"In concluding this notice of Dr Sandwith's excellent work we can only express the great pleasure we have had in perusing it, and we look forward with much interest to the completion of a treatise which should find a place in the library of every student of tropical medicine. Part I. contains three beautifully executed plates of the ankylostomum of the pellagrous skin affection, and of the pellagrous spinal cord."—Lancet.

A MANUAL OF CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS BY MICROSCOPICAL AND CHEMICAL METHODS. For Students, Hospital Physicians, and Practitioners. By Charles E. Simon, M.D., late Assistant Resident Physician, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. New (Fifth) and Revised Edition. In one very handsome royal octavo volume of 703 pages, with 150 Engravings and 22 full-page Coloured Plates. Cloth. Price 21s net.

". . . Covering practically the same ground as the well-known work of Professor von Jaksch, the book contains in some sections even more information than does that volume. We have, after a careful review of the contents of the book, no hesitation in commending it as one of the best and most compendious manuals for the clinical laboratory that has appeared."—Lancet.

"The volume is most appropriately illustrated both by coloured plates and by woodcuts in the text. We heartily welcome the appearance of the work, which we feel sure will find a permanent place in the working literature of the profession, and will adequately supply a well-recognised deficiency."—British Medical Journal.

By James Ewing, A.M., M.D., Professor of Pathology in Cornell University Medical College, New York City. Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged. In one very handsome royal octavo volume of 496 pages, Illustrated with 43 Engravings and 18 Coloured Plates drawn by the Author. Cloth. Price 21s net.

"To anyone engaging in such researches (and every practitioner must engage in them more or less) the work of Dr Ewing will be found invaluable. The book will be found a mine of information, and, indeed, will prove indispensable to anyone investigating blood changes in disease."—Dublin Journal of Medical Science.

"As a thoroughly sound and philosophical treatise on hæmatology, free from prejudice and exaggeration, the book may be strongly recommended alike to the beginner and the advanced student."—Practitioner.

"Of the sterling merits of the book we have already spoken, and its perusal may be most heartily commended."—British Medical Journal.
