known American surgeons. Indeed, Professor White is perhaps as well known in this country in connection with the treatment of hypertrophied prostate by castration as any American surgeon. The anatomy of the various genito-urinary organs is given before their injuries and diseases are described ; and this we are inclined to think a very useful and convenient arrangement. As an illustration of how fully the subjects are considered, we may refer to a table giving the differential diagnosis of the various parts of the urethra affected in gonorrhoea. The attempt to give the reader an idea of the appearance of gonorrhoeal conjunctivitis by means of an uncoloured photograph, we must say, is a complete failure. The coloured photographs of venereal sores and syphilitic skin eruptions, also completely fail to represent the disease. Even coloured plates of venereal sores give a very imperfect idea of them. But the other illustrations in the book are very good, and some pictures of hypertrophied prostates from Watson are particularly fine. No less than 240 pages are devoted to syphilis. We are glad to see syphilitic epididymitis mentioned, though it is not very clearly described; but attention is called to the similarity of this disease to tuberculous conditions, a subject seldom referred to in books. We are interested in the strong view expressed in favour of litholapaxy in boys, and the encouraging statistics which are given. The important subject of cystoscopy receives adequate consideration, and some very needful cautions
