The Veterinarian's Visiting List or Professional Diary. Compiled by D. P. Yonk- 
erman, V. S., Kalamazoo, Mich. New York : William Wood & Co. 
Under this title Dr. Yonkerman presents to the profession a 
pocket visiting list and reference book, much resembling the 
one which Dr. Bell has issued for the past five or six years. 
The code of signs differs somewhat as do the tables embraced in 
the front of the diary as, for instance, there is a table of the 
doses of the chief alkaloids used by veterinarians and one for 
the principal hypodermic solutions. A number of formnlse are 
also incorporated, and a list of the defects for which horses ex¬ 
amined for soundness are usually condemned. The publishers 
have presented it in convenient size for the pocket, and will 
mail it to any address on receipt of #1.25. 
Practical Toxicology for Physicians and Students. By Prof. Dr. Rudolf 
Robert, late Director ot the Pharmacological Institute, Dorpat, Russia. Translated 
and edited by L. H. Friedburg, Ph. D. New York : W. R. Jenkins, Publisher, 
851-853 Sixth Avenue. 
This standard work of Robert has been translated with the 
idea of giving practitioners and students practical knowledge of 
toxicology without going too deeply into the mysteries and intri¬ 
cacies of chemistry. It may be said that the translator has 
admirably succeeded, for the comprehensive tables into which 
the subject is largely condensed give at a glance all that is 
necessary for the practitioner to know of the general subject, 
while the student can grasp a comprehension of the range of 
toxicology from them, in the light of the explanatory chapters 
preceding them. 
Nothing of a like nature exists in English literature, and 
we can truly say that no veterinary library is complete without 
a copy of the work, which may be obtained of the publisher at 
$2.50.
