NOTES ON NEW BOOKS.
Dispensing Made Easy. By WM. G. SUTHERLAND, M. B., revised by F. J. WARWICK, M. B. (Bristol: John Wright & Sons, 1910.) This little work contains a great deal of information especially valuable to the physician who does his own dispensing and to the pharmacist of a hospital or dispensary. There are directions for convenient ways of preparing many solutions and combinations of drugs. A number of formulas are given, many of which are taken from the pharmacopeias of the London hospitals. The book con- tains many practical points, and for the young practitioner it should prove a useful aid in mastering many of the practical de- tails of prescribing.
Nurses' Handbook of Drugs and Solutions. By JULIA C. STIMSON, R. N., Superintendent of Nurses Harlem Hospital, of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, New York City. Price $1.00. (Boston: Whitcomb & Barrows, 1910.)
It is very difficult to write a good textbook for nurses, and this one should, it seems to us, be merely used as a reference book, like a quiz compend. Too much has been crowded into it, and certain sections should either be omitted, or given in greater detain (e. g., Part V, on Antitoxins, Vaccines, and Sera, with their uses). Such a sentence as the following will not be easily grasped by pupil nurses: "The only real success in securing pro-

UWG UL diseases produced by micro- ganisms, is now known to be based upon the artificial direction : the body's own immunizing ability, by means of removing ob- acles to its action, of furnishing the appropriate stimulus when ich is lacking, or by the addition to the blood stream of specific ibstances, which the body itself produces, but not in sufficient lantity to be effective in the production of a state of immunity gainst the infection under which it is struggling" (p. 68). ome of the "Rules for Solutions " are not expressed as clearly i might be, and in some places the metric system is used, and in hers the apothecaries'. The value for nurses of such prescrip- ons as are given under "Common Formulæ " is problematic, to y the least.
awn of the Fourth Era in Surgery and Other Short Articles Pre- viously Published. By ROBERT T. MORRIS, A. M., M. D., etc. The author's many friends and admirers, as well as other stu- ents of surgery, will be pleased to have this collection of his ipers in a neat and attractive form. Naturally all will not agree ith Dr. Morris' dicta on certain surgical points, but his views serve consideration, and an hour can be well spent rereading ese articles, which deal with the use of the rubber glove, the pendix, the gall bladder, rapidity of operation, etc.
inciples of Therapeutics. By A. MANQUAT, National Correspond- ent to the Academie de Medicine. Translated by M. SINBAD GABRIEL, M. D. Price, $3.00. (New York and London: D. Appleton & Co., 1910.)
In this book the author discusses the general principles that iderlie the giving of medicines, and the use of other therapeutic ents. It is dedicated to "young physicians," and " every line it is devoted to practice, with the double object of being useful .d doing no harm." It is divided into the following twelve chap- rs: I. Views of the Various Manners of Conceiving Therapeu- 's; II. The Forms of Therapeutic Action; III. Of the Action of edicines; IV. Doses; V. Medicinal Opportunity; VI. Primum in Nocere! VII. The Elements of Therapeutic Individualiza -. n; VIII. Influence of Environment on Therapeutic Results; . Variations of Therapeutic Activity Inherent in Medicines; Non-medicinal Therapeutic Actions; XI. Method in Therapeu- 3, and XII. Division of Therapeutic Agents. Much good advice given, but it is not always presented in the happiest form; the :hor's style is not so lucid as that of many French writers, but se who have time to read this rather diffuse work will benefit mselves. Such clumsy and un-English words as "hypostheni- ts," "hyposthenizing," "thermality," "nosocratic," "stom- al" and others mar the text, and the translation of many of sentences is too literal and awkward. The definition of dis- 3 (p. 58) as "the disturbance of the habitual organic equilib- n by the fact of an abnormal force acting with sufficient in- rity to modify the fixity of its reactions, the habitual play of functions and at times its structure and chemical composition, ? giving rise to disorders which persist until the accomplish- it by this living matter of elimination or destruction of the "fying cause or else its own adaptation to the presence of the urbing force," may be intelligible in French, but is not readily prehensible as it stands. "Nutritive movement " (p. 147) for stion is not happy. In spite, however, of these defects in its lish form, the book has value.
