Medicine of the University of Edinburgh, etc. etc. etc.
'This is one of the medicine books that ought to be published. It does
not recommend any particular system, and it is not in any sense an
advertisement for fees. It is from the pen of Dr. Shore, an eminent
physician, and it is dedicated, by permission, to Sir James Y. Simpson,
Bart., one of the first physicians of the age. We can recommend it to
the attention of heads of families and to travellers.'--_The Standard._

BY THE AUTHOR OF 'EMBLEMS OF JESUS.'
'There is a fitness and adaptability in this book for the purpose it

general acceptance, not only in the home circle, but wherever suffering

Times._
By the same Author, uniform in style and price,
LIGHT ON THE GRAVE.
'This is a book for the mourner, and one full of consolation. Even a
heathen poet could say, "_Non omnis moriar_;" and the object of this
book is to show how little of the good man can die, and how thoroughly
the sting of death, deprived of its poison, may be extracted. It is the
work of one who has apparently suffered, and obviously reflected much;
and, having traversed the vale of weeping, offers himself for a guide
to the spots where the springs of comfort flow, and where the sob
passes into the song.... The form and elegance of the book, we must
add, make it peculiarly suitable as a gift.'--_Daily Review._
