An Astrology for Doctors.—By Alpheus. 217 pp.12 mo. 
Until within a century, physicians always used astrology 
and they used it more than all other people, but astrono- 
mers used italso. The great Kepler used it and was non- 
plussed because he failed in an attempt to predict the 
death of Wallenstein. The position of Uranus is now said 
to have caused it, but Uranus had not been discovered in 
Kepler’s time and had to be left out of his calculations. 
One of the most eminent physicians of Boston secretely 
uses astrology and told this author during the first hour 
of acquaintance with this author, then totally ignorant of 
the subject, that he would become a leader in astrology. 
This book in small compass, opens the whole subject, is 
beautifully bound and will be sent with the Microscopical 
Journal of 1901 for two dollars. You cannot afford in 
ignorance to ignore the matter. 
Sea-weeds.—Tabule Phycologice by Fr.T.Kuetzing, in 
19 volumes and index, has 1900 finely colored plates and 
sells for $500. A Leipzig book-seller, whose address we 
can give when requested by postal card, has undertaken 
to reprint volumes I-V, which alone are out of print, so 
as to sell complete sets for $125. provided a certain num- 
ber of orders appear. Kuetzing’s unique work is the 
greatest in existence on this subject and is indispensable 
for the study of sea-weeds. Our readers should seek to 
influence wealthy libraries in the U.8%., to supply our 
country with at least a few copies, We are taking the 
orders for it in America, _ 
Write to this Journal for circular.
