NOTICES OF BOOKS. 



The Twelve Tissue Remedies of Schiissler. By William Boericke, M. D., and W. A. 

 Dewey, M. D. 303 pp., 8vo : Phila. Hahnemann Publishing House. 



In addition to all that Schiissler wrote is presented a large accumulation of homoeo- 

 pathic experience. The book is for the profession, which is exhorted to prove these 

 remedies and to confirm Schussler's methods. 



These 12 remedies are Phosphate of Lime, Fluoride of Lime, Gypsum, Phosphate of 

 Iron, Chloride of Potassium, Phosphate of Potash, Sulphate of Potash, Phosphate of 

 Magnesia, Chloride of Sodium, Phosphate of Soda, Sulphate of Soda, Silicic Oxide. 



Chapter I contains a general treatment of the subject, its histoi'y, theory, &c. Chapter 

 II describes each of the 12 remedies. Chapter III describes the treatment for each 

 disease. Chapter IV is a magnificent repertory of symptorns and the treatment for each. 



The index is not very good. The typography and mechanical execution reflect 

 very great credit upon Mr. F. E. Boericke, the publisher. We congratulate these San 

 Francisco doctors upon their valuable contribution to homoeopathy. 



A Popular Mineralogy and Geology. By Katherine E. Hogan. 69 pp., i2mo. A. 

 Lovell & Co. New York. 

 This little volume, which is illustrated with a dozen plates, and made up of very short 

 chapters, was evidently intended for children. The cuts are not expensive, the typog- 

 raphy and binding are economical, and, hence, the cost is so moderate that no finan- 

 cial objection can be raised against the book. Its opening sentence, ' In the beginning 

 God created the heavens and the earth,' &c., will, perhaps, indicate its religious char- 

 acter. Its mineralogy is limited chiefly to 4 pages on 'the metals,' and to about,3 

 pages on rocks. The words geology and mineralogy were doubtless used not to put 

 forth the claim to distinction as such, but for lack of a better title with which to cover 

 a collection of easily understood facts about the planet we live on.
