"This volume is intended to present the subject of pathology in as practical a form as possible, and more especially from the point of view of the 'clinical pathologist.' These objects have been faithfully carried out, and a valuable text-book is the result. We can most favorably recommend it to our readers as a thoroughly practical work on clinical pathology." * * * * * Stiles' Nutritional Physiology ~Nutritional Physiology.~ By PERCY GOLDTHWAIT STILES, Assistant Professor of Physiology at Simmons College, Boston. 12mo of 295 pages, illustrated. Cloth, $1.25 net. ~ILLUSTRATED~ This new work expresses the most advanced views on this important subject. It discusses in a concise way the processes of digestion and metabolism. The key-word of the book throughout is "energy"--its source and its conservation. "It is remarkable for the fineness of its diction and for its clear presentation of the subject, relieved here and there by a quaintly humorous turn of phrase that is altogether delightful."--_Colin C. Stewart, Ph. D., Dartmouth College._ * * * * * Jordan's General Bacteriology ~A Text-Book of General Bacteriology.~ By EDWIN O. JORDAN, PH.D., Professor of Bacteriology in the University of Chicago and in Rush Medical College. Octavo of 623 pages, illustrated. Cloth, $3.00 net. ~NEW (3d) EDITION~ Professor Jordan's work embraces the entire field of bacteriology, the non-pathogenic as well as the pathogenic bacteria being considered, giving greater emphasis, of course, to the latter. There are extensive chapters on methods of studying bacteria, including staining, biochemical tests, cultures, etc.; on the development and composition of bacteria; on enzymes and fermentation-products; on the bacterial production of pigment, acid and alkali; and on ptomaines and toxins. Especially complete is the presentation of the serum treatment of gonorrhea, diphtheria, dysentery, and tetanus. The relation of bovine to human tuberculosis and the ocular tuberculin reaction receive extensive consideration. This work will also appeal to academic and scientific students. It contains chapters on the bacteriology of plants, milk and milk-products, air, agriculture, water, food preservatives, the processes of leather tanning, tobacco curing, and vinegar making; the relation of bacteriology to household administration and to sanitary engineering, etc. ~Prof. Severance Burrage~, _Associate Professor of Sanitary Science, Purdue University._ "I am much impressed with the completeness and accuracy of the book. It certainly covers the ground more completely than any other American book that I have seen." * * * * * Buchanan's Veterinary Bacteriology
