In our medical colleges the teachers of Obstetrics dwell upon the use of blood-letting (phlebotomy) in cases of puerperal convulsions, and to this method Dr. Michener and his fellows give their unqualified support-not to take a prescribed number of ounces, but to bleed for effect, and from a large orifice. This is plainly and admirably set forth in his book. To bleed requires a cutting instrument,-not necessarily a lancet, for Dr. M. states how in one case a pocket-knife was used and the desired effect produced. Let the young physician gather courage from this little book, and let the more experienced give testimony to confirm its teaching. PROF.

This is the only publication in the English language treating this very important subject in a practical manner. Full instructions are given regarding the mode of applying The Swedish Movement and Massage Treatment in various diseases and conditions of the human system with the greatest degree of effectiveness. Professor Nissen is the best authority in the United States upon this practical phase of this subject, and his book is indispensable to every physician who wishes to know how to use these valuable handmaids of medicine. This manual is valuable to the practitioner, as it contains a terse description of a subject but too little understood in this country. The book is get up very creditably, N. Y. Med. Jour. The present volume is a modest account of the application of the Swedish Movement and Massage Treatment, in which the technique of the various procedures are clearly stated as well as illustrated in a very excellent manner. -North American Practitioner, This little manual seems to be written by an expert, and to those who desire to know the details connected with 16 the Swedish Movement and Massage we commend the book-Practice. This attractive little book presents the subject in a very practical shape, and makes it possible for every physician to understand at least how it is applied. if it does not give him dexterity in the art of its application. He can certainly acquire dexterity by following the directions so plainly advised in this book.-Chicago Med. Times. It is so practical and clear in its demonstrations that if you wish a work of this nature you cannot do better than peruse this one.-Medical Brief. (F. A.

THE PHYSICIAN'S ALL-REQUISITE TIME AND LABOR SAVING Account-Book: BEING A LEDGER AND ACCOUNT-BOOK FOR PHYSICIANS' USE, MEETING ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW AND COURTS. DESIGNED BY WILLIAM A. SEIBERT, M.D., PROBAY ROBABLY no class of people lose more money through carelessly kept accounts and overlooked or neglected bills than physicians. Often detained at the bedside of the sick until late at night, or deprived of even a modicum of rest, it is with great difficulty that he spares the time or puts himself in condition to give the same care to his own financial interests that a merchant, a lawyer, or even a farmer devotes. It is then plainly apparent that a system of 'ookkeeping and accounts hat, without sacrificing accuracy, but, on the other hand, ensuring it, at the same time relieves the keeping of a physician's book of half their complexity and two-thirds the labor, is a convenience which will be eagerly welcomed by thousands of overworked physicians. Such a sys tem has at last been devised, and we take pleasure in offering it to the profession in the form of THE PHYSICIAN'S ALL-REQUISITE TIME- AND LABOR SAVING ACCOUNT-BOOK. There is no exaggeration in stating that this Account-Book and Ledger reduces the labor of keeping your accounts more than one-half, and at the same time secures the greatest degree of accuracy. We may mention a few of the superior advantages of THE PHYSICIAN'S ALLREQUISITE TIME- AND LABOR- SAVING ACCOUNT-BOOK, as follow: First-Will meet all the requirements of the law and courts. Fourth-No posting; one entry only. time of year, and can be continued indefinitely until every account is filled. Sixth-Absolutely no waste of space. Seventh-One person must needs be sick every day of the year to fill his account, or might be ten years about it and require no more than the space for one account in this ledger. Eighth-Double the number and many times more than the number of accounts in | any similar book; the 300-page book contains space for 900 accounts, and the 600-page book contains space for 1800 accounts. Ninth-There are no smaller spaces. Eleventh-Uniform size of leaves.

DAVIS, Medical Publisher, Philadelphia, Pa, U.S.A.) PHYSICIANS' INTERPRETER IN FOUR LANGUAGES. (ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, AND ITALIAN.) Specially Arranged for Diagnosis by M. von V. The object of this little work is to meet a need often keenly felt by the busy physician, namely, the need of some quick and reliable method of communicating intelligibly with patients of those nationalities and languages unfamiliar to the practitioner. The plan of the book is a systematic arrangement of questions upon the various branches of Practical Medicine, and each question is so worded that the only answer required of the patient is merely YES or No. The questions are all numbered, and a complete Index renders them always available for quick reference. The book is written by one who is well versed in English, French, German, and Italian, being an excellent teacher in all those languages, and who has also had considerable hospital experience.

