 William H. Howell, Ph. D., M. D., Sc. D., LI. D. 1 professor of 

 physiology in the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore | fifth edition, 

 thoroughly revised ] Philadelphia and London | W. B. Saunders Com- 

 pany I 1913. Cloth, pp. 1020, 306 figures, $4 net. 



Professor Howell's textbook, since its first appearance, has 

 been the best presentation of this subject for the use of medical 

 students. It is particularly fortunate that the demand for the 

 book has been so great that frequent revisions are possible. The 

 physician or student will find in the text the more significant 

 advances in this science almost to date.

A Text-book of | General | Bacteriology | by | Edwin 0. Jordan, Ph. D. | 

 professor of bacteriology in the University of Chicago | and in Rush 

 Medical College [ [dash] I fully illustrated j [dash] | third edition, 

 thoroughly revised | Philadelphia and London | W. B. Saunders Com- 

 pany I 1913 i Cloth, pp. 1-623. 



The third edition of this already well-known and justly popu- 

 lar book deserves praise. The author has covered the ground 

 thoroughly, and the important material added to the chapters 

 on cholera, typhoid fever, and leprosy brings this edition well 

 up-to-date.

The I Microtomist's Vade-mecum \ a handbook of the methods of | micros- 

 copic j anatomy | by | Arthur Bolles Lee | seventh edition | Philadel- 

 phia i P. Blakiston's Son & Co. | 1012 Walnut Street | 1913 ! Cloth, 

 pp. i— X +1-526. Price, $4 net. 



Lee's Microtomist's Vade-mecum probably needs an introduc- 

 tion to but few laboratory workers in English-speaking coun- 

 tries. The first edition appeared in 1885 and has been kept up 

 to date by frequently revised editions. The seventh edition prob- 

 ably includes more accurate information on histological technique 

 than any other book in English, giving laboratory methods in 

 detail, and making them readily available by a comprehensive 

 index. The references to original articles is not one of the least 

 valuable parts of the book.
