Home Treatment for Catarrhs and
Colds" is by Leonard a. Dessar, NJ. D.,
and is from the press of the Home Series
Publishing Company, New York, and of
Ballliere, Tindall Il Co., London. It is a
handy guide, says the authOr-a New
ork speclalist-for the prevention, care
and treatment of catarrhal troubles, cold
ln the head. sore throat, nay fever, hoarse-
ness, ear affections, eIc. We have not
much faith in any book that proposes to
make every man his own doctor. This
little volume does not, however, go TO
that extent, or claim TO. 1t proposes
TO advise people what to do when it is
not necessary TO call the physician and to
oroaden information among people con-
cernlng things they ought to know rela-
tive TO their bodies. We do not exactly
llke the idea of the prescriptions given III
the Dook, however, since 1t implies that
one is able by aid of the volume TO dag
nose his own case, which not once in fifty
times can be successfully done. How
ever, aside from this, and the receipts be-
ing after all simple affairs, we lind much
useful matter in the book. The topics are
| OF more than ordinary interest to the
general reader in view of the prevalence
OF catarrhal troubles in this country, ow-
ing to our variable atmospheric condi-
tlons. In simple language, devoid OF
technical verbiage, the author describes
the structure and functions of the nose,
throat and ear. the various affections Of
these organs, their causation and symp-
toms, prevention and treatment. Illus
trations have been added, wherever
deemed necessary, both to show the ap
pearances or the various apparatuses re-
qulred and TO aid the readers in under
standing their manner of application.
