The Human Body. By H. Newell Martin. 



In our review of this work in our last issue we spoke dispar- 

 agingly of the fact that the appendix on "reproduction" was in- 

 serted in what was otherwise such an admirable work. With the 

 appendix we could not recommend the work as a proper one in our 

 schools. Since writing said review our attention has been called to 

 the fact that an edition is issued without the appendix. We are 

 glad to make this correction, and it would be a very difficult matter 

 now to criticise this work or see how it could be better fitted to its 

 place. 



A Manual of Accidents and Emergencies, or how to avoid accidents and 

 what to do when they occur, with notes on the preservation of health. 

 By Geo. G. Groff, M. D., professor of physiology and natural history, in 

 University at Lewisburg, Pa., pp. 92. 1881. 



By carefully reading this book and retaining its teachings the 

 reader will be able and ready to act promptly and intelligently on 

 every emergency, and to ameliorate suffering until medical aid is 

 procured; for the book recognizes the necessity of the physician and 

 "send for a physician at once " are words repeated many times. 

 The table of "poisons and their antidotes" is a valuable one. 

 Rules for bathing; signs of death; health maxims; care of the eyes; 

 these are some of the headings. A great deal of condensed knowl- 

 edge of practical value in ninety-two pages. 



Handbook of Systematic Urinary Analysis, chemical and microscopical, 

 for physicians, medical students and clinical assistants. By Frank M. 

 Deems, M. D., Instructor in University of New York, etc. Published by 

 the Industrial Publication Company. Illustrated, pp. 30. 



This little work would make a large book if common sized type 

 were used and also if the tables were explained in the usual way. 



It is a time-saving work to the busy practitioner. The author 

 shows he is familiar with his subject, and that he appreciates the 

 convenience of a bedside reference-book and work-table companion. 

 It is a systematic arrangement of the various microscopical and 

 cnemical analyses of the urine.
