entatlon of important scientific and therapeutic factB, too seldom even slightly understood by the profession. The publishers have done their part admirably, making this book a model one. The only objection that can be raised is, that they have made the book too good; and that its expensiveness may limit its sale. Price $4.00." Prom the Louisville Medical News. " It is doubtless true that the great majority of specialists are the most consummate quacks, and it is equally true that from the investigations of other honorable specialists the cause of truth has been most illuminated. It is the part of wisdom, therefore, to discriminate between these two classes. It is very easy to determine to which of these classes the author of the noble work before us belongB, (Garratt on the Medical Uses of Electricity,) and equally easy to perceive that he is a gentleman of learning, and a profound and prac- tical thinker. A careful perusal of the work will convince any one, that judgment formed from the opinions or treatment of travelling or local electropathists may be very unjust, and that there is a veritable potency in the modification of electricity for the treatment of disease, which we may not safely ignore. The author's propositions, and the scientific bases claimed for them, are modestly suggested. The work is published by Ticknor & Fields, of Boston. It is beautifully executed and illustrated, and if the profession be true to its own interest, another edition will soon be demanded." From the Georgia Medical and Surgical Encyclopedia. The work before us {Medical Uses of Electricity by Garratt) is one which we can recom- mend to our friends with pleasure, for by its study they will obtain both knowledge and profit. He treats this subject calmly, deliberately, and scientifically, — an honor to himself, md a credit to his country. This work should be in the hands of every Btudent of medicine, )f every practitioner in the land. If the profession is true to themselves, their own interests, ind the interests of their patients, several editions will have to be issued to supply the demand. From the Medical and Surgical Journal, St. Joseph, Mo. " The author (Dr. Garratt) has produced a very valuable work on the medical and surgi- al uses of Electricity; the first attempt at a complete and systematic work on this sub- jet, we believe, ever made in America. How striking the coincidence, that Boston, the rBt home of Dr. Benjamin Franklin, should produce this work ! We regard this book B a great boon to the profession, and as furnishing information that a majority of tedical men now require, and cannot longer, with credit to themselves, fail to possess. loyal 8vo., 700 pages, 100 cuts.
