BERT MACNISH, Member of the Faculty of Phy-
tsilians and Snrgeons, Glasgow. The Third Edition, cor-
rected, in foolscap Svo. Price Six Shillings.
" This little book is evidently the production of a man
a! getting. The style is singularly neat, terse, concise, and
vigorous, far beyond the reach of an ordinary mind. The
strain of sentiment is such as does infinite honour to the
Anthor's heart; and the observation of human life, by
*hi" every page is characterised, speaks a bold, active,
and philosophical intellect. As a medical treatise, it is
excellent : and to those who stand in need of advice and
warning it is worth a hundred sermons."—Blackwood's
Alagaaine.
" This is the most amusing of all medical, and most
mediae of all amusing works."—London Weekly Review.
" We take oar leave of the author, assuring him that
we have been much pleased and interested with his work.
It appears to us to form the best essay on drunkenness
which has been produced."—Monthly Magazine.