To convey some idea of the scope of the questions contained in the Physicians' Interpreter, we append the Index : The work is well done, and calculated to be of great service to those who wish to acquire familiarity with the phrases used in questioning patients. More than this, we believe it would be a great help in acquiring a vocabulary to be used in reading medical books, and that it would furnish an excellent basis for beginning a study of any one of the languages which it includes.-Medical and Surgical Reporter. Many other books of the same sort, with more extensive vocabularies, have been published, but, from their size, and from their being usually devoted to equivalents in English and one other language only, they have not had the advantage which is pre-eminent in this-convenience. It is handsomely printed, and bound in flexible red leather in the form of a diary. It would scarcely make itself felt in one's hip-pocket, and would insure its bearer against any ordinary conversational difficulty in dealing with foreignspeaking people, who are constantly coming into our city hospitals-New York Medical Journal. In our larger cities, and in the whole Northwest, the physiolan is constantly meeting with immigrant patients, to whom it is difficult for him to make himself understood, or to know what they say in return. This difficulty will 18 .....340-373 .pages 202-204 be greatly obviated by use of this little work.-The Physician and Surgeon. The phrases are well selected, and one might practice long without requiring more of these languages than this little book furnishes.-Phila. Medical Times. How often the physician is called to attend those with whom the English language is unfamiliar, and many physicians are thus deprived of the means, save throngo an interpreter, of arriving at a correct knowledge on which to base a diagnosis. An interpreter is not always at hand, but with this pocket interpreter in your hand you are able to ask all the questions necessary, and receive the answer in such manner that you will be able to fully comprehend. -The Medical Brief. This little volume is one of the most ingenious aidr to the physician which we have seen. We heartily com mend the book to any one who, being without a knowledg of the foreign languages, is obliged to treat those who de not know our own language.-St. Louis Courier of Medi cine.

FRANCE, 3 fr. 60. “THE NERVO-VASCULAR SYSTEM OF CHARTS" far Excels Every Other System in their Completeness, Compactness, and Accuracy. Part I. The Nerves.-Gives in a clear form not only the Cranial and Spinal Nerves, showing the formation of the different Plexuses and their branches, but also the complete distribution of the SYMPATHETIC NERVES, thereby making it the most complete and concise chart of the Nervous System yet published. Part II. The Arteries.-Gives a unique grouping of the Arterial System, showing the divisions and subdivisions of all the vessels, beginning from the heart and tracing their CONTINUOUS distribution to the periphery, and showing at a glance the terminal branches of each artery. Part III. The Veins.-Shows how the blood from the periphery of the body is gradually collected by the larger veins, and these coalescing forming still larger vessels, until they finally trace themselves into the Right Auricle of the heart. It is therefore readily seen that "The Nervo-Vascular System of Charts" offers the following superior advantages: 1. It is the only arrangement which combines the Three Systems, and yet each is perfect and distinct in itself. 2. It is the only instance of the Cranial, Spinal, and Sympathetic Nervous Systems being represented on one chart. 3. From its neat size and clear type, and being printed only upon one side, it may be tacked up in any convenient place, and is always ready for freshening up the memory and reviewing for examination. 4. The nominal price for which these charts are sold places them within the reach of all. For the student of anatomy there can possibly be no more concise way of acquiring a knowledge of the nerves, veins, and arteries of the human system. It presents at a glance their trunks and branches in the great divisions of the body. It will save a world of tedious reading, and will impress itself on the mind as no ordinary rade mecum, even, could. Its price is nominal and its value inestimable. No student should be without it.-Pacific Record of Medicine and Surgery. We take pleasure in calling attention to these charts, as they are so arranged that a study of them will serve to impress them more indelibly on your mind than can be gained in any other way. They are also valuable for reference.-Medical Brief. These are three admirably arranged charts for the use of students, to assist in memorizing their anatomical studies.-Buffalo Med, and Surg. Jour." This is a series of charts of the nerves, arteries, and veins of the human body, giving names, origins, distributions, and functions, very convenient as memorizers and reminders. A similar series, prepared by the late J. H. Armsby, of Albany, N.Y., and framed, long found a place in the study of the writer, and on more than one occasion was the means of saving precious moments that must otherwise have been devoted to tumbling the pages of anatomical works.-Med. Age. These three charts will be of great assistance to medical students. They can be hung on the wall and read across any ordinary room. The price is only fifty cents for the set. Practice. These charts have been carefully arranged, and will prove to be very convenient for ready reference. They are three in number, each constituting a part. It is a high recommendation that these charts have been examined and approved by John B. Deaver, M.D., Demonstrator of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania.Pacific Med. and Surg.

This great work upon a subject which, notwithstanding the great strides that have been made in its investigation and the deep interest it possesses for all, is nevertheless still but imperfectly understood, has been translated in a most perfect manner, and preserves most fully the inherent excellence and fascinating style of its renowned and lamented author. Full and complete, yet terse and concise, it handles the subject with such a vigor of touch, such a clearness of detail and description, and such a directness to the result, that no medical man who once takes it up will be content to lay it down until its perusal is complete,-nor will one reading be enough. Professor Ultzmann was recognized as one of the greatest authorities in his chosen specialty, and it is a little singular that so few of his writings have been translated into English. Those who have been so fortunate as to benefit by his instruction at the Vienna Polyclinic can testify to the soundness of his pathological teachings and the success of his methods of treatment. He approached the subject from a somewhat different point of view from most surgeons, and this gives a peculiar value to the work. It is believed, moreover, that there is ao convenient hand-book in English treating in a broad manner the Genito-urinary Neuroses. SYNOPSIS OF CONTENTS. FIRST PART.-I.
