KING ON LITHOTRITY AND LITHOTOMY.

DR. KING'S book on the Stone is an important work; and forms an apt continuation of Baron HEURTELOUP'S treatise on the same subject, which we noticed some time ago. The Baron entered.

chiefly into the actual description of the new operation of Litho- trity (of which he is one of the disCoverers) ; Dr. KING dwells chiefly on a comparison of Lithotrity and Lithotomy,—the terrors and dangers of which he sums up greatly to the advantage of the former. The book is one that no practical surgeon ought to be without.
