The Sanitarian for December completes
its seventeenth volume. This number,
with the index, abundantly justifies the
consensus of opinion that this magazine
unquestionably stands at the head of sani-
tary publications in this country. The
first paper in this number-Report upon
the Museum of Hygiene, Washington, by
Thomas j. Turner, Medical Director, u.
S. Navy-is of unusual value, inasmuch
as it gives a full description of the re-
sources of the museum-a storehOuse of
everything illustrative of the mechanics
OF hygiene. The Sanitarian is a thoroughly
live periodical, filled with eminently
practical articles by the best writers on
sanitary subjects, adapted to the cOmpre-
hension of all intelligent readers, and not,
as some persons suppose, specially In
tended for medical practitioners. The
Sanitarian, 2. o. box2, 1856, New York
