[blocks in formation]

There are a hundred paths that can be trodden; only let us be sure that we are treading our own path, not feebly shifting from track to track, not following too much the bidding of others, but knowing what interests us, what draws us, what we love and desire and above all keeping in mind that it is our business to understand and advise and conciliate each other.

E. F. Benson Compiled by H. B. ELLIOTT.

SPECIMEN THOUGHT :—

Telling the truth produces a very marked type of face, and in later life mutton-chop whiskers. That is why one always engages butlers with mutton-chop whiskers. They are sure to be reliable.

S. Baring-Gould Compiled by H. B. ELLIOTT.

SPECIMEN THOUGHT:

Our very waistcoats are a pretence: they assume to be all cloth, and are only cloth on the front that shows; they are calico behind. And so it is with our manners, our conversation: it is only half what it pretends to be.

A Chalice of Song Compiled by H. B. ELLIOTT.

Selections from WHITTIER

SPECIMEN THOUGHT:

And light is mingled with the gloom,
And joy with grief;

Divinest compensations come,

Through_thorns of judgment mercies bloom
In sweet relief.

From THE AMERICAN OBSERVER, by the late DR. E. M. HALE.

"This splendid volume is, altogether, the most complete Text Book for the use of the layman, student, and physician, which has ever been published for our School. Next to Baehr, it is the best work on practice, but its value is not confined to this department alone.

"A glance at its contents will convince anyone that it is a most comprehensive affair. Chapter I., on Hygiene, differs so much from ordinary chapters on that subject, that we specially commend it. It does not follow the beaten track of time worn recommendations, but is fully up to the most advanced discoveries in Hygiene. The references to bread, tea, coffee, cooking, water, air, sunlight, exercise, clothing, bathing, etc., are replete with original remarks such as we have never seen in any domestic or professional work of its character.

[ocr errors]

It is the little thing' which the layman and student want to know, not the broad generalities with which most authors deal. Dr. Ruddock points out clearly and minutely all the smaller points relating to such subjects, and this, we assert, is what makes the work so valuable.

"Chapter II., on the Signs and Symptoms of Disease, is far better than similar chapters in more pretentious works.

"We specially commend his chapter on the Accessories in the Treatment of Disease. The majority of students go out into practice with very nebulous ideas relative to the importance of these accessories, and they finally learn nearly all of them from old women and nurses. Dr. Ruddock gives plain and brief directions as to when and where they are needed, and in what they should consist, when used as adjuncts to Homeopathic treatment.

"If we had had such a work fifteen years ago, Homœopathy would have profited by it. To nine-tenths of old physicians, of large and long practice, it will prove an excellent guide and assistance in the treatment of disease."

Extracts from Reviews of Former Editions.

"In our opinion, Dr. Ruddock's Vade Mecum is the best work of the kind that has hitherto appeared; and where a work on domestic medicine is likely to be carefully used, we know of none that we can more confidently recommend."Homœopathic Review.

"A Homœopathic Cyclopædia, in which the author has met the requirements of medical students, junior practitioners, and Allopathic medical men commencing the study and practice of Homœopathy. It treats of the general conditions of health; the signs and symptoms of disease; the administration of medicine; accessories in the treatment of disease. Then of blood disease, constitutional diseases, diseases of the nervous system, of the eye, of the ear, of the nose, and of the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and cutaneous systems. Then the Materia Medica-a very full and minute description of Homœopathic remediesand Clinical Directory, with an Index to the whole work, facilitating immediate reference to any complaint or remedy."-Dundee Advertiser.

"A work which has been called for so frequently by the public as this, and within so short a time since its original publication, must be possessed of more than ordinary merit. We shall only add that we know of no volume on the subject better calculated to suit the requirements alike of the popular investigator and the professional student than that of Dr. Ruddock.”—Edinburgh Daily Review. "From preface to index it wears the aspect of a text-book, suited alike to the professional student, the clergyman of a parish, and the head of a family.”— Church Standard.
