A TREATISE UPON THE DISEASES AND HYGIENE OF THE ORGANS OF THE VOICE. By Colombat De L'Isère, Chevalier of the Royal Order of the Legion of Honor, Doctor of Medicine, Founder of the Orthophonic Institute of Paris for the Treatment of all Vices of Speech, Diseases of the Voice, etc. Translated by J. F. W. Lane, M. D. Price 50 cents.

The Diseases and Hygiene of the Organs of the Voice.-Colombat de L'Isère, a French physician, is the author of this work. He is known particularly in his own country for a marked devotion to the cure of the diseases of the organs of the voice, and as the founder also, of an institution in Paris, called orthophonic. Our neighbor, J. F. W. Lane, M. D., whose industry, scholarship, and good taste are appreciated by all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance, at the request of an eminent professor of elocution, and with a view to exciting more attention to a subject which seems not particularly well understood, undertook the translation of it. He has cautiously avoided all surgical details, and in simply following the author, has placed before the public a book of rare value, although so modest and unpretending in its appearance, that its real worth cannot be known without an examination. The chapter on chronic swelling of the tonsils, to a parent who for the first time is alarmed by the enlargement of those organs in his child, is worth more than the cost of the book. The simplicity of the style, and its freedom from technical language, fit it for common reading. Why should not vocalists, clergymen, members of the bar, and, in short, all public speakers, study this compendium, containing as it does so much that is truly useful respecting the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the vocal apparatus? Pupils in singing schools, likewise, and in those institutions just growing into notice, in which gymnastic exercises are taught upon principles of common sense, might study it to advantage. But those especially who are engaged in elocutionary pursuits, would derive from its pages such insight into the philosophy and management of the voice, as could perhaps nowhere else be obtained in a form so compact. Messrs. Otis, Broaders & Co., of this city, are the publishers.Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.
