We must be content with barely noticing a work the

contents of which are of too technical a nature to be discussed in these columns, Loss of Weight, Blood-Spitting, and Lung Disease. By Horace Dobell, M.D. (J. and A. Churchill.)—Dr. Dobell is a well-known authority on this subject, and his labours in collecting facts from all accessible sources, as indicated in his" Annual Reports on Diseases of the Cheat," deserve the gratitude both of the profession and of the public.
