    Paths and Bathing: A Booh for Everybody. By Joseph Farrar, L.R.C.P. Ed. Fourth Edition. Bristol : John Wright & Co. 1890. This is a most interesting and instructive little book, suitable for the general reader. In addition to full information with regard to the different kinds of baths, and the rules to be observed in bathing, it contains a most instructive historical retrospect beginning with the statement contained in the ■second chapter of Exodus, fifth verse, that “ The daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river.” We would ■advise all our readers to lay out a shilling and procure the book—it would be money well spent. Introduction to the Treatment of Disease by Galvanism. By Skene Keith, M.B., F.R.C.S. Ed., late Special Assistant Surgeon, Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh. London: Truslove & Shirley. This little book comprises within its 62 pages much informa- tion on the subject of which it treats. The matter is very elementary, but it seems to the writer that no one will be able to read the book and fail to thoroughly grasp the rudi- mentary principles of electricity, a knowledge of which is becoming daily of greater importance to the general prac- titioner. The last chapter treats of Electrolysis, upon which Dr. Keith is well entitled to speak. To those commencing ■a study of electricity this little work can be strongly recom°- mended.
