In concluding thi" ra|>iil survey of the periodical 

 literature of the world, mention should 1- made 

 of the latest born and most polyjilot of monthlies, 

 \\\e PtiHtobiblion, amagazine puhlished inSt I'-ter>- 

 liur^ in no fewer than lifteen dill'ereiit lan^nai 

 aims at providing profetaional and -rii-milii- men of 

 all ciiiintries with a clue to the wriodical literature, 

 technical and scientific, of all the world. It is like 

 a periodical monument reared to the memoiy of 

 the Tower of Babel. 



Poole's Index to Periodical Literature, dictionary 

 of the more important articles in the quarterlies, 

 monthlies, and many weeklies, is edited by a Chicago 

 librarian. Stead's |>opular Indix to the l'<-riml<fntt >( 

 1890 haa been iiwucd in Ixnnliin, and the pnl.1.. 

 to be continued annually. See also the articles NKWS- 

 PAPKR and BOOK-TRADE in this work.

 of the alHive causes, is usually accompanied with 

 considerable nocturnal pain. If the disease occurs 

 in nn acute form it must be treated with leeches, 

 fomentation*, and the other ordinary antitihlo^isl ic 

 remedies. If severe, an incision through the in- 

 flamed tuwue U sometimes the most effectual treat- 

 ment.
