94 THE MICROSCOPE. 
to members of the association, there is much in Mr. Ballard’s book 
of interest to the general reader,—and we know of no better guide » 
for the beginner in any department of natural history. The book 
does not teach, but it points out the way and the literature of the 
subject. An excellent portrait of Prof. Agassiz is the frontispiece. 
ANIMAL PuysioLocy. By Wm. 8. Furneaux. Longmans, Green & Co., 
London and New York. 
A bright little book, both outside and in. Old truths in new 
lights are so arranged that the matter reads like a story. The work 
is profusely illustrated and makes a good hand-book for elementary 
schools. 
THE DETROIT JOURNAL YEAR Book For 1889. Pp. 117, Paper. 25 cents. 
By mail, 30 cents. 
This little book contains a vast amount of information on all 
sorts of subjects. The facts which every one forgets, but frequently 
desires to know, are collected and tabulated for ready reference. It 
is one of the best of its class. 
Bricuts Disease. By Alfred L. Loomis, M. D. Physician’s Leisure Lib- 
rary. Paper. Pp. 112. Price, 25 cents. Geo. 8. Davis, Detroit. 
To those acquainted with Dr. Loomis’ writings, we need not say 
that this volume contains a full and modern exposition of the subject. 
It discusses not only Bright’s disease proper, but many other patho- 
logical conditions of the kidney. The lines on treatment are especi- 
ally valuable and deserve careful reading. 
DIsEASES OF THE KipNEys. By Dujardin Beaumetz, M. D. Physicians’ 
Leisure Library. Paper. Pp. 161. Price 25 cents. Geo. S. Davis, 
Detroit. 
This is another of Dr. Hurd’s excellent translations of Beau- 
metz’ works. Though not exhaustive in its treatment of the subject, 
it contains much that is new to our therapeutics of the diseases of the 
kidney.
