100 & 1872 Nassau St., n. Y. DR.. Dixon,
long known as an eminent surgeon, standing
ut the very head Of the profession, and cele-
brated likewise as the author of several pop
ular works on health, physiology, &C., has
found time, amid his various and laborious
duties, to produce a book, many scenes in
which arc pronounced fully equal, if not SUI
perior, to DIR. Warren's celebrated diary
of u London Physician with this additional
interest, that they are actual occurrences in
everyday life, happening in our very midst,
not matters of fancy.
In addition to the Scenes, are several ar
ticles on health, written in a popular man
ncr, each Of which is alone worth the price
of the book. And we particularly recon-
mend to mothers the Treatises on Scarlet Fe-
yer, Hopping Cough, Group, Consumption,
&C., rs presenting to all, in a clear and lu-
cid Manner, the proper treatment of these
common diseases. The book is beautifully
gotten up the illustrations by barley are
magnificent.
