is written in a pleasant reading manner, well piinted and bound. 
One more good addition to classical veterinary literature.. 
Precis de Pharmacie Veterinairepratique. By Mr. M. Ducasse, 
of over 500 pages with 40 illustrations; Asselin et Houzeau, Paris. 
A nice volume where, after a few general considei ations seven 
chapters present the subject of veterinary pharmacology in a 
concise, yet complete manner. The sixth and seventh chapteis 
contain a long list of the various veterinary preparations in use 
with the peculiar manners in which they are put up. The tinct¬ 
ures, various solutions, mixtures for baths, drenches, counter- 
irritants, electuaries, extracts, etc., etc., with their preparation, 
doses, indications, are not useful for the veterinarian who gener¬ 
ally makes his own drugs, as is commonly the case in country 
. practices and are well described in Mr. Ducasse’s work. A good 
similar work in English would no doubt prove very useful. 
A Manual of General Histology by W. S. Gottheil, M. D. 
(Sabiston, Murray & Co., New York.) 
A very concise book of just one hundred and sixty-eight 
pages, most interestingly written for beginners in the study of 
Histology; not doing justice however, to the well known ability 
of the author. 
Horses Teeth by W. H. Clark, (Wm. R. Jenkins, New York.) 
The fourth edition, re-revised of a work which contains as its pre¬ 
decessors many pages of valuable information, but which besides 
has a second appendix in which we notice four very interesting 
pages on the “Marks of the Equine Age among the Ancients.” 
Mr. Clarke deserves a good deal of credit for this special 
work and we hope he will receive ample proofs of the publics’ 
appreciation for it, specially from veterinarians. 
Eighth and Ninth Annual Reports of the Bureau of Animal 
Industry , 1893. Containing in detail the work accomplished dur¬ 
ing 1891 and 1892, and with its several additional articles on the 
“Condition of the Poultry and Egg Industry” by Dr. J. A. Dodge; 
on the “Mule, its uses etc., etc.” by Mr. J. L. Jones; on “The 
Bottom Disease” in South Dakota, by Dr. E. Schroeder.
