From t Co ie l.238 8, eSlia,*0fd'1he Southi -0 The title of this well,known and valuable volume, is a comprehensnve one, and fully conveys the idea of its contents. It devel" Pipes, as it purports to do, the "resources of the Southern fields and forest; medical, commercial and agricultural;" and provides a complete "medical botany of the Southern States," far more comprehensive than any yet published-having, in fact, the advan tage of using all previous publications-of which Da. Poncm has made excellent use. It affords practical informationiof the most valiuable kind, in respect to the "use ftl properties of the trees, plants and shrubs,' abounding everywhere in the tropical vegetation of the South. All the conditions of this promise of the title are ful8 in Dthe opa this copious and mosy ; and, whether wa no t Othe planter, the peeath O eepe or the simple lthisOUld be a household book with all. Inriaef, it takes rank with the abeolutely nleoSry bistories of the coun" try; and where they exhibit little less than the strifes, the struggles, the wars, and the ,miserable politics of society, this volume throws us back upon God: shows us what have been the blessings and bounties we owe to'His hands; shows us where to turn for resource at the hour of need; shows the statesman how best to calculate the ptoba" Dis poodca of the soil; the farmer how to sva himaelf of its natural productions; the -domestic medieiner bow to meet the emerr, gencies of disease, from his native woods; and the domestic economist how to find in probably the most miserable weed, an herb of grace as well as utility, giving relief to his pains, and savor to his soups. Conveying almost every variety of instruc' tion on all these vital subjets, this volume of Da. Poncssa was admirably calcnated so meet the exigencies of the great civilwar, forced upon the Confederate States at a mo" meat when their materials in food, medicine, metals and machinery were almost wholly wanting; art and science, irrespective of simple agriculture, was deficient in training and experience, and when our people suf fered from privations which rendered neces sary the exercise of every agency to meet the exigences of daily life. The preparation of such a work as the preset, happily occurred to the Surgeon" General of the Confederate States; and with a like felicity of judgment. he chose for its the editor in whose able hands achieed the most singular success, and beame of general use throughout the war. Da. Poacsa brought to his task all the -essnials of study, science, thought and medical training so essential to the work. Tor 1g years, as physcian and surgeon, he had dwelt in charge of the hospitals, enjoy' ing daily opportualtes for experimental in estigatIons in Therapeutics and Practical Medicine. He bad made the best use of these opportunities; of most incorrigible in, dustry, his experiments were conducted through the nicest details, and s.ubjected to alt the most scientific tests. He was at once scientifcally and practically naturalist; an explorer of woods and forests; an analist of dteb. roots. and herbs-gifted with a hap 4py ~ickness in discriminating them, and an eA ey arto discovering their med* and qualities. *ftr,Jn ee studies s the open fields. di he- M..altaetf to the teachings simply of material nature. He was well read in the best books of science, and tested their al'. leged truths by his own experience. The eatalogeof scientidec works which he has examined. consti.utes, of itself a most cas pacious library. From the woods, fields and forests, the swamp and the rocks, from the er~a p -learned men,5 he turned ~j,e~~*a) ahrh,andiought sib l adlilctina the forester, the farmer and pitnssr, and old housekeepers, all that they could tell of their own discov eris< in the domestic province.

We can confidently say that it is the very best treatise on this sub ject to be had in the United States. Some of our readers in the interior may be surprised to learn that herbs, weeds, and other such "tra"h," that they have seen "run to seed" all their lives, should have a remarkable value. Such, however, is the case. From XIX Century, July, 1889. Treating specially of our medicinal plants, and of the be<t substitutes for foreign articles of vegetable origin; instructing the common mind how to select, collate and utilise sub" stances of great value; suggesting to the professions and trades, and to capitalists, ideas calculated to open new fields of profl, table research and experit ent-this work of Dr. Porcher is preeminently the most im. portant contribution te science and art, to the home and fireside, that has yet been made by any writer in the South * * * The work deserves careful study. The mer chant, factor, planter, farmer, physician and surgeon, mechanic-the representative of every sphere of activity. will find in it much that will gratify and reward. Notices of first edition. Opinion of Mr'. Ravenel, as expressed in a letter to the author. On the whole, I have been surprised at its general accuracy and freedom from typo graphical errors, knowing as I do from ex, perience, how difficult it is for the printers to be correct in scientific terms. The con, nectiun between practical medicine and Botany opens a vast, very vast, and almost unexplored field, and your book lays the foundation for its study and application. It will take its place at a standard wora on that subject, and in course of time will need corrections, additions and amendments. Oficial communication from Sur geon-General S. P. Moore, C. S. A.,-To the author upon the com pletion of the task assigned him. The comprehensive information displayed in the preparation of this work has been fully appreciated by the public, and very flattering notices of its issue have been giv en by the press to which it has been freely distributed, with the request that as many as possible of the more valuable extracts be republished. Permit me to say that your labors have met with the approval of this office which takes pleasure, whilst expressing its appre" clation of the manner in which you have accomplished the task unrtaken by you; at the same time to compliment you on the ability with which you have enlightened the fltsda. and society upon matters, a full nowledge of which is so important. The work has been distributed widely among the MDICaL OFFoxas. From Southern Illustrated News, Richmond, Va. We incline to the opinion, that a more useful work has never been issued from the American press. * * * Most particularly do we commend this work to the notice and acceptance of fami" lies and house wives, who would not sup. pose from the title that it contained any thing that would be specially saited to their tastes and wants. I'hey wtll discover that no hook of receipts ever published is more compact of serviceable hints and suggestions. Indeed in this point alone, it is worth all the . iqure Withins" and "Things Worth Knowing" that were got up with such pro" fusion fr sale in the Southern States It would be difficult to tell what may not be found within Its lids. From .. W. Ravenel (one of the most distinguished authorities on questions of Natural Science at the South. The title indicates the scope of Its ol@ject. It is to bring to notice the resources of our felds and forests, for medical, economical and agricultural purpoges. Dr. Forcher's previous researches and studies had well qualified him for such aw bors. His publications on our indigenous materia medica had famIliarized him with his subject, and enabled him to itse to -ad, vantage a vast amount of material which he had thus collected. Au extensive practice in the city of Charleston and the ocenpatiou of the Chair of Katerla Medica.i one of the Preparatory Schools, gave him ample op,. portunities of knowing and testing the va rlbus resources of the profession. bott milne ral and vegetable, whilst his fondiiess fur the natural sciences. combined with some familiarity with botany, enabled him to ap' ply his knowledge to the best advantage. Soon after the fafl of Norfolk, where he occupied the p lace of Hospital Surgeon, he was relieved from duty In the gield, and under direction of the Surgeon-General, had this duty assigned him. A better selection could not bave been made. From London Index, (Ene.) Notice of first Editor.
