If  there  has  been  any  hesitancy  on  the  part  of  any  to  contribute 
to  this  fund  we  cannot  but  believe  that  it  has  been  due  to  a  miscon- 
ception as  to  the  nature  of  the  movement  or  where  the  contributions 
should  be  sent.  We  hope  that  all  who  desire  to  contribute  to  this 
fund  will  remit  promptly,  so  that  the  work  of  the  committee  may 
be  carried  on  without  further  delay. 
All  contributions  should  be  sent  to  either  Prof.  Virgil  Coblentz„ 
115  West  Sixty-eighth  Street,  New  York  City,  N.  Y.,  or  to  S.  A.  D. 
Sheppard,  11 29  Washington  Street,  Boston,  Mass. 
REVIEWS  AND   BIBLIOGRAPHICAL  NOTICES. 
A  Laboratory  Manual  of  Urinary  Analysis.  By  Robert  A, 
Hatcher,  Professor  of  Materia  Medica  and  Director  of  the  Labora- 
tory of  Urinary  Analysis,  in  the  Cleveland  School  of  Pharmacy; 
Demonstrator  of  Pharmacology  in  the  Medical  Department  of 
Western  Reserve  University.  1902. 
The  object  of  the  present  work  has  been  to  prepare  a  manual 
which  will  give  concise  but  sufficient  directions  for  the  examination 
of  urine  for  clinical  purposes.  It  may  be  compared  to  a  good  note- 
book  recording  thorough  work  or  an  abridged  dictionary  for  ready 
reference.  The  work  includes  a  treatment  of  the  microscopical 
examination  of  the  urinary  sediments,  as  well  as  qualitative  and 
quantitative  chemical  tests.  The  whole  work  is  included  in  forty 
pages  and  ought  to  encourage  the  interest  of  both  physicians  and 
pharmacists  in  a  work  of  this  character,  which  can  be  performed  so 
readily  and  is  so  valuable  in  the  diagnosis  of  disease.
