This work has received the rare distinc- tion among medical works of reaching a second edition six months after its first ap- pearance. Many new prescriptions have also been inserted to illustrate the best modes of applying remedies.

No text-book on the principles and prac- tiee of medicine has ever met in this country with such general approval by medical stu- dents and practitioners as the work of Pro- fessor Flint. In all the medical colleges of the United States it is the favorite work upon Practice; and, as we have stated be- fore in alluding to it, there is no other medi- cal work that can be so generally found in the libraries of physicians. In every state and territory of this vast country the book that will be most likely to be found in the office of a medical man, whether in city, town, village, or at some cross-roads, is Flint's Practice. We make this statement to a considerable extent from personal observa- tion, and it is the testimony also of others. An examination shows that very considera- ble changes have been made in the sixth edition. The work may undoubtedly be re- garded as fairly representing the present state of the science of medicine, and as reflecting the views of those who exemplify in their practice the present stage of pro- gress of medical art. — Cincinnati Medical News, Oct. 1886.

The work is throughout profusely illustrated with reproductions of micro-photographs. We may say that the practical histologist This is, in part, an expansion of the little work published by the author some years ago, and his acknowledged skill as a practi- cal microscopist will give weight to his in- structions.

A departure which our author has taken is the greater attention paid to the causation of disease! and more especially to the etiological factors I St. Louis Med. and Surgical Jour., Jan. 1889. tainty ascribed to pathogenetic microbes. In this department he has been very full and explicit, not only in a descriptive man- ner, but in the technique of investigation.

On reading this manual of Dr. Abbott, any one familiar with the subject will readily recognize the fact that the book is not merely a compilation from other works, but one giving evidence of the originality of the author, as well as complete knowledge of the practical details of bacteriology. His "scheme for the study of an organism" furnishes an excellent guide to the student. Of equal importance is the chapter on disin- fectants, antiseptics and skin disinfection. It wiil form a valuable addition to the litera- ture of laboratory technique and bacterio- logical investigation.— The Therapeutic Ga- zette, May 16, 1892.

It has a thoroughly practical charac- ter, the subjects are treated with rare judg- ment, its conclusions are in accord with those of the leadirig practitioners of the art, and its literature is fully up to all the ad- follows this rule, and the author in his desire to be concise and practical is at times almost dogmatic, but this is entirely excusable con- sidering the admirable manner in which he has thus increased the usefulness of his work.— Medical Eecord, Jan. 17, 1891.