Inatomical and Surgical Study of Fractures of the Lower End of the Humerus. By ASTLEY PASTON COOPER ASHHURST, A. B., M. D., etc. The Samuel D. Gross Prize Essay of the Philadelphia Academy of Surgery, 1910. (Philadelphia and Tew York: Lea & Febiger, 1910.)
astrated by case histories and excellent photographs and graphs, this is a valuable monograph, one which every sur-
geon who sees many fractures will find helpful. The understand- ing of these fractures has been made clearer by Dr. Ashhurst's experimental and anatomical work. That the study is thorough is shown by the contents which include Introduction, Anatomy, De- velopment of the Lower Epiphysis of the Humerus, Classification, Pathogenesis, Examination of the Patients, Supracondylar Frac- tures, Transverse, Diacondylar Fractures, Fractures of the Exter- nal Condyle, Fractures of the Epitrochlea, Epiphyseal Separations, Fractures of the Internal Condyle, Intercondylar Fractures, Com- plications, Dressing the Elbow in Hyperflexion, Results, and Clini- cal Histories. The winning of the Samuel D. Gross Prize marks the distinction of this piece of work.
An Introduction to Surgery. By RUTHERFORD MORISON, M. A., M. B., F. R. C. S., Edin. and Eng., etc. Illustrated. Price, 8/6. (Bristol: John Wright & Sons, Ltd. London: Simpkin, Mar- shall, Hamilton, Kent & Co., Ltd., 1910.)
This work of about 150 pages is divided into ten chapters as follows: (1) Inflammation, (2) Bacteria, (3) Ulcers, (4) Gan- grene, (5) Syphilis, Tubercle, and Malignant Disease, (6) Hæmo- philia, (7) Wounds, (8) Abdominal and Pelvic Viscera, (9) Indi- cations for Operation, (10) X-rays. It is difficult to understand for whom such a work is intended. Much of the teaching is puerile-it is like a book written in words of one syllable. Stu- dents who are not able to grasp more in an Introduction to Sur- gery, should not begin to study surgery. One poor paragraph on "Leucocytosis," and less than two pages on " Gonorrhea " should not be considered as proper education to any class of students at any time in their career. Such a book is not really helpful to any- one. It is much too diagrammatic and epigrammatic.
Anemia. By DR. P. EHRLICH and DR. A. LAZARUS. Part 1. Vol- ume 1. Normal and Pathological Histology of the Blood. Second Edition. (Enlarged and to a great extent rewritten). By DR. A. LAZARUS and DR. O. NAEGELI. Translated for the German by H. W. ARMIT, M. R. C. S., L. R. C. P. (London). Illustrated. Price, $4.00. (New York: Rebman Company, 1910.)
The new edition of this well-known work will be welcome to all hæmatologists and clinicians. Ehrlich's studies of the blood are fundamental, and every student of this branch of medicine must be acquainted with them. This translation will, therefore, be of great help to those who are unable to read the original book in German. It is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1, Introduc- tion; Definition-Clinical Methods of the Examination of Blood; and Chapter II, The Morphology of the Blood, are by Dr. Laza- rus; Chapter III, The White Blood Corpuscles, by Dr. Naegeli; and Chapter IV, The Blood Platelets: The Hæmoconia, by Dr. Lazarus.
Applied Anatomy. The Construction of the Human Body Consid- ered in Relation to Its Functions, Diseases and Injuries. By GWILYM G. DAVIS, M. D., Associate Professor of Applied Anat- omy, University of Pennsylvania, etc. With 630 illustrations, mostly from original dissections and many in color, by Erwin F. Faber. (Philadelphia and London: J. B. Lippin- cott Company.)
Any thorough work which will aid the medical student to over- come the feeling that anatomy is a dull, dry subject, and has little practical relation to medicine, is welcome, and he who, along with his Gray, will read his Davis, will find that, after all, human anatomy is a living subject, and will be helped through many a tedious hour. The aim of the author "is to show the relation of structure to function " in both normal and pathological condi- tions, and with a clear text and abundance of illustrations, he has produced a really valuable book, which can be said of very few

modern medical works. The book is intended not alone for stu- dents, but surgeons and physicians will often find occasion to turn to its pages for information or the solution of some difficult problem. It is well arranged, and satisfactory in every way, except for its weight, excusable only by the handsome paper used.
Clinical Pathology in Practice, with a Short Account of Vaccine Therapy. By THOMAS J. HORDER, M. D., R. R. C. P., etc. Price, $3.00. (London: Henry Frowde and Hodder & Stoughton, 1910.) Oxford Medical Publications.
