A Treatise on Gout and Rheumatic Gout. By A. B.
Garrod, M.D., F.R.S. (Longman, Green, and Co.)—The first edition of Dr. Garrod's valuable work on Gout and Rheumatic Gout (or" Rheuinatoid Arthritis," as the latter disease is more correctly named) appeared in 1860. The second edition, which was published some years later, has been out of print for several years, and the present volume will, therefore, be gladly received by the medical profession. The whole work has under- gone a careful revision, and much new matter has been introduced, both from the author's later investigations, and from those of Dr. Charcot, by whom the work has been translated into French. Some of Dr. Charcot's original illustrations have also been added. It is satisfactory to find that sixteen years' further experience has not led the author to change his opinions on any important point, and the additions and alterations only amplify and support the views put forward in 1860.
