"moins" for "plus," "cœur" for "foie," "medullaire" for "muscu. laire," "nervaux" for "osseux" and so on to a considerable amount of instances. Numerous notes and references of the author, omitted in the French translation, have likewise been restored.

Of the character of Meckles' work, we need scarcely speak. It holds a deservedly high place in the estimation of the first Anatomists of the day. There is a method, a minuteness and erudition about it, which make it one of the most interesting works, or what is generally considered one of the driest subjects. This, together with its mass of practical information, must render it a desirable acquisition to every medical man.

6. Directions for making Anatomical Preparations, formed on the basis of Pole, Marjolin, and Brischet, and including the new method of Mr. Swan. By USHER PARSONS, Professor of Anatomy and Surgery, Jefferson Medical College. Philadelphia. Carey & Lea, 1831. 8vo. pp. 303. (with plates.)

This is unquestionably one of the most useful works, on the preparation of anatomical specimens, ever published. It should be in the hands of every lover of anatomy, and as attention now is more directed to the formation of museums, it will be found a very valuable hand-book. Nothing is omitted that is important, and many new formulæ are introduced, derived from the author's experience, and from rare books, which he has had the industry to collect.

7. Remarks on the History and Treatment of Delirium Tremens. From the Transactions of the Massachusetts Medical Society. By JOHN WARE, M. D., Fellow of the Society. Boston, 1831. 8vo. pp. 61. Every thing connected with intemperance has received a certain impulse from the attention which the subject has so generally demanded within the last two or three years. We, however, disclaim the idea which has been promulgated with so much exaggera. tion, that we are a nation of drunkards. We grant that there is too intemperate a use of ardent spirits, but we cannot concede, that as a people, we are more obnoxious to a charge of excessive criminality, than are other nations. Still, although opposed to some of the means used, yet as good citizens, we rejoice that the excitement in the public mind has been productive of much good, not the least of which, perhaps, may be the number of treatises on Delirium Tremens.

Dr. Ware's little memoir adds to many publications, that have lately appeared on the subject to which he has here turned his attention. Although, not entering so minutely into the history and treatment, as has Dr. Cross in the prize essay we have commenced publishing in our present number, still Dr. W. has given us a wellwritten, interesting pamphlet. Some of the arguments and conclu. sions we cannot admit as sound, particularly those connected with the notions respecting the injurious efforts of opium in the treatment of Delirium Tremens, and trusting in preference to the spontaneous efforts of nature for a cure.

MISCELLANEOUS.

MEDICAL COLLEGE OF OHIO.

The Honorable the Board of Trustees having reorganized the Faculty of this Institution, it will consist hereafter of the following professors:

Jedediah Cobb, M. D., Anatomy.

Thomas D. Mitchell, M. D., Chemistry and Pharmacy.
James M. Staughton, M. D., Surgery.

John Eberle, M. D., Materia Medica and Botany.

John F. Henry, M. D., Obstetrics, and Diseases of Women and children.

John Morehead, M. D., Theory and Practice of Medicine.

Charles E. Pierson, M. D., Institutes of Medicine, and Medical Jurisprudence.

Daniel Drake, M. D., Clinical Medicine.

The course will commence on the last Monday of October, and will end the last day of February.

The aggregate expense of the tickets, including matriculation, is fixed at one hundred dollars; and the cost of graduation at twenty. five dollars.

The requisitions of candidates for graduation are,

1. Satisfactory certificates of having studied medicine with some reputable practitioner three years, and of having attended two full courses of Lectures; or,

2. Of having attended three successive courses of Lectures, and studied, as before, all the time between them; or,

3. Of having been in regular and reputable practice four years, and of having attended one full course of Lectures-on all the cases, the last course, at least, in this Institution.

The opportunities for the study of practical anatomy will be ample, and the lectures of the Professor, in addition to the usual means of elucidation, will be illustrated by the splendid preparations and plates recently purchased in Europe.

The Library consists of more than one thousand volumes of select works, chiefly European.

The Lectures on Clinical Medicine will be founded on the cases presented in the Commercial Hospital and Lunatic Asylum of Ohio. The Trustees are now engaged in the erection of an additional edifice, of such dimensions as will render the accommodations in every respect adequate.

The Medical Department of the Miami University having been

merged in the Medical College of Ohio, by the reorganization of the latter, there will be but one Medical School in Cincinnati next winter. By order,
