This  is  the  first  German  work  which  may  be  said  to  concern 
itself  primarily  with  the  investigation  of  drugs  in  a  powdered  form. 
The  present  volume  is  divided  into  two  parts:  (1)  A  general  part, 
including  methods  of  investigation,  and  (2)  the  consideration  of  the 
different  tissues  in  barks,  with  their  diagnostic  features.  The  barks 
considered  in  detail,  and  of  which  excellent  plates  are  given,  are 
Cortex  Aurantii  Fructus,  Cortex  Cascarillae  and  Cortex  Cinchonae 
succirubrae.  The  work  will  appear  in  parts  and  promises  to  be  a 
valuable  one.

Dr.  Thomas  G.  Ashton ;  "  Diseases  of  the  Liver,"  by  Prof.  Alex- 
ander McPhedran  ;  "  Meningitis,"  by  Dr.  Charles  M.  Hay  ;  "  Lep- 
rosy,"  by  Dr.  Charles  E.  de  M.  Sajous.  The  work  is  to  be  regarded 
like  the  previous  volumes  published,  as  models  of  their  kind.
