FISCHER-INFANT FEEDING IN ITS RELATION TO HEALTH AND DISEASES. A Modern Book on all Methods of Feeding. For Students, Practitioners, and Nurses. By Louis Fischer, M. D., Visiting Physician to the Willard Parker and Riverside Hospitals, of New York City; Attending Physician to the Children's Service of the New York German Poliklinik; Former Instructor in Diseases of Children at the New York PostGraduate Medical School and Hospital; Fellow of the New New York Academy of Medicine, etc. Third edition, thoroughly revised and largely rewritten. Containing 54 illustrations with 24 charts and tables, mostly original. 357 pages, 5x8 inches. Neatly bound in extra cloth. Price, $2.00 net. F. A. Davis Company, Publishers, 1914-16 Cherry Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

Infant feeding is a subject of first importance. The health of many children is ruined for life by neglect, through ignorance, of attention to this matter. We have seen many dyspeptics who were made so by too much sugar or too much starch in early infancy. Every mother should have the benefit of correct teaching on the subject.

ATLAS AND EPITOME OF OPERATIVE GYNECOLOGY. By Dr. 0. Schaffer, of Heidelberg. Edited, with additions, by J. Clarence Webster, M. D. (Edin.), F. R. C. P. E., Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Rush Medical College, in affiliation with the University of Chicago. With 42 lithographic plates in colors, many text cuts, a number in colors, and 138 pages of text. Philadelphia, New York, London: W. B. Saunders & Company. 1904. Cloth, $3.00 net.

This new addition to Saunders' admirable series of HandAtases is excellent. It is unfortunate that medical students graduating each year know less about gynecologic operations than about almost any other department of operative surgery. atlas, therefore, is opportune, and the excellence of the lithographic plates and the many other illustrations render it of the greatest value in obtaining a sound and practical knowledge of operative gynecology. Indeed, the artist, the author, and the lithographer have evidently expended much patient endeavor in the preparation of the water-colors and drawings. They are based on hundreds of photographs taken from nature and reproduce faithfully and instructively the various situations which they intend to illustrate. The text closely follows the illustrations, and we have found it fully as accurate. We consider it of great value to the up-to-date practitioner and surgeon, as well as to the specialist.

Remarks on Clyco-Thymoline.

BY W. R. D. BLACKWOOD, M. D., PHILADELPHIA, PA.

For many years past this preparation has been one of my mainstays in diseases of the mucous membranes, and it has held its place despite the trials of many other agents warranted to supplant it by the advocates who decried Glyco-Thymoline when I spoke of its virtues. Space is now getting too valuable to waste with long detailed descriptions of separate cases, and anyhow I never did write in that manner-I think general remarks about agents is the better way-and we need this more than stories of symptoms and temperatures, with daily alterations. No class of maladies is more troublesome than disorders of the mucous membranes, and none more difficult to eradicate thoroughly, and we have been put to our wit's end many times for remedial agents in such cases. The local treatment of catarrhs is frequently disappointing, and none more so than that prevalent-one-post-nasal catarrh. Unless we can get an alterative condition established little good is done, and nothing has been of greater service to me than Glyco-Thymoline, locally and internally, in several hundreds of long-standing and severe cases of this intractable and common affliction. I have come to regard this preparation as a standard and almost routine remedy; I seldom care for a post-nasal trouble without prescribing it at the onset, and if I don't it is not long before it comes into use. It is just alkaline enough, just so as to the dialysis-(the action locally with exactly the right amount of fluid excretion through the diseased membrane), just enough astringent without drying the parts, and just the right thing in the direct line of reparative work; it sets up tissue building soon after the membrane gets somewhere near its right shape. Many things are employed in catarrh, but I firmly believe that if I was confined to one agent only, that would be Glyco-Thymoline. For years I used the so-called antiseptic tablets of boric acid, and glycerin, etc., and with good results, but for a long time past this is thrown aside and the Glyco-Thymoline takes its place. I use it in about half strength with a Bermingham douche and from twice to four times daily. With this, in bad cases, I give it internally, adding to it, or giving separately, mercuric bichloride, and if done separately the menstrum is compound syrup of stillingia. In presumed syphilitic persons I always do this.

In gastritis, chronic enteritis, vaginitis, gonorrhoea, and in recurring attacks of what too many physicians deem appendicitis, I use this agent freely, and always with good results. As a local applicaion to foul ulcers and especially to hemorrhoids, I think this

preparation is very good. In the nasty leg ulcers which now and then defy all remedies, Glyco-Thymoline does wonders-it can't do harm any time, and I am almost persuaded to give it in all instances. In bronchitis and asthma it is fine; in spasmodic croup it fills the bill nicely; it does well in venereal disorders locally, and in balanitis it stops the trouble at once.-Medical Summary, December, 1903.

T. L. Forest, cashier of the old Hide and Leather National Bank, says: "Deposited with us thirteen years; are men of capacity and integrity." Dr. W. C. Abbott, editor of the Alkaloid Clinic: "It gives me pleasure to recommend your agency." Dr. A. J. McIntosh, in the Medical World for August, speaking of physicians' collections, says: "Then I tried the UNITED STATES AND CANADA MERCANTILE AGENCY, of Chicago. First and last I sent them accounts amounting to between $900 and $1000. would have taken $125 for the lot and thought it a good bargain. I acted honestly with them and tried to keep up my end of the single-tree all the way through. They collected close to $600 of the amount. When money was sent to me, I sent them their share, and when it was paid them, they sent me my share, so the matter went smoothly along with no complaints to make on either side. No man was sued, but they talked the money out of these hardtacks, and left them in fairly good humor. I can recommend them to anyone needing their service."
