NIGHTINGALE. Notes on Nursing: Wuar iris, anp wuart IT Is 
NOT. 
By Fiorencre NicHTINGALE, 
12mo. 140 pages. Cloth, '75 cents. 
These notes are meant to give hints for thought to those who have personal charge of the health of 
others. 
Every-day sanitary knowledge, or the knowledge of nursing, or, in other words, of how to put the 
constitution In such a state as that it will have no disease or that it can recover from disease, is pee 
nized as the knowledge which every one ought to have—distinct from medical knowledge, which on ly 
a profession can have. 
OSWALD. Physical Education; or, The Health Laws of Na- 
ture. 
‘‘Dr. Oswald is,a medical man of thorough 
preparation and large professional experience, and 
an extensively traveled student of nature’ and of 
men. While in charge of a military hospital at 
Vera Cruz, his own health broke down from lon; 
exposure in a malarial region, and he then struc 
for the Mexican mountains, where he became di- 
rector of another medical establishment. He has 
also journeyed extensively in Europe, South 
America, and the United States, and always as an 
open-eyed, absorbed observer of nature and of 
men. The ‘Physical Education’ is one of the 
most wholesome and valuable books that have 
emanated from the American press in many a day. 
Not only can everybody understand it, and, what 
is more, fcel it, but everbody that gets it will be 
certain to read and re-read it. We have known of 
the positive and most salutary influence of the 
papers as they appeared in the ‘ Monthly,’ and the 
extensive demand for their publication in a separate 
torm shows how they have been appreciated. Let 
those who are able and wish to do good buy it 
wholesale and give it to those less able to obtain 
it.’— The Popular Science Monthly. 
‘“« Here we have an intelligent and sensible treat- 
ment of a subject of great importance, viz., physi- 
cal education. We give the headings of some of 
the chapters, viz.: Diet; In-door Life; Out-door 
Life; Gymnastics; Clothing; Sleep ; Recreation ; 
Remedial Education ; Hygienic Precautions; Pop- 
ular Fallacies. These topics are discussed in a 
plain, common-sense style suited to the popular

mind. Books of this character can not be too 
widely read.”— Albany (WV. Y.) Argus. 
“Dr. Oswald is as epigrammatic as Emerson, 
as spicy as Montaigne, and as caustic as Heine. 
And yet he is‘a pronounced vegetarian. His first 
chapter is devoted to a consideration of the diet 
suitable for human beings and ‘infants. In the 
next two he contrasts life in and out of doors. He 
then gives his ideas on the subjects of gymnastics, 
clothing, sleep, and recreation. He suggests a sys- 
tem of remedial education and hygienic pre- 
cautions, and he closes with a diatribe against 
popular fallacies,”’—Phzladelphia Press. 
‘Tt is a good sign that books on physical train- 
in mule in this age of mental straining. Dr. 
ix L. Oswald, author of the above book, may 
be somewhat sweeping in his statements and be- 
liefs, but every writer who, like him, clamors for 
simplicity, naturalness, and frugality in diet, for 
fresh air and copious exercise, is a benefactor. Let 
the dyspeptic and those who are always troubling 
themselves and their friends about their manifol 
ailments take Dr. Oswald’s advice and look more 
ie i aliments and their exercise.’’"—New York 
erald. 
“One of the best books that can be put in the 
hands of young men and women. It is very inter- 
esting, full of facts and wise suggestions. It points 
out needed reforms, and the way we can become a 
strong and healthy people. It deserves a wide 
circulation.”’—Boston Commonwealth.

This valuable work, embracing the results of many years of successful experience in the department 
of which it treats, will prove most acceptable to the entire 
author and his knowledge of the subject combine to make t 
rofession ; while the high standing of the 
e book the best in the language. Fully 
illustrated, and abounding with information, the result of a prolonged study of the subject, the work 
should be in the hands of every physician in the country. : 
“Tn closing our review of this work, we can not 
avoid again expressing our appreciation of the 
thorough study, the careful and honest statements, 
and candid spirit, which characterize it. For the 
use of the student we should give the preference 
to Dr. Peaslee’s work, not only from its complete- 
ness, but from its more methodical arrangement.” 
—American Journal of the Medical Sciences. 
“© We deem its careful perusal indispensable to 
all who would treat ovarian tumors with a good 
eonscience.”—American Journal of Obstetrics, 
“Jt shows prodigal industry, and embodies 
within its five hundred and odd pages pretty much 
all that seems worth knowing on the subject of 
ovarian diseases.” — Philadelphia Medical Times.
