SOUTHERN JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL
SCIENCES. We have received the November
number Of this excellent medical quarterly.
Its contents are on subjects of the highest in.
terest to the profession, of very great variety
and generally ofweight and authority. A hand
some biographical tribute to the memory of the
late DR.. Fenner commences the number. Avery
important though brief article is one by DR.
Mitchell, on a case in which ulcer, tetanus
and death followed the hypodermie injection
of quinine. A paper on the preparation O
Efervescent Granules, byIlIr. Laster, is a very
useful one. The second of DIR. Crawcour's
lectures on urinary deposits, etc, and the ar.
ticle Of. DR.. Brickell on the obstetric forceps
are very valuable contributions towards the
j spread Of professional knowledge. In short,
this number Of the Journal is worthy of the
patronage to which it aspires. We read with
some surprise, however, the singular1y weak
production in opposition to quarantine. That
&. On the Capillary Circulation" is not more
satisfactory in treatment, whatever it may b.
in theory. The article on the derivation of thu
word cholera is pregnant instance of typo
; graphical errors, such as the printers ough
not to allow SO frequently as they do; and az
Z we have got down to e the trifing reinemen1
of verbal criticism, we will deferentally pro
test against any such Understanding an ar.
chaism as we find in the phrase, t'the intellect
was gradually obtunded." Taken as a whole
the publication will, notwithstanding these
minor points, compare most favorably Will
any similar one produced in this country.
