definitely, the action of the drugs employed on the healthy body in 

 medicinal doses, from the smallest to the largest ; to deduce simple 

 practical conclusions from the facts observed ; and then to apply the 

 drug to the relief of the particular conditions to which its action 

 appeared suited. Many experiments have been made by the author 

 both on men and the lower animals ; and the author's endeavour 

 has been to present to the mind, as far as -words may do, impres- 

 sions of the actual condition of the individual subjected to the 

 drug. " Those who are interested generally in the progress of 

 medical science will find much to repay a careful perusal.'''' —

Hood (Wharton).— ON BONE-SETTING (so called), and 

 its Relation to the Treatment of Joints Crippled by Injury, Rheu- 

 matism, Inflammation, etc. etc. By Wharton P. Hood, 

 M.D., M.R.C.S. Crown Svo. 4s. 6d. 



The author for a period a t tended the London practice of the late Mr. 

 Ilutton, the famous and successful bone-setter, by whom he was 

 initiated into the mystery of the art and practice. Thus the author 

 is amply qualified to -write on the subject from the practical point of 

 view, while his professional education enables him to consider it in 

 its scientific and surgical bearings. In the present work he gives a 

 brief account of the salient features of a bone-setter's method of pro- 

 cedure in the treatment of damaged joints, of the results of that treat- 

 ment, and of the class of cases in which lie has seen it prove successful. 

 The author's aim is to give the rationale of the bone-setter's practice, 

 to reduce it to something like a scientific method, to show when force 

 should be resorted to and when it should not, and to initiate 

 surgeons into the secret of Mr. Button's successful manipulation. 

 Throughout the -work a great number of authentic instances <>/ 

 successful treatment are given, with the details of the method of 

 cure ; and the Chapters on Manipulations and Affections of the 

 Spine are illustrated by a number of appropriate and -well -executed 

 cuts. "L)r. Hood's booh is full of instruction, and should be read 

 by all surgeons." — Medical Times.
