to be very instructive to the student, who, after a few dissections, 
can get a better fixed idea of the important embryonic relations. 
Since most of the medical schools are now equipped with ef- 
ficient libraries, a bibliography should always accompany the 
textbook. The author here has neglected to supply one. A 
bibliography should be included in ali modern textbooks, so that 
a student may, of his own initiative, look up original articles 
and thereby become better acquainted with the men who have 
done fundamental work along the same line.

The author has composed a very valuable book on an interest- 
ing and important subject. He has succeeded in making a 
readable work, which should prove of value not only to the 
specialist but more particularly to the general practician. The 
sections dealing with “Prophylaxis” and “The investigation of 
cancer cures” are especially worthy of commendation. A large 
biblicgraphy and a full index, also, add to the qualifications of 
this book.

The seventh edition of Stewart’s Physiology is brought en- 
tirely up-to-date. The arrangement of the book has been im- 
proved by breaking the longer chapters up into sections. The 
chapter on metabolism is greatly enlarged and practically re- 
written and is worthy of special mention. 
This edition ranks as high as its predecessors, and to my 
opinion it meets the requirements of both teachers and students, 
being practical, up-to-date, and readable.
