Baths and Wells of Europe. Ry John Macpherson, M.D. (Stan-

ford.)—The usefulness of this work is shown by the issue of a third and revised edition. Baths and wells may be, indeed, are, of great value in themselves, but the majority of cures attributed to them undoubtedly owe their efficacy to a change of diet and scene, and also from an indolent to an active life, the chief item being, perhaps, early rising. This is not the less true because it will not be allowed by patients. The map of European baths will be found of great use in aiding the discussions on disorders and their baths.
