Reports from many Conservative Physicians give assurance that TUBERCULOSIS CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY TREATED WITH SOL. ANTI-PHTHISIS (Lloyd) Formula with a three-ounce sample bottle of SOL. ANTI-PHTHISIS (LLOYD), for each patient you have suffering with Tuberculosis, will be sent you free, prepaid, upon request if mention is made of this Journal. Within a short period after beginning treatment there will be a marked decrease or entire disappearance of the night sweats, the pulse and temperature reduced, the cough relieved, the appetite improved and nearly always a gain in weight. We advertise to and do business with Physicians only. Our preparation is ethical. Now, Doctor, don't be too skeptical; we would rather you would use SOL.

We have some interesting literature just out, which we would like to send you, with a complete set of clinical reports, etc. We want you on our list, and await your demands. J. Q. Lloyd Chemical Company ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI gical operations in general, foreign bodies, and bandaging. The second part of the work is really the clinical portion, devoted to regional surgery. Herein the author especially endeavors to emphasize those injuries and surgical diseases that are of the greatest importance, not only because of their frequency, but also because of the difficulty of diagnosis and the special care demanded in their treatment. Throughout special attention has been given to diagnosis, the section on laboratory aids being unusually excellent. The text is elaborately illustrated with entirely new and original illustrations, and evidently neither labor nor expense has been spared to bring this feature of the work up to the highest standard of artistic and practical excellence.

URIC ACID THE CHEMISTRY, PHYSIOLOGY, AND PATHOLOGY OF URIC ACID, and the Physiologically Important Purin Bodies; with a discussion of the Metabolism in Gout. By Francis H. McCrudden. From Paul B. Hoeber, Medical Books, 69 E. Fiftyninth St., New York. Paper cover, 308 pages. Price, $2.50, net; canvas, $3, net. The importance of metabolism in certain diseases, e. g., chronic bone disease, rheumatoid-arthritis, osteo-arthritis, osteo-deformans, etc., is not understood and appreciated as it should be, nor is the role that uric acid plays as a factor of numerous pathological conditions. "Uric acid affects not only the blood, but influences in a Entero-Colitis, Cholera Infantum, Peritonitis. In acute inflammatory conditions of the intestinal tract Antiphlogistine will be found of great value. It will not take the place of proper diet and internal medication, but by relieving the local congestion and soothing the nervous system, it will be found to be an inestimable adjuvant.

As regards the tissues, it controls the production of energy and the production of heat to an extent which, acting as it does, from bone to bone throughout the whole of life, can not but be of enormous importance. But more recent advocates have carried us far beyond this, and we can now say, with absolute certainty, that uric acid controls and conditions the capillary circulation of the whole body, and thus regulates bloodpressure, the heart action, the nutrition of the heart and vessels, the nutrition of the tissue, and all the metabolic phenomena which constitute the life of the body to its minutest cells." (Haig. Uric Acid as a Factor in the Causation of Disease. Sixth edition, 1903.) Dr. McCrudden has in the book before us treated the subject. fully, lucidly and impressively, thereby making a valuable contrilution to the literature of the subject and rendering an importart service to mankind and the medical profession especially.

Price not stated. J. B. Lippincott Co., Philadelphia and London, 1906. Just issued. This book is most timely, as never before in the history of the world has there been such widespread interest in the study of this dread disease in the endeavor to devise and put into execution measures for its restriction and prevention. And it seems to be very thorough in its scope and aim, teeming with valuable data gleaned from a wide field of observation. The author says: "It is a comprehensive exposition of the effects which consumption has had upon civilization and a consideration of its relation to human affairs." * * "Manifestly, medical science can not cope alone and unaided with this difficult and prodigious world-problem; many forces, economic, legislative, sociological, humanitarian, must be enlisted." It is interesting and important to note that the fourth biennial session of the American International Congress on Tuberculosis will be held in New York City in November, 1906, for the purpose of dealing with the subject in the relations above mentioned.
