toxins  and  organo-therapeutic  preparations  a  remarkable  class  of 
remedial  agents  in  disease.  Most  of  these  results  have  been  pub- 
lished in  the  various  journals  or  in  special  monographs.  It  is  ex- 
tremely satisfactory  to  have  a  work  such  as  the  present  one  of  Dr. 
Waldheim  containing  all  these  different  results  so  that  one  can 
familiarize  oneself  with  these  new  preparations.  The  following  sub-

Die  Technik  der  Kosmetik.  Handbuk  der  Fabrikation,  Ver- 
werthung  und  Priifung  aller  kosmetischen  Stoffe  und  der  kosmetis- 
chen  Specialitaten.  Von  Dr.  Theodor  Koller.  Wien,  Pest,  Leipzig : 
A.  Hartleben's  Verlag.

upon  the  application  of  the  principles  of  chemistry  and  bacteriology 
it  is  possible  that  this  art  may  be  developed  as  a  branch  of  one  of

work  of  Koller  of  great  value.  The  following  is  a  list  of  contents: 
Die  Aufgaben  der  Kosmetik  ;  Materialienkunde  (under  which  are 
given  the  various  methods  of  preparations  of  odorous  principles 
and  the  chemical,  animal  and  plant  substances  employed) ;  Allge- 
meine  kosmetische  Mittel  (includes  various  preparations  for  the  care 
of  the  teeth  and  hair) ;  kosmetische  specialitaten ;  Antiseptische
