NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will he
appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance
of distinguishing between ' irritative' and `inflammatory' action in
determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of
opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for
the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr.
Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro-
ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us
conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having careftilly
perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it
ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con-
tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of
symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed,
but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices
of the unskilful and the empiric."

From Bell's Life in London.—•• We recommend this little troAtige
to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them
off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the
ruinous banks founded by manalaughtering quacks."

From the London Mer Candle Journal.--'; Mr. Franks is evidently
an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in
treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast
amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un-
happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the
means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea-
lousies which sever the peace of families."
