We have received the current number
of the Journal of Medicine and Science
which is the official organ OF the Maine
Academy of Medicine and Science. Al
though primarily intended for members
of the medical profession it is not with
out its value to the general reader. The
present number contains among other
interesting subjects an original article
on the Evolution of Pharmacy, which is
as curious in detail as interesting in fact.
The writer traces the enforcement of
medicine from superstition, shows how
erroneous theories were propagated and
finally abandoned, and speaks of TIL.
wonderful remedies and appliances which
in the hands of modern skilful practi-
toner avail for the alienation of pain.
Another interesting article is on the sub
ect of the relationship which exists be-
tween the apothecary and physician, the
conclusion being that there is no neces-
sity for mutua! usurpation if mutual fair
ness and candor existed in the professions.
1t is impossible i'll n hasty review to give
an adequate description of the excellence
of this publication. We can only recon-
mend it as being in orr opinion not only
learned and ably edited magazine, but
journal which is destined to exercise nc
meagre influence upon the honorable pro
fesson of which it is a representative
DR.. Holt, of Portland, Me-, well known
to many of our citizens by reputation. is
the editor in chief.
