Shaw's Medical Remembrancer ; or, Book of Emergencies. Fifth Edition,

rewritten and much enlarged by Jonathan Hutchinson, F.R.C.S. (Churchill.)—In this valuable little book, the treatment to be at once adopted in cases of poisoning, drowning, burns, fits of apoplexy, and accidents generally, is described clearly and briefly. The instructions given seem easy to follow, though they are meant for doctors as much as for laymen. But to whomsoever they are addressed, they are of the utmost importance, as sudden attacks are too apt to come on at the times when they are least wanted, and to deprive the bystanders of that presence of mind which is essential to meet them.
