GO. For some years past there has been a growing demand for something more satisfactory and more practical in the way of literature on the subject of aero- therapeutics. On all sides professional men of standing and ability are turning their attention to the use of the gaseous elements/ as remedies in disease, as well as sustainers in health. In prosecuting their inquiries, the first hindrance has been the want of any reliable or satisfactory literature on the subject. This work, translated from the French of Professor Demarquay, contains also a very full account of recent English, German, and American experiences, prepared by Dr. Samuel S. Wallian, of New York, whose experience in this field has been more extensive than that of any other American writer on the subject. This is a handsome volume of 300 pages, | in large print, on good paper, and nicelv ill us- | trated. Although nominally pleading for the use of oxygen inhalations, the author shows in | a philosophical manner how much greater I good physicians might do if they more fully ; appreciated the value of fresh-air exercise and water, especially in diseases of the lungs, kid- neys, and skin. We commend its perusal to our readers. The Canada Medical Record. The book should be widely read, for to many it will bring the addition of a new weapon to their therapeutic armament.
