RECENT PUBLICATIONS. 



New Truths in Ophthalmology as developed by G, C. 

 Savage, M. D., third edition. 12° square. 270 pp. 58 illus- 

 trations. 



This enlarged edition appears to have been necessitated by 

 the criticisms of Eaton, llotz and Wilson, to meet those 

 strictures. Three new chapters have been added. Dr. Savage 

 thanks his critics for having in their own way aided him in pre- 

 senting more clearly his views on oblique astigmatism and the 

 oblique muscles. 



There is a new chapter on treatment of insufficiency of the 

 obliques. The development of weak ciliary muscles and the 

 prevention of presbyopia receive generous consideration. 



Dr. Savage is taking front rank among the opthalmologists 

 of the day and as a writer on the subject. Everyone who 

 treats eyes ought to know something which he can tell and 

 the book should be a text-book in college classes studying the 

 eye. 



Our notice must be brief because microscopy is not involved 

 in his theme but we cordially commend the book to those who 

 are interested in the technique of the subject.
