veterinary medicine. To those of our profession, therefore, who 
were unfortunately without adequate instruction in this im¬ 
portant branch during student life, and to all others who wish 
to pursue the investigation of the many diseases of bacterial 
origin, the work of Dr. Moore will be found invaluable. Be¬ 
ginning at the very root of the subject, with a list of the ma¬ 
terials necessary to start the work, he carries the reader on 
through some sixty-four exercises to the study of the microor¬ 
ganisms of most diseases of animals and man. The instructions 
under each exercise are full, specific, and clear, and by an in¬ 
telligent adherence to them a person with some knowledge of 
the subject can pursue investigations with success. 
The reputation of the author is world-wide in the field of 
which he treats as a thorough and earnest investigator, with 
large experience and much ability, and his contributions to 
comparative pathology have been of so high an order that this 
latest volume will take its place as an indispensable addition to 
our literature, and the veterinarian’s library will fail to be com¬ 
plete unless it contains this work.

To modern pharmacy, and especially to modern manufactur¬ 
ing pharmacy, we are indebted for many of our most useful 
remedial aids. Without the valuable cooperation of such a 
vast and thoroughly equipped establishment as that of Parke, 
Davis & Co., for example, the medical profession might be 
most inconveniently handicapped. 
This work may be conveniently carried in the pocket or, 
being handsomely bound in flexible morocco, it may be per¬ 
mitted to ornament the office desk of the practitioner. 
To quote from the preface, “the purpose of the work is to 
place before the prescriber a means of perceiving at a glance 
all the available forms or pharmaceutical preparations of any 
drug now in vogue.” No secret combinations are referred to ; 
in every case the precise formula is given and in most instances 
the dose is appended, for obvious reasons. The “ Therapeutic 
Suggestions ” bear evidence of careful preparation and the list 
of diseases and symptoms is as nearly complete as practicable 
in a book of this kind. Various useful tables follow, while the 
bulk of the work is made up of the section of Materia Medica. 
This is a complete catalogue of drugs in general use, alphabeti¬ 
cally arranged, a plan which renders the task of finding a rem-
