Domestic Medicine: Plain and Brief Directions for the Treatment Requisite

before Advice can be Obtained. By Offiey Bohan Shore. (W. P. Nimmo.)—Dr. Shore does not want to deprive his colleagues of any patients, and therefore his directions are professedly imperfect. He also does not want to countenance hommopathy, and therefore in telling of a cure for cholera which is said to have been very success- ful in Italy, and which consists of the administration of camphor, he does not mention that camphor is one of the homoeopathic remedies, and that the kind of camphor to be given is the homompathie camphor. Yet his directions in general are plain and serviceable, and his book ought to be kept at hand in families which are not close to the family doctor.
