Among the more recent curiosities of German medical literature, we
find that JOS. HEINRICH BEISEN of Quedlinburg, has written a work on
homoepathy as applicable to the diseases of swine. J. HOPPE of
Magdeburg, has set forth another, entitled _Linen and cotton Garments
considered in a medical light_, which is highly recommended by a
competent judge. C. GEROLD, of Vienna, publishes for the Count (and
physician--we know not which is the more honorable title)--VON
FEUCHTERSLEBEN, a singular book, entitled _Zur Diätetik der Seele,
Valere aude!_ which is not, however, as one might infer from the
title, a theory of the method whereby the health of the soul itself
may be preserved; but the art of regulating our physical well being by
a correct management and strengthening of our mental powers. Count
Feuchtersleben had already attained a reputation as a writer, and the
work referred to, though in many particulars superficial, is not
without merit. Last and least, Dr. GIDEON BRECHER, hospital physician
at Pressnitz, publishes through Asher & Co., in Berlin, an octavo on
_Transcendental Magic, and the supernatural methods of curing Disease,
as given in the Talmud_, in which he enters largely into Theo-Dæmon
and Angelology; as well as dreams, visions, biblical seraphims, cosmic
and magic influences of the soul, with a scattering fire of amulets,
spells and charms. We congratulate the medical faculty on this
important addition to the literature of the healing art.
