Surgery.

THE SURGERY OF THE EAR. By Samuel J. Kopetzy, M.D., Attending Otologist New York City Children's Hospitals and Schools and to the Red Cross Hospital; Assistant Surgeon and Instructor in Operative Surgery of the Ear, Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital; Pathologist and Surgeon, New York Throat, Nose and Lung Hospital, etc. New York: Rebman Company. 1908. Cloth, $4.

This superbly illustrated volume of 368 pages is, as far as we know, the only work in the English language which is exclusively devoted to the surgery of the ear.

The anatomy of the ear, together with congenital malformations, the variations. from normal adult conditions as found in young children and the surgical anatomy peculiar to each diseased condition are treated with great care and precision. The historical account of the various operations is also very interesting.

Every surgical operation has its full and complete description, and all possible complications are carefully considered.

It is doubtless true, as the author suggests, that the surgery of the ear will become a specialty, as distinguished from the general diseases of the ear, and this book is admirably adapted to such a condition.

The author's large experience especially fits him for the task he has undertaken so successsfully, and every practitioner of medicine should have the book, for it is to the general practitioner that these cases first present themselves.

Pædiatrics.

DISEASES OF CHILDREN.

By William Nelson Mundy, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics in the Eclectic Medical Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio. Second revised edition; illustrated; 8-vo; 512 pp.; cloth, $3. The Scudder Brothers Co., publishers, Cincinnati, Ohio.

This book presents the eclectic system of infantile therapeutics and practice in a clear and concise manner, and in addition covers fairly well the etiology and pathology of the commoner diseases of children. The arrangement and style are

much to be commended. The illustrations, while not over numerous, have been well chosen, and really illuminate the text. Every general practitioner will be the broader and abler physician for viewing diseases of children from all possible standpoints, and we commend this work as being useful even to those whose ideas as to the use of drugs are not consistent with eclectic principles. We are sorry to note the somewhat scanty reference to the antitoxin treatment of diphtheria, but still the author admits the use of antitoxin "has revolutionized the treatment of diphtheria."

Obstetrics and Gynecology. CLINICAL GYNECOLOGY. A Series of Studies from the Work at the Samaritan Hospital for Women, Belfast, Ireland. By John Campbeli, M.A., M.D., F.R.C.S. (Eng.), Surgeon to the Samaritan Hospital for Women, Belfast, and Consulting Surgeon to the Belfast Maternity Hospital. Belfast: Mayne & Boyd, 2 Corporation street. 1908. This book of 260 pages contains 28 numbers of fasciculi issued monthly, which,

taken as a whole, include notes on nearly all diseases which the gynecologist is called upon to treat. A very good index is inserted at the beginning of the book.

Dr. Campbell, besides being a wellknown expert in gynæcology, is an expert in the art of employing the English language. There is a clear and concise description of cases and methods, which is rarely found in a medical or surgical treatise.

The various diseased conditions are described, the essential points in diagnosis given, these followed by the symptoms, prognosis and treatment, both medical and surgical. These points are then fully illustrated by cases. Taken in their entirety they give the reader a most practical as well as complete clinical treatise in a convenient form for reference with which we are acquainted. It may be ordered through this office, if desired, for $2.50.

Ophthalmology.

DISEASES OF THE EYE. By M. Stephen Mayon, F.R.C.S., Late Hunterian Professor, Assistant Surgeon and Pathologist Central London Ophthalmic Hospital, etc. With 119 original illustrations and eight color plates. Oxford University Press.

This Oxford medical publication is a short and practical manual of diseases of the eye, intended to give students and. practitioners a working knowledge of the ocular conditions more frequently encountered in general practice. It is well and clearly written, and the type and arrangement of contents make it easy reading. The chapter on elementary refraction is particularly well written, although some of the methods advocated and some statements are somewhat at variance with New York practice and theory. Like all

its predecessors in this series, it is a handy volume to use, from its small size and clear type. W. M. C.

Forensic Medicine.

THE LAW IN GENERAL PRACTICE. BY Stanley B. Atkinson, M.A., M.B., B. So., of the Inner Temple, Barrister at Law; Justice of the Peace for the County of London; Member of the Central Midwives' Board; Hon. Secretary of the Medico-Legal Society, London. Oxford Medical Publications. Henry Froude. Oxford University

Press: London. 1908.

The subtitle of this little book is "Some Chapters in Everyday Forensic Medicine." cine." "Medical students learn many things they will never need in subsequent practice, and in subsequent practice will need many things which, as students, they never learned."

This little book is an excellent guide to the busy practitioner on matters seldom touched upon in medical schools. The chapters on medical evidence, on the law of defamation and on negligence and malpractice, are all particularly useful, and give clearly many practical precautions. W. M. C.

Therapeutics.

HIGH FREQUENCY CURRENTS. By Frederick Finch Strong, M.D., Instructor in Electro-Therapeutics at Tuft's College Medical School. 289 pages, 183 illustrations; cloth, $3. New York: Rebman Company.

The rapid progress being made in our knowledge of medical electricity allows of and even necessitates frequent additions to the literature of the subject, and such accessions are especially appreciated when they come from the pen of one who is known to be so well versed in electro
