Tables for Doctor and Druggist. — Compiled by Dr. Eli H. 

 Long, 8 vo., pp. 133, Detroit: Geo. S.Davis. Price $2.09 — 

 To be able to commend an author's work with no dash of ad- 

 verse criticism, is a pleasure seldom felt by the reviewer, that 

 must often appear either hypercritical or derelict of duty. But 

 here there is no dilemma to trouble. The book is in every way 

 praise-worthy and valuable, and it exactly fills a place that no 

 other book has before even tried to fill. To many a doctor and 

 many a druggist it will be a godsend. It contains a table of 

 solubilities, the substances being ari'anged in alphabetical order, 

 and their solubility given in water, in alcohol and in certain 

 other solvents ; a table of reactions and incompatibles ; of doses 

 and uses, in which is given the genitive case-ending of each sub- 

 stance, an arrangement that must be especially welcome to those 

 doctors and druggists that are weak in their genitive ; a table of 

 specific gravities, and one of poisons and antidotes. There are 

 few persons, whatever their profession or vocation, that can fail 

 to find this book a valuable one to have within reach at any 

 moment. From it may be had, at a single glan-je, information 

 to be found elsewhere only after long and tedious search. It 

 merits a wide circulation and much careful consulting.
