by H. Siemsen, M.D., of Copenhagen, in fibroma and
myoma uteri, inoperable and with offensive hemorrhage.
Also in impetiginous eczema (crusta lactea) and torpid

“ This splendid volume is, altogether, the most complete Text Book for the use
of the layman, student, and physician, which has ever been published for our
School. Next to Baehr, it is the best work on practice, but its value is not confined
to this department alone.
“A glance at its contents will convince any one that it isa most comprehensive
affair. Chapter I.,on Hygiene, differs so much from 0} chapters on that
subject, that we es ly commend it. It does not follow the beaten track of
time-worn recommendations, but is fully up to the most advanced discoveries in
Hygiene. The references to bread, tea, coffee, cooking, water, air, sunlight, exer-
cise, clothing, bathing, &c., are replete with original remarks such as we have never
seen in any domestic or professional work of its character.
“It is the ‘little thing’ which the layman and the student want to know, not the
broad generalities with which most authors deal. Dr. Ruddock points out clearly
and utely all the smaller points relating to such subjects, and this, we assert, is
what makes the work so valuable.
“ Chapter IL., on the 8 and Symptoms of Disease, is far better than similar
chapters in more pretentious works.
“We es] ly commend his chapters on the Accessories in the Treatment of
Disease. The majority of students go out into practice with very nebulous ideas
relative to the importance of these accessories, and they finally learn nearly all of
them from old women and nurses. Dr. Ruddock gives plain and brief directions as
to when and where they are needed, and in what they should consist, when used as
adjuncts to Homeopathic treatment.
“If we had hud such a work fifteen years ago, Homoeopathy would have profited
by it. To nine-tenths of old physicians, ofjlarge and long practice, it will prove an
excellent guide and assistance in the treatment of disease."—From The American
bserver, by Dr. E. M. HALE.
