AB In this attractive volume the writer has set forth, in a lucid and readable form, the results of thirteen years' clinical and pathological study of Bright's Disease. The reader cannot fail to be pleased, entertained and instructed by its perusal, for it is one of those books that are " easy to read," while replete with information. It is thoroughly practical and admirably suited to the needs of the practitioner. The various chemical and microscopical tests for the detection of the disease are well described, and the classical descriptions of the various clinical features of disease are admirably illustrated by short selected reports of the author's cases. The work is divided into three sections, with subdivisions of chapters as follows:Chapter I. Albuminuria."II. Pathology of Dropsy."III. Pathological Relations of Tube Casts."IV. Cardio-Vascular Changes."V. Pathology of Polyuria."VI. Pathology of Uræmia."VII. Retinal Changes.
