a Medicine, a Poison, and as a Luxury. By George C. 

 Pitzer, M. D., St. Louis, Mo. Price, 25 cents. 



This pamphlet is a reprint from the electroplates of the author's 

 forthcoming work on Direct Medication. The subject is strongly 

 discussed and some wholesome advice given. " No wonder the 

 drinking man has a bad breath. If young ladies would meet 

 fragrant breezes at the threshold of their future homes, they should 

 beward of men who touch, taste or handle this unclean thing."
