one familiar with the subject will appreciate. Other illustrations 
from Chanveau and Lyh increase the value of the work. 
Anatony of the Horse can be considered as the only book of its 
kind in the English language, one that no student can be without, 
and for which the English speaking veterinary profession can 
justly be thankful to the author. 
MANUAL OF EQUINE MEDICINE, by J. B. Gresswell, M.R.C.V.S., Etc., 
and A. Gresswell, M.R.C.V.S., England, Eto. (W. R. Jenkins, N. Y., 
Bailliere, Tindall & Co., London.) 
This is the title of a nice little book of about 400 pages, 
divided into twelve chapters, in which the authors have attempted 
the difficult task of concisely and clearly presenting to the reader 
the principal facts of equine pathology. 
At first it seems that the undertaking is impossible. Messrs. 
Gresswell have succeeded well, aud while many of the diseases 
are altogether treated too superficially aud too concisely , the 
reading of several chapters will well pay those who will carefully 
study them. 
Chapter 3, on vegetable parasites and the germ theory, etc., 
Chapter 11, which offer to the reader the subject of eutozoa, and 
Chapter 12, which treats of toxicology, are as complete as a little 
work of that size can be expected to be. 
Manual of Equine Medicine will no doubt prove in the hands 
of many a valuable addition to a veterinary library. 
CONTROLLING SEX IN GENERATION, by S. II. Terry. (Fowler & Wells 
Co., N. Y.) 
In this little book the author refers to a series of observations 
and investigations that he has made on the influence that physical 
law seems to have in controlling sex in the embryo of man and 
brute. We can recommend its reading, though we as veterinarians, 
would have been glad to see more on this subject relating to our 
domestic animals. The four and a half pages that speak of the 
application of the physical law in our domestic animals, are alto¬ 
gether insufficient to cover the subject, and to present the numerous 
evidences the author might have gathered for the good of the 
theory he is trying to introduce.
