The Climatic Treatment of Consumption. By James Alexander Lindsay, M.A.,

M.D. (Macmillan.)—Dr. Lindsay possesses two special qualifications for his task. One is positive, he has visited many sanatoria; the other is negative, he is not interested in any one in particular, for no one would go to Belfast, where he practises, for this disease. He is familiar with many places in Australasia, has visited Cape Colony and California, spent a winter in Algeria, and made acquaintance with the Riviera and with the high-altitude health resorts. He limits his remarks to the places which he knows by personal experience, and deals fairly with each. We do not pretend to criticise his judgments, and can only commend them to the atten- tion of our readers.
