    mTICES OF THE PRESS—{continued). “Dr. Murrell has identified his name with this remedy, and here brinq’s together his published papers concerning it, in a connected form. Com- parative sphygmographic tracings show well the main difference in its action from that of amyl- nitrite, viz., that the characteristic effect on the circulation and tension is more slowly produced, but lasts longer. Several of the cases are very striking, and well illustrate the at least tempo- rary advantage to be obtained from the drug.”— British Medical Journal, July 29, 1882. “To Dr. Murrell we must give the credit for the re-iutroduction of uitro-glycerine into prac- tice, and especially for pointing out its value in certain cases of angina pectoris. This little book contains a short account of the history of the drug, and the notes of those cases of angina pec- toris in which Dr. Murrell has administered it, together with some general remarks on the mode of administration, dosage, etc.”— Birmingham Medical Review, Dec. 1882. “ In this well arranged and clearly written lit- tle volume. Dr. Murrell introduces to the serious notice of the profession a substance which has been long in use for its destructive powers; but which now promises well to do something for the relief of human suffering.”—London Medical Record, Nov. 15, 1882.
