    DAVIS. Conservative Surgery, as exhibited in remedying some of the Mechanical Causes that operate injuri- ously both in Health and Disease. With Illustrations. By HENRY G-. DAYIS, M. D., Member of the American Medical Association, etc., etc. 1 vol., 8vo. 315 pp. Cloth, $3.00. The author has enjoyed rare facilities for the study and treatment of certain classes of disease, and the records here presented to the pro- fession are the gradual accumulation of over thirty years' investigation. Dr. Davis, bringing, as he does to his specialty, a great aptitude for the solution of mechanical problems, takes a high rank as an orthopedic surgeon, and his very practical contribution to the literature of the subject is both valu- able and opportune. We deem it worthy of a place in every physician's library. The style is unpretending, but trenchant, graphic, and, best of all, quite intelli- gible.—Medical Record. ECKER The Cerebral Convolutions of Man, represented according to Personal Investigations, es- pecially on their Development in the Foetus, and with reference to the Use of Physicians. By ALEXANDER ECKER, Professor of Anatomy and Comparative Anatomy in the University of Freiburg. Translated from the German by Robert T. Edes, J/L D. 1 vol., 8vo. 87 pp. $1.25. The work of Prof. Ecker is noticeable principally for its succinctness and clearness, avoiding long discussions on undecided points, and yet sufficiently furnished with references to make easy its comparison with the labors of oth- ers in the same direction. Entire originality in descriptive anatomy is out of the question, but the facts verified by our author are here presented in a more intelligible manner than in any other easily-accessible work. The knowledge to be derived from this work is not furnished by any other text-book in the English language.—Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, January 20, 1873.
