Ataxia" by Dr. W. B. Pritchard, of New York, "Intubation" by Prof. F. E.Waxham, of Chicago, "Diseases of the Liver" by Prof. Alexander McPhedran of Toronto, and "Meningitis" by Dr. Charles M. Hay, of Philadelphia.

A MANUAL OF THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE, prepared especially for students. By A. A. Stevens, A. M., M. D., Professor of Pathology in the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania; Lecturer on Terminology and Instuctor in Physical Diagnosis in the University of Pennsylvania; Physician to St. Agnes' Hospital and to the Out-Patient Department of the Episcopal Hospital, etc. Fifth edition, revised and enlarged. Illustrated. Published by W. B. Saunders, 925 Walnut street, Philadelphia. Price $2.00 net. The fact that four editions of the above work have been exhausted, and that the fifth is called for and published by Mr. Saunders, the wellknown and careful publisher, is of itself a sufficient guaranty of its usefulness to the profession. The information it contains is so well expressed and condensed as to make it a very practical and ready reference book for the student and busy practitioner.

AMERICAN YEAR BOOK NOW IN TWO VOLUMES.

In response to a wide-spread demand from the medical profession, Mr. Saunders, the publisher of the "American Year Book of Medicine and Surgery," has decided to issue that well-known work in two volumes, Vol. I treating of general medicine, Vol. 2 of general surgery. Each volume will be complete in itself, and the work will be sold either separately or in sets. Prices per volume, cloth, $3.00 net; half morocco, $3.75 net.

The quantity of matter under review has become so immense that its inclusion in one volume would make a book of unwieldy proportions; but by thus dividing the matter, two volumes will be made of about 600 pages each-an ideal size for convenience of handling and reference. Each volume will be complete in itself, will be paged separately and will have its own index.

This division is made in such a way as to appeal to physicians from a class standpoint, one volume being distinctly medical, and the other distinctly surgical. The apportionment of subjects in each volume is as follows:

Medical-General medicine; pediatrics; pathology; nervous and mental diseases; cutaneous medicine, etc.; materia medica; physiology, legal medicine; hygiene, chemistry, etc.

Surgical General surgery, obstetrics; gynecology, orthopedic surgery; ophthalmology; otology; laryngology and rhinology; anatomy.

This arrangement has a two-fold advantage. To the physician who uses the entire book, it offers an increased amount of matter in the most convenient form for easy consultation, and with

out any increase in price; while the man who wants either the medical or the surgical section alone secures the complete consideration of his branch without the necessity of purchasing matter for which he has no use.

The International Medical Annual for 1900 published by E. B. Treat & Co., is expected to surpass all of its predecessors.

It is indicated internally in all forms of dyspepsia and digestive disturbances, butyric fermentation, gastric catarrh, gastric ulcers, etc., externally as a local application in the treatment of specific inflammations of the mucous membrane, chronic inflammatory conditions characterized by fetid discharges and wherever morbid conditions or foul secretions exist.

PUBISHER'S DEPARTMENT.

SANMETTO AS AN INTERNAL REMEDY FOR GENITO-URINARY CONDITIONS.

While fully realizing the superfluity of further testimonials concerning a remedy so well and favorably known to the entire medical profession as is Sanmetto, yet as I possess an extended knowledge of its reliability, based on several years' clinical experience and on the treatment of hundreds of cases in which it has proven itself eminently fitted to lighten the cares of the genitourinary surgeon, I am, perhaps, invested with a certain authority which should permit me the privilege of adding my meed of praise. In all the inflammatory conditions of the genito-urinary tract, from the meatus to the pelvis of the kidney, the administration of Sanmetto is invariably beneficial. It not only renders the urine bland and unirritating, but also exerts a specific action on the inflamed tissues, soothing and restoring the tonicity of the parts. Its tonic action on the prostate is of such a nature that it proves of equal advantage in cases of either hyperplasia or of atrophy, and there is no remedy. so uniformly successful in the treatment of atonic impotency or pre-senility. I have found it of inestimable service in the preliminary preparation of cases requiring surgical interference, and, combined with salol, use it constantly to secure urinary anti-sepsis. I am fully of the opinion that Sanmetto represents all that could be hoped for or desired as an internal remedy for genitourinary conditions.

TREATMENT OF A CASE OF FACIAL

NEURALGIA.

Barnays ("Report of a Surgical Clinic") cites a peculiarly obstinate case of facial neuralgia with treatment. The patient was a lady aged fifty years, who showed a good family history and whose previous health was also good. The trouble began with a severe neuralgic toothache of her lower right molars, and was paroxysmal at first, but after two months became continuous. The paroxysms generally occurred in the early morning, and entailed much acute suffering. The pain was relieved by biting strongly upon some firm object, but returned immediately when the pressure was removed. The touch of anything cold or hot promptly excited a paroxysm. A moderate heat when sustained produced the opposite effect. In the effort to afford relief four molars were extracted, but without success. The patient strenuously held out against the use of narcotics in any form throughout the entire course of the disease. Antikamnia in ten grain

doses (two five-grain tablets) was found efficient as an obtundant, and was relied upon exclusively. Eight weeks after section of the nerve, when the report was written, there had been no return of her former trouble in any degree.-The Medical News, Jan. 13th, 1900..

ALTERATIVE MEDICATION.

Henry Medical Essays points out the essentials of a successful tonic and alterative medicine. Such a combination will ultimately fail if it is not well adapted to the demands of an extended. course of treatment. Among facts which may be considered as most thoroughly established by clinical experience are the peculiar tonic and alterative value of the salts of iron, bichloride of mercury and arsenic. They promote appetite, digestion and assimilation of food, in a word are tonic, and improve the general condition of the system by correcting errors in fluids and functions; in other words are alterative. The combined action of these three drugs is three-fold, and the action of one is supplementary to the other. He prefers protochloride of iron, which stimulates the glands of the stomach and augments the blood-making function. The action is supplemented by the sedative and oxygen carrying power of the arsenic and the intestinal and liver stimulation of the bichloride of mercury. Besides all this when these remedies are properly combined, as in the elixir of the three chlorides (Henry), they do not disturb digestion, cause constipation or produce other unpleasant effects.

30 LBS. IN THREE MONTHS.

Allentown, Pa., Dec. 28, 1894.-I have been using your preparation since 1887, when I first prescribed in a case of Phthisis (3d stage), in a patient who only weighed 87 pounds.

In three months I had all the diseased vesicles healed and the patient gained in weight to 117 pounds. Have used it in Chronic Bronchitis. and other Pulmonary affections, with the best results. I cannot speak too highly of your preparation, and in affections of the lungs or bronchial tubes, I first and last prescribe "McArthur's" always in the original package, as I have learned a lesson, since a druggist dispensed "Stock" Hypophosphites, instead of your preparation, when I particularly desired "McArthur's."
