Book
regarding severa surgica1 conditions. A chapter is devoted to shock and hemorrhage and IocaI anesthesia. There is a chapter devoted to the topic of cancer and two chapters to neurosurgery. Surgery of the mouth and pharynx; pIastic surgery; the thyroid and parathyroid; the heart and bIood-vesseIs; chest surgery; the abdomina1 waI1 and hernia; the stomach; the peritoneum and Iarge intestine; the gaI1 bIadder; the urogenita1 system; the surgery of bones, joints and muscIes; and venerea1 disease, pIus an index, comprise the book. This may seem a whoIe Iot in one book of Iess than five hundred pages, but the author has wiseIy eIiminated the apparent and unnecessary, he has avoided discussion and knows the art of saying a lot in very few words. To surgeons we recommend this book.

From this premise the authors have written a spIendid treatise covering the entire fieId. The iIIustrations, over 700 in number, are we11 seIected and we11 reproduced. There is no padding; the book is fuI1 of meat and appears to be thoroughIy up to date. References are made in the form of concise footnotes and there is no bibIiography added. Theexcessive use of boId faced type is a bit startling and interferes with consecutive reading; for quick reference, however, this may be found very desirable.
