    Although the fifth edition of this text-book was very large, a year's time has brought so pressing a demand for a new one, that the author, in preparing it, has been obliged to confine himself to the most essential improvements and additions. There is an entirely new chapter on influenza, a disease which had almost been forgotten, when the last great epidemic brought it prominently to medical attention. Quite important changes and additions have been made in the chapters on cholera, malaria, diseases of the nose and larynx, syringo- myelia, and diabetes. The appendix on poisons has also been considerably enlarged. The author sends out this new edition with the wish that it may not only be of practical benefit to those for whom it is written, but may also add to their pleasure and interest in their vocation. Adolf Strumpell.
