OBITUARY. DEATH OF DR. O. S. GREGORY.-Dr. Orson S. Gregory died on Wednes day of heart disease at his residence, 189 East Seventy-first street. He was sixty-nine years of age, and was born in Rutland, Vt. He subsequently lived in Elmira, and removed to this city twenty-five years ago. He began practice as an allopath, but became an eclectic physician. For many years his office was in Fifty-eighth street, until a few years ago he removed to Seventy-first street. He was a Mason of Pacific Lodge. The services at the house this afternoon will be conducted by the Rev. Mr. Alexander, Presbyterian minister.—N. Y. Sun, July 8. Dr. Gregory was for many years connected with the Eclectic Medical College of the City of New York. He was a member of the Board of Censors, and at the time of his death was Corresponding Secretary. He had many friends in the profession, and will be missed by a large circle of acquaintances. He was one of the earliest to join the Eclectic School of Medicine, and was thoroughly devoted to its principles and practice. ALBANY COUNTY ECLECTIC MEDICAL SOCIETY. RESOLUTIONS. DR. ROBERT NEWTON, JR.: TROY, March 27th, 1882. DEAR SIR:-At a meeting of the Albany County Eclectic Medical Society, held January 5th, 1882, the following resolutions were unanimously passed and incorporated in our minutes: Whereas, The Albany County Eclectic Medical Society has learned with profound regret, that in the dispensation of an all-wise Providence, since our last session held in Albany, Oct. 6th, 1881, Prof. Robert S. Newton of New York City has been called from earth to "that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns," it becomes our duty to recognize in this sad event the great loss which medical eclecticism has sustained; therefore, be it Resolved, That this Society recognizes the eminent abilities and valuable services to Eclecticism which have ever been displayed by the gentleman whose sudden demise we now deplore. Resolved, That we sincerely mourn his loss, and commend his example of zeal and energy to all Eclectic practitioners. Resolved, That this Society instruct its Secretary to enter this preamble and these resolutions upon our records, and to transmit a copy of the same to the family of our deceased friend and colaborer. A true copy. Attest: A. G. STILLMAN, Sec., Troy, N. Y. BOOK NOTICES. "THE VEST POCKET ANATOMIST."-By C. H. LEONARD, A.M., M.D., 16mo; 82 pp. Cloth. Price 75 cents. Medical Journal Co. A great number of condensed works for quick reference are being published, both here and in Europe. They are useful and valuable; and if the student does not learn to depend wholly upon them, they serve an excellent purpose, when used in the right way. The subject of this notice is based upon the best text books in use, is concise, compact, and will facilitate study.. "A TREATISE ON HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY."-JOHN C. DALTON, M. D. Seventh Edition. 52 Illustrations. Philadelphia: Henry C. Lea's Son & Co. 1882. This work has received in the seventh edition a thorough revision, and notices of all the latest advancement made in this branch of medical science. In our judgment it would be difficult to find a work which will at all compare with it as a reliable text book, and it is probably better known to the whole profession than any medical book ever published. “INDEX MEDICUS.”—A_monthly classified record of the Current Medical Literature of the World. JOHN S. BILLINGS, M.D., U.S.A., and Dr. R. FLETCHER, M.R.C.S., England. N. Y.: F. Leypolett, 13 Park Row. We continue to receive this record, which is almost invaluable to practitioners of medicine, in that the time saved in reference to cases or special classes of diseases makes it of the utmost importance. With the immense amount of medical reading matter to be gone through with in the course of a year it is almost, if not quite, impossible to keep posted without a publication such as this is, showing the contents of every medical journal in the world. The new Medical Register of Great Britain, just published, gives the total number of physicians as 23,275, as follows:16,024 in England, 3,580 in Scotland, and 3,671 in Ireland. There are also 5,346 dentists in the United Kingdom. MEDICAL COLLEGE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK. CHARTERED BY SPECIAL ACT OF THE LEGISLATURE APRIL 22, 1865.
