AB This is a second edition issued about five months after a first edition. The author has made some additions, notably articles on "Life Insurance Affected by Diseases of the Ear, Nose and Throat," "Autoscopy" and "Related Diseases of the Eye and Nose." The book contains a large number of illustrations. Many, as for example, one showing a mastoid operation (page 163), in which a large number of assistants are photographed, are of no scientific value. We doubt the wisdom of so many colored plates, as the coloring in many of them is deceptive, because they are not true to the appearance under natural or artificial light.In a volume of this size, treating the diseases of the ear, nose, pharynx and larynx, the consideration of each individual disease is necessarily rather unsatisfactory in such condensed form, inasmuch as there are so many treatises before the public covering the same subjects
