PROGRESSIVE MEDICINE.* THE volume for the quarter ending December, 1903, is devoted to "Diseases of the Digestive System," "Genitourinary Diseases," "Surgery of the Extremeties," "Diseases of the Kidneys," "Physiology," "Hygiene" and "Therapeutics." The work is in keeping with the high standard maintained by the previous issues. No book comes to our table with a warmer welcome than "Progressive Medicine." It is issued every three months and contains all that is good in medicine and surgery. The publishers have decided to change somewhat the style of the volumes with the advent of the new year and reduce the price from $10.00 to $6.00 per annum. The same editorial management will be retained. *By Hobart Emory Hare, et al. Lea Brothers & Company, Philadelphia and New York. THE FOUR EPOCHS OF A WOMAN'S LIFE.* THIS little book contains many a thought which should prove of great advantage to the vast majority of women ignorant, as the most of them are, of the subjects the author considers. Matters not usually discussed in print are set forth intelligently, delicately and concisely. Just why it is considered proper for the young maiden to have a knowledge of all that makes up our modern civilization as set forth in lurid novels and the daily press, yet improper for the same young woman to have a knowledge of her sexual apparatus is hard to explain. The author surely has struck the right note and it is only to be regretted that the book is not more comprehensive. It can be heartily recommended to the class of patients for whom it is intended. *A Study in Hygiene. By Anna M. Galbraith, M. D. Published by W. B. Saunders & Company, Philadelphia and London. PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF GYNECOLOGY.* ANY work which reaches a third edition in the comparatively short time this book has been at the disposal of the medical public must possess qualities far above the ordinary. Such is the case with this. admirable text-book, whose friends multiply with each successive edition. The general plan of the first and second editions has been retained in the third edition. Many chapters have been entirely rewritten and show the results of the careful and conscientious work for which the author is renowned. The illustrations have been added to and are of much better quality, thus eliminating criticism which was applied freely to the first edition. Of special value to the student and teacher are the tables and parallel columns for differential diagnosis. These have been greatly enlarged and improved in this latest edition. *By E. C.
