    gMITH(J. LEWIS), M.D., Clinical Professor of Diseases of Children in the Bellevue Hospital Med. College, N. T. A COMPLETE PRACTICAL TREATISE OX THE DISEASES OP CHILDREN. Fifth Edition, thoroughly revised and rewritten. In one handsome oc- tavo volume of 836 pages, with illustrations. Cloth, $4 50; leather, $5 50; very hand- some half Russia, raised hands, $6. (Just Ready.) That a book professing to treat of diseabes uf chil- dren should have reached a fifth ediiion is iD Itself fair evideuce of its worth, the more especially as it has pot the field to itself, but has to compete with neveral other excellent manuals. The chapter on Rachitis is excellent, and well up to the day—a re- mark which may with equal justice be applied to the chapter on Scrofula, which is one of the best we remember to have read. The diseases of the nervous system are well described, and so, for tbe most part, are those of the lungp. Dr. Smith would appear to be quire an. c our ant with the work done <jn this hide of the world, and refers freely to English and foreign authors, as well as to periodicals especially devoted to children's diseases.—British Medical Journal, May 6, 1882. Dr. Smith is a careful observer and painstakiug writer. He has enjoyed unusual facilities which would enable him to write a practical and useful book, and that he has succeeded is attested l-v the appearance of successive editions of his work. There in no doubt but that it will long retain its place as a standard text-book among students and praarltion- ers.—American Journal of Obstetrics, Jan. 18S2. There is no book published on the subjectB of which this odp treats that is its equal in value to the physician. While he has said just enough to imparl the information desired by general practitioners on such questions as etiology, pathology, prognosis, etc , he has devoted more attention to the diagnosis and treatment of the ailments which he so accu- rately describe, and such information ia exactly what is wanted by the vast majority of family physicians.—Virginia Med. Monthly, Feb. 1883, The appearance of a fifth edition of this work is sufficient att 'Station of its great value to the prac- titioners of the country, a&d of the use they are disposed to make of it. Unquestionably it i* the best work on the maladies of childhood in the Eng- lish language, and in any foreign language we know of no work which will compare with it. That the fifth edition his been thoroughly revised and brought up to date an attentive (or even careless) perusal will abundantly df-close.—Canadian Jour- nal of Med Science, Feb. 18S2. The Improvements that have been added bring the work fully abreast of the times. We ran assure our readers that they can procure no better work on infancy and childhood for reference and study than this one— Cincinnati Med. Ntios, Jan. 1S82. K 'EATING {JOHN M.), M.D., Lecturer on the Diseases of Children at the. University of Pennsylvania, etc. THE MOTHER'S GUIDE IN TI1E MANAGEMENT AND FEED- ING OF INFANTS. In one handsome 12mo. volume of 118 pages. Cloth, $1 00. {Now Ready.) The title of this little book is well chosen, and Dr. Keating has written a work which should be read, and its precepts followed by every intelligent mo- ther in this country. It is free from all technical terms, the language is clear and distinct, and so carefully written that it caunot fail to become popu- lar. It has always been a mooted question how far it Is well to instruct the public, but works like this one will aid the physician immensely, for it save* the time he is constantly giviug his patients in in- structing them on the subjects here dwelt upon so thoroughly and practically. Dr. Keating has writ- ten a practical book, has carefully avoided unne- cessary repetition, and, I think, succe-sfully in- structed the mother in such details of the treatment of her child as devolve upon her; he has studiously omitted giving prescriptions, and instruct the mo- ther when to call upon the doctor, as his duties are totally distinct from hers.—American Journal of Obstetrics.
