Domestic Medicine and Hygiene. By William J. Russell, M.P. (Everett,

Bonverie, and Co.)--This is a handy little book, which, so far as a layman can judge of it, is written with good sense, and no pretence of teaching non-professional persons to doctor themselves safely, which is usually so dangerous a practice. It details the chief symptoms and the simpler treatment for ordinary diseases, and the use of most of the simpler drags.
