The preface to this work explains that the author enjoys, at the “Israelitenspital” of Pesth, a considerable field of experience, but is less overburdened with cases than are many physicians of hospitals where people of all creeds are received, and thus has time to study them individually with the greater care. We gather that this volume, which is the fruit of official labours during two years, is the first of a series which it is intended to publish, and it fairly enough fulfils the promise which the preface holds out. One of the most interesting parts of the book is the observations on “tuberculous” affections of the larynx. We must say, however, that the general treatment of the subject of tuberculosis disappoints us, and certainly does not come up to the standard of accurate and careful work which the author has set up for himself. It shows few traces of that wide acquaintance with modern pathological researches on its subject which is more than ever essential to the clinical observer who would throw any light, even by means of the most diligent labours, upon those matters which are really the _quæstiones vexatæ_ in regard to the nature and treatment of the various diseases commonly confounded under the name of tubercle. The last chapter in the book contains an interesting account of the author’s experience of the hypodermic injection of remedies. We observe with surprise that he comes to conclusions very unfavourable to the subcutaneous use of atropine, which he almost totally condemns. We entirely agree with him in the statement that doses as high as half a grain, or even less, will at times produce some cerebral and vaso-motor symptoms, but the persistent use of much smaller quantities does, we believe, meet with quite a different and a much higher measure of success. On the other hand, the author speaks with the warmest praise of the efficacy of hypodermic injection of morphia in all kinds of neuralgias; for these diseases he declares that there is no remedy comparable to it. _Annuaire de Thérapeutique, de Matière Médicale, de Pharmacie et de Toxicologie, pour 1869._ Par A.
