to see a third edition of Mr . Birrell ' s charming papers . He is one of the few authors who write too little . In the present book , if his
subjects are not new , his manner of treating them is fresh , and there are few keener literaryleasures in life than to find old time-worn

Walters , M . D . The author explains that the aim of this work is two-fold—first to enable its readers to avoid many common ailments
by a knowledge of their causes and premonitory symptoms , and to give simple directions for the early treatment of accidents or illness .
The medicinal formulae given are intended to be used where a doctor cannot be obtained . The use and nature of drugs are explained as
far as possible , and there can be no doubt that , by an intelligent following of the prescriptionsmany a death could be obviated .
The most , useful part of the book , however , is that which deals with preventive medicine . Dr . Walters believes that prevention is better
than cure ; it is easier to keep health than to regain it , and in this respect the book is likely to prove particularly useful . Dr . Walters
