Ricord, M.D., Surgeon of the Venereal Hospital of Paris, Clinical Professor of Special Pathology. Translated from the French by A. Sidney Doane, A.M., M.D. Thirteenth edition. One vol. 8vo. $1.50.

M. Ricord’s reputation as a lecturer and practitioner in Paris is of the highest order. He is distinguished for his sound and philosophical views upon a disease which carries terror wherever it appears, and whose consequences are often felt by the innocent as well as the guilty. The first part of the book partakes of the philosophical spirit of its author, while in the pages devoted to the treatment of syphilis, M. Ricord has spread out the results of thousands of cases coming under his observation.
