springs of the State, with over 150 analyses of waters. The 

 waters are divided into muriatic, alkaline, sulphatic, chalybeate, 

 and sulphur. The origin of each of these is briefly discussed. 

 The methods of analyses, classification, and therapeutic uses are 

 also considered. For those who are especially interested in 

 analyses of water and for the citizens of Missouri and other States 

 who desire a knowledge of the location and uses of the various 

 springs the volume is invaluable. It is a volume to be consulted 

 rather than one to be read. Joseph F. James.

A Handy Book for Brewers. Being a Practical Guide to the Art 

 of Brewing and Malting. By Herbert Edwards Wrioht, 

 M.A. London, Crosby, Lock wood, & Son. 530 p. 8° 

 Mr. Weight has, in the present volume, expanded and en- 

 larged an earlier work well known to the profession, entitled, "A 

 Handbook for Young Brewers," giving the conclusions of mod- 

 ern research in so far as they bear upon the practice of brewing, 

 as well as much practical detail, manipulative and structural. 

 Few books of the size other than mere statistical records contain 

 the amount of information herein included, and if the author has 

 sacrificed style to space it can not be considered a fault in this 

 instance. The book is not intended for general reading, but for 

 the student of brewing, and is to supplement rather than to sup- 

 plant practical teaching at the works. There is much, however, 

 that is of value to others, both to chemist and to general scient- 

 ist, as witness the excellent chapters on water, the laboratory, on 

 ferments and fermentation, yeasts, etc. The latter subjects in 

 particular are cleverly treated, and nowhere do we remember 

 seeing the various theories and hypotheses massed together so con- 

 veniently for comparison and ready reference. Complete details 

 of malting and brewing operations are carefully given, differing 

 customs are placed in juxtaposition, and in all cases the scienti- 

 fic discussion of chemical and vital changes accompanies the de- 

 scription of the process. It is unfortunate that the glossary orig- 

 inally planned as an appendix to the text was finally omitted, as 

 there are few industrial operations with more technical and 

 " shop " expressions than brewing, and the free use of these in 

 some of the chapters — the author resting, of course, upon his 



intended glossary — would be rather confusing to the uninitiated. 

 The subject is one of many ramifications, and as such could more 

 easily be handled in three volumes than in one, but Mr. Wright 

 has succeeded admirably with this difficult condensation, and has 

 omitted nothing essential to a thorough knowledge of the subject.

An Outline of the Documentary History of the ZuRi Tribe. By 

 A. F. Bandelier. Somatological Observations on Indians 

 of the Southwest. By Dr. Herman F.C. ten Kate. In a 

 Journal of American Ethnology and Arehceology. J. Walter 

 Fewkes, editor. Vol. III. Boston and New York, Hough- 

 ton, Mifflin, & Co. 1892. 

 The scientific work accomplished by theHemenway Expedition 

 is gradually becoming known to the world through the medium 

 of Dr. Fewkes's journal. The documentary history of the Zunis 

 during the 16th and 17th centuries, by Mr. Bandelier, is of ab- 

 sorbing interest and reflects the vast labor that had been expend- 

 ed in its compilation. In the identification of the Seven Cities of 

 Cibola with the ancient Zuni pueblos, the evidence formerly ad- 

 duced is made so conclusive, by the introduction of new data, that 

 it seems impossible for any one to fail to be convinced. The 

 events which led to the Pueblo uprising against the Spaniards in 

 1680 are minutely recorded. Probably half the paper is devoted 

 to copious notes and citations from original sources — principally 

 manuscripts now in the hands of the Expedition. On page 114, 

 the date of Fray Juan del Bal's arrival in New Mexico is given as 

 1771, instead of 1671, an obvious misprint, as the missionary was 

 killed in the revolt above alluded to. 



The second part of the volume is a summary report by Dr. ten 

 Kate of his anthropologic observations of the Pima, Papago, Mar- 

 icopa, Yuma and Zuni Indians, as well as of the human remains 

 found in the ruined puebles of the Salado Valley, Arizona, and in 

 one of the Cibolan cities. Although the investigations of Dr. ten 

 Kate and Mr. Gushing were from totally different points of view 

 they unite in the conclusion that " the pre-Columbian Arizonians 

 were closely related to the Zunis of to-day." In the opinion of 

 Dr. ten Kate the types of North American Indians are not exclu- 

 sively American, but present only the characteristics of the Mon_

THE MODERN MALADY; or, Suf- 

 ferers from 'Nerves.' 



An introduction to public consideration, 

 from a non-medical point of view, of a con- 

 dition of ill-health which is increasingly 

 prevalent in all ranks of society. In the 

 first part of this work the author dwells on 

 the errors in our mode of treating Neuras- 

 thenia, consequent on the wide ignorance of 

 the subject which still prevails; in the sec- 

 ond part, attention is drawn to the principal 

 causes of the malady. The allegory forming 

 the Introduction to Part I. gives a brief his- 

 tory of nervous exhaustion and the modes of 

 treatment which have at various times been 

 thought suitable to this most painful and try- 

 ing disease.
