302 CHARLOTTE MEDICAL JOURNAL. , 62 unusual turn of phrase. This is not the style in greatest vogue now, but it is well to have some authors who still retain the old tradition that the language of a novel should be in itself beautiful, artistic, as well as apt for the exposition of the story. There is passion and crudeness in the characters of "His Vanished Star," but one knows that the author is beyond and above that ; content in the calm of her creative power. She is in the world she has made, but she is not of it. Sandow on Physical Training. Edited by G. Mercer Adam. Profusely illustrated from Life Studies. New York: J. Selwin Tait & Sons. Pp. xvi. 244. Price, $3.50. Eugene Sandow is conceded to be the strongest man, physically, and the most symmetrical, in the world, and this book gives, on his own authority, his simple method of physical education and his views on the physiology of gymnastics, the function of the muscles, etc., together with a comprehensive biographical sketch, in which is noted many of his marvelous feats of strength. The book is also one of the most sumptuous works ever published on the subject of athletics, being printed on extra heavy paper, with wide margins, embellished with marginal illustrations ; but its greatest value lies in the fact that its subject matter is presented in a way likely to be of solid value to every man and woman, and every young person of either sex, who comes to its perusal with any intelligence whatever. His system is simplicity itself; it calls, not for abstinence, but rather for temperance in everything^ The basis of it all is work ; never too much work for the whole body, or any set of muscles, but the work must not be fitful or intermittent; it must be steadily continued, and always up to a nearly full quantity of work before resting. Sandow is now 27 years old, but at the age of 10 he was by no means a strong boy, although healthy and well formed. Among the chapters of especial value are those on hygenic and medical gymnastics, exercise and the bodily functions, the chief muscles, where they are situated, and what they do, with full pictorial explanation, as is also the case with the concluding chapter on the most profitable exercises. The Romance oe a Transport. By W. Clark Russell. 121110, pp. 404. New York: Cassell Publishing Co. $i. Here is a little trio of recent English novels. "The Green Bay Tree," which called forth very varied criticisms from the British
