Antisepsis  and  Antiseptics.  By  Charles  Milton  Buchanan,  M.D.  With 
an  Introduction  by  Prof.  Augustus  C.  Bernays.  The  Terhune  Company,  New- 
ark, N.  J.  1895. 
The  350  pages  of  this  book  treat  of  a  very  interesting  subject  in  such  a  man- 
ner that  it  is  uot  apparent  at  first  sight  that  a  part  of  it  is  a  thinly-disguised 
advertisement  of  a  certain  antiseptic  preparation  manufactured  by  a  St.  L,ouis 
"chemical  company."  No  doubt  "  up-to-date  "  prescribers  are  already  ordering 
it,  and  the  long-suffering  pharmacist  is  already  "stocking"  with  it,  although 
under  protest.  "  Sennine  "  is  its  name  ;  it  is  a  combination  of  phenol  and  boric 
acid,  of  such  rare  properties  that  it  contains  all  the  virtues  of  these  two  valu- 
able agents,  without  any  of  their  disadvantages.  The  formula  by  which  this 
peculiar  compound  is  obtained  is  not  given.
