This French work is written by a thorough sanitarian, with 
the intention of calling attention not only to the deficiency of 
the industry of rendering in France, but also to the great many 
advantages and benefits that can be derived by proper organ¬ 
ized establishments with, modern machineries and similar im¬ 
provements. 
In many parts of Europe these industries are well organized 
—the work is carried out in them in a manner which is far ahead 
of what it used to be, the results obtained are such that the 
notion of old time, that in a dead animal only the skin was of 
value, must be forgotten in the presence of the valuable products 
which can now be obtained by proper improved processes. 
The work of Mr. Martel is presented handsomely printed, 
containing in 366 pages a minute description of the work in ren¬ 
dering establishments. It is illustrated by 122 plates and the 
contents are divided into 27 chapters. Amongst which, after 
considering the old methods of rendering and their imperfec¬ 
tions and describing the modern processes with their advantages, 
some of the modern rendering establishments in Europe are re¬ 
ferred to. The French legislation, the professional diseases, or 
those to which the men working in those establishments are ex¬ 
posed, and finally the legislation in some foreign countries. 
Mr. Martel is already well known as a thorough sanitarian; 
he has already published other works on that specialty; his jour¬ 
nal, rHygiene de la Viande et du Lait, is well known, and does 
good work; he is an authority. His last effort will certainly re¬ 
ceive the appreciation that it deserves.
