some of the dogmas which have been put forth to explain Christ, has come to look upon the Lord of the Gospels as invested with an atmosphere of mystery and uncertainty. He is the man who has heard it stated so often and so confidently that the announcement of two of the Evangelists of the virgin birth is something which no scientific mind can accept, and that the element of the miraculous and the supernatural in the Gospels is there because of the exaggerated and unenlightened veneration of the first believers in Jesus, that he has fallen into the trap of thinking Christ as One of whom we really know but little, and looks up the deification of Him by the church as an expression, simply, of ecclesiastical superstition." The Christ that inspired Swedenborg is depicted and the Bible viewed from that standpoint. Published by The New Church Press, New York. "Hay Fever, Its Prevention and Cure." Next to tuberculosis, hay fever is one of the most interesting and common diseases, and has received an enormous amount of study. While it is not directly fatal, it is exceedingly distressing, and is certain, by its annual visitation, to lower the vital resistance and induce other illness in the body. In this way it becomes a prolonged and serious menace to the comfort and happiness of the sufferer. The author has had remarkable and uniform success with a simple treatment of hay fever for the last twenty years. He locates it as an external irritant, possibly containing a micro-organism, or a toxin, which becomes especially active in the nasal passages of the individual predisposed by systemic debility or local abnormality. The author has compiled, arranged and annotated the most worthy literature on the subject, and in addition has contributed to the larger part of the book his all-important point-the successful treatment of hay fever. Dr. W. C. Hollopeter, the author, was for twentyfive years professor of pediatrics in the Medico-Chirugical College of Philadelphia. Price, $1.25 net. Published by Funk & Wagnalls Co., New York. "Lights and Shadows in Confederate Prisons," by Homer B. Sprague, Bvt. Colonel 13th Connecticut Volunteers. Sometime Professor in Cornell, and President of the University of North Dakota. According to the author this narrative of prison life differs from all others in that it is careful to put the best possible construction upon the treatment of Union prisoners by the Confederates, and to state and emphasize kindness and courtesies received by them. The book's accuracy is indebted to a diary kept from day to day by the author during the whole of his imprisonment, and to the best obtain.able records. He was taken prisoner at Winchester, and has a deal to say of that battle and his vivid and exciting experiences there. The book is full of first hand information on human beings staked in battle, and the apprising reader will no doubt use this book as a stepping stone to realize the problems of some of the awful sacrifices made in the present titanic war.
