    Works by the Author of THE YOUNG MOTHER'S ASSISTANT. 1. An ESSAY on Warm, Cold, and Vapour BA- THING, with Observations on Sea-Bathing, Bilious Liver Complaints, and Dropsy. By Sir Arthur Clarke, M. D. &c. Fifth Edition, improved, 5s. 6d. This work will be found to contain more useful instruc- tion, and more valuable practical remarks, than any that has appeared on the subject.—Gazette of Health, No. 39. 2. AN ESSAY ON DISEASES OF THE SKIN, containing Practical Observations on Sulphureous Fumi- gations, in the Cure of Cutaneous Complaints ; with several Remarkable Cases. Dedicated, by Permis- sion, to the King. Price 5s. 6d. The author has endeavoured to couvey such a general View of the Structure, Economy and Functions of the Skin, and of the probable causes of its ordinary derangements, as to enable the reader to understand the action and effects of Sulphureous Vapour on the surface of the body, which he illustrates by well-authenticated facts. And we have now to repeat our obligations to him for having again thrown off the Masquerade of Technical Ohscurity aud Scientific Phra- seology, for the purpose of communicating intelligibly with the unprofessional and uninitiated readers to whom alone he addresses his advice and observations.—New Monthly Magazine.