"The aim of this book is to present the practitioner with a brief survey of the scope and usefulness of modern pathological meth- ods as applied to the diagnosis and treatment of disease. It is not intended to serve as a laboratory text-book .... " Such is the limitation of the book that many another laboratory text-book along these same lines is more useful to the student, since the practice of clinical pathology should go hand in hand with the theory of its use. After three preliminary chapters ( Introduc- tory, The Collection of Materials, Blood Culture) the author takes up The Histological Examination of the Blood, The Sputum, Pleural, Lung, Lumbar and Joint Puncture, Infective Conditions of the Nose, Mouth, Throat, and Urinary Tracts, Examination of the Faces, the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis and Its Specific Treat- ment, Certain Specific Serum Tests and Their Value in Diagnosis, Fever without Other Physical Signs, and Vaccine Therapy. Simply and only as an introduction to the further study of these subjects can this book serve a purpose, and that rather inade- quately.
A Manual of Nursing. By MARGARET FRANCES DONAHOE, formerly Superintendent of Nurses and Principal of Training School, Philadelphia General Hospital. Illustrated. (New York and London: D. Appleton & Co., 1910.)
This "Manual " covers all nursing and, therefore, is more com- plete than some of the treatises on this subject. On the whole, it is satisfactory, but it lacks distinction. The difference between a primary text-book on medicine and a treatise on nursing is not kept clearly in mind by the authoress, and this detracts from the value of the book, for some of her remarks in the chapter on the nursing of contagious diseases are not always correct. Through- out the work there are statements which need revision, but there are few errors of real consequence, and nurses will not be led far astray in reading this book, though they could spend their time better on some others.
International Clinics. Edited by HENRY W. CATTELL, A. M., M. D., with collaborators. Vol. IV. Twentieth Series, 1910. (Phila- delphia and London: J. B. Lippincott Company.)
This volume opens with a timely article on " 606 " by the editor. It is important that the value and use of this new remedy should be thoroughly understood by the profession, and this article will be of material aid. Dr. J. J. Walsh has written another one of his entertaining and instructive historical papers on the "Physicians' Fees Down the Ages," and there are numerous other clinics on " Diagnosis and Treatment," "Medicine," "Surgery," "Neurol- ogy," "Pathology," "Ophthalmology," "State Medicine," and " Postgraduate Course," which will please and satisfy a variety of readers.
Studies in Invalid Occupation. A Manual for Nurses and At- tendants. By SUSAN C. TRACY. Price, $1.50. (Boston: Whit- comb & Barrows, 1910.)
This is an excellent and most helpful work for the classes to whom it is addressed. The descriptions of objects to be made by the patients are clear, and there are a number of photographs and drawings which are also useful. To keep the hands of invalids
with mental troubles of one sort and another, occupied is one a! the most important means of curing them, and in any case, e. preventing their mental condition becoming worse. Manual exer cises of all kinds are an excellent means of keeping the minds : normal people healthy, and are still more important for the s' normal, and as an aid to all who care for those with mental da turbances this book can be heartily commended. Few attenda:s have sufficient imagination or knowledge to get on without a guise of this sort, and the majority will be glad of the assistance to be found in these "Studies."
A System of Syphilis in Six Volumes. Edited by D'ARCY Por M. B., Oxon., F. R. C. S., and J. KEOGH MURPHY, M.D. F. R. C. S. With an introduction by JONATHAN HUTCHINSET. F. R. S. Vol. II. (London: Henry Frowde and Hodder & Stoughton, 1908.) Oxford Medical Publication.
The editor-in-chief, Dr. D'Arcy Power, opens this volume witt an interesting and able paper on the "Surgery of Syphilis," a. he is followed by Col. F. J. Lambkin, who contributes two net- worthy papers on "The Treatment of Syphilis," and " An Cat- break of Syphilis in a Virgin Soil." The final chapter on "Sypti- lis in Obstetrics " is well handled by Dr. William J. Gow. Size the appearance of this volume two years ago the new method d' treating syphilis with " 606 " has been discovered, but this remedy will not altogether drive out of use or supplant the older ones, so that Col. Lambkin's paper on treatment is still well worth read- ing and studying. There is no doubt that for all students of sypt :- lis this is a most important system, and each volume containe papers of exceptional value. Such experiences as Col. Lamblin had with this disease in Uganda are exceedingly rare and of the greatest interest. The volume is illustrated with some beautiful color reproductions.
