EVETZKY. The Physiological and Therapeutical Action of 
Ergot. Being the Joseph Mather Smith Prize Essay for-1881. By 
Erienne Evetzky, M.D. 8vo. Limp cloth, $1.00. 
“Tn undertaking the present work my object was to present in a condensed manner all the thera- 
peutic possibilities of ergot. In a task of this nature, original research is out of the question. No 
man’s evidence is sufficient to establish the merits of a drug considered in the manner indicated, and 
no one man’s opportunities are sufficient to grasp the entire subject. Ctnsequently it remained to gather 
from the volumes of past and current periodical litcrature the testimony of the multitude of. physicians 
I have recorded everything that has 
come to my notice, I have grouped and classified the immense material in our possession. In all cases 
in which the action of ergot could be explained I have attempted to do so, although this task is fre- 
quently difficult, if not impossible. . . . The reader will see that ergot has been used in a large number 
of diseases; some of these uses have little or no practical value, yet it is very important to know them, 
as they serve to illustrate the therapeutic properties of the drug. They have been brought to the notice 
of the reader without any comments, but those that are essential and of the prentest practical impor- 
tance have been dealt with more aoe Among the latter may be mentioned the use of ergot in inflam- 
mation, aneurism, cardiac diseases, the post-parturient state, uterine fibroid tumors, rheumatism, ete.”

“ Flint’s Physiology needs no introduction to 
the profession, as it has been a standard text-book 
since its first appearance in 1875. In this edition 
the text has been entirely rewritten, and all the 
new facts that have been established are intro- 
duced, so that it is essentially a new treatise, the 
changed form and typography of the ‘book, also 
giving it the countenance of a stranger, until we 
trace in the general plan and arrangement the old, 
familiar lineaments of its predecessors. Chbsolete 
matter, peculiar views and theories, historical 
references, lengthy descriptions of experimental 
methods and apparatus have all been wisely 
omitted. So also of minute anatomy, which has 
only been considered incidentally, and consigned 
to its proper place in works on anatomy. 
2p The object being to make a text-book of 
physiology only recognized and well-established 
acts have been presented; but no pains have been 
spared to present these in such a clear and con- 
nected manner as to give the student the plainest 
sailing possible. With this end in view, great im- 
, provements have been made in the illustrations.
