GROSS & DELBRIDGE’S MEDICAL WORKS. 5 
KEY-NOTES OF MEDICAL PRACTICE. 
By CHARLES GATCHELL, M. D., formerly Professor 
of the Theory and Practice of Medicine, University 
of Michigan; Attending Physician to Cook County 
Hospital; Author of “How to Feed the Sick,” 
‘Treatment of Cholera,” “ Haschisch,” etc. Pocket 
Book. Flexible leather. 217 pages. Fourth edi- 
tion, revised and enlarged. $2.00. Postage. 4 cents. 
This is a complete hand-book of Medicine, Surgery and Obstetrics 
and is in such form as to actually go into the pocket, making it a 
veritable vade-mecum. 
When I began practice such a book would have been worth a 
hundred dollars to me.—A. C. Cowperthwaite, MW. D. 
Really an excellent compendium of ail that the practitioner wants 
to have at hand.—Dr. Richard Hughes, England. : 
This is the book for which I have been waiting for many years.—- 
Dr. Sanders. 
The exceeding usefulness of this handsome pocket book, which is 
designed to be taken out and referred to as an account book, makes 
Prof. Gatchell’s condensation and selection of just what one wishes at a 
moment's notice the best guide in emergencies which the practitioner 
can have on his rounds. As a ready reference compendium we have 
never seen its equal. The key-notes for the selection of remedies are 
really what they are called, and the general measures recommended 
will be verified in practice. No one except a trained teacher, literary 
craftsman, careful student and successful physician could have collated 
such a handy epitome of Practical Medicine —Worth Am. Fournal of 
Hom. _ 
Prof. Gatchell has written what might be styledan Emergency Prac- 
fice. He gives attention to all those diseases upon which a young physi- 
cian may be called for an opinion at any moment. He omits all theor- 
izing. and gives in the tersest possible style just what a doctor wants to 
know when he is face to face with a critical case. Here is a book which 
looks just like a private memorandum book, which nobody need feel sensitive 
about pulling out and consulting. We wish we could put a copy of this 
book into every student's hand that ts about to graduate this Spring. Lt 
would aid him to become a skilled practitioner, if he would thoughtfully 
consult it in every case in which he was called, and would thus do much 
to prevent hasty and ill-considered prescribing.— Te American Homeo- 
path.
