Alpine Winter in its Medical Aspects. By A. Tucker Wise,

M.D. (J. and A. Churchill.)—This is a second edition of a book which first appeared under the title of "Alpine Winter Cure." Subjects hitherto but little treated, as the quality of the air-treatment indoors, with the cognate topics of heating and lighting, are here dealt with. The health resorts specially discussed are Davos Plats, Wiesen, and St. Moritz.
