ASPECTS OF THE ELECTROCARDIOGRAM, INCLUDING THE CARDIAC By Harold E. B. Pardee, M.D. Pp. 295, with 74 illustrations. B. Hoeber, Inc., 1933, third edition.

ARRHYTH-

York,

The fact that this excellent manual has now required a third edition is eloquent testimony both to the merit of the book as a clinical guide and to the rapid growth of the science of clinical electrocardiography. The latter has made necessary extensive rewriting of many of the chapters and the addition of much new material. It is interesting to note that in the discussion of the localization of ventricular premature beats and of the myocardial lesions giving rise to bundle-branch block, the more recent views as to localization are accepted by the author. This new edition fully merits a. continuance of the popularity earned by the earlier ones. INFARTO

Professor Castillo’s book on cardiac infarction should be of interest and value to Spanish-speaking physicians. No new facts or startling theories are expressed, but the different aspects of coronary thrombosis are discussed from the author’s experience and from his wide knowledge of the literature, and reports of 39 cases -some with post-mortem observations-are included. The material is arranged in orderly sequence; the volume is generously illustrated; and there is a long bibliography. Evidences of hasty proof reading mar an otherwise excellent book. E.
