value. The last revision was in 1951, and Dr. Dorland died in 1956. The new edition has an Editorial Board consisting of Drs. Leslie B. Arey, William Burrows, J. P. Greenhill, and Richard Hewitt. In the last six years many new words and terms have been introduced in medicine, and probably more in the last decade than in any similar previous period. Included in this edition is a table of Modern Drugs and Dosage compiled b y Dr. Austin Smith. In order to hold the volume down in size, certain changes have been made, such as eliminating the detailed description of specific techniques. I n the biographical field only the names of Nobel prize winners have been added. An excellent type f o n t makes the dictionary easy to use.
A t l a s of Clinical Endocrinology. H. Lisser, M.D., and Roberto F. Eseamillo, M.D., St. Louis, 1957, The C. V. Mosby Co., 476 pages (148 plates, 3 in color). Price $18.75.
A beautifully illustrated atlas by two well-known endocrinologists from the dep a r t m e n t of medicine of the U~iversity of California Medical School in San Francisco. While the authors have not a t t e m p t e d a textbook on endocrinology, a b r i e f summary of each of the sixty-three different endocrine disorders is included. The 148 plates are made up of from four to fifteen illustrations. The material is almost entirely from the records of p a t i e n t s studied at their clinic in San Francisco. The photographs are unusually good and the reproductions clear. As so many of the endocrine disorders make their appearance in infancy and childhood, the subject is one of great interest to the pediatrician. The atlas should be of help to the practitioner in reaching a correct diagnosis and instituting treatment.
D i a b e t e s Mellitus. W i t h E m p h a s i s on Children and Y o u n g Adults. T. S. Danowski, M.D., Baltimore, 1957, Williams & Wilkins Co., 510 pages. Price $13.50.
An up-to-date text on the general subject of diabetes mellitus, with emphasis on children and young adults. P a r t one concerns biochemical and h o r m o n a l aspects; p a r t two, manifestations, diagnosis, and therapy; and p a r t three, developmental aspects and complications. The book should be of considerable value to the teacher and medical student because of the systematic way in which material is presented. The many references should make it valuable also to one conducting research in the field. A. F. H. A g e i n g in Transient Tissues. Ciba Foundation Colloquia on Ageing, vol. 2. Edited by G. E. W. Wolstenholme and Elaine C. P. lVfillar~ Boston, 1956, Little, Brown and Co., 263 pages. Price, $6.75.
This volume includes the papers presented at the second Colloquia on Ageing under the auspicles of the Ciba Foundation, July, 1955. The first was held in 1954. The theme of the second symposium was the ageing o:~ tissues whose normal life was shorter than t h a t of the organism as a whole. The papers in the report with the discussions largely involve changes in ovarian and placental tissues and human red blood cells. E . C . Amoroso of the Royal Veterinary College of London presided. Stuttering, ed. 2. Eugene 1~. Hahn, Stanford, Calif., 1956, S t a n f o r d U n i v e r s i t y Press, 180 pages. Price $4.00.
The first edition in 1943 went through three printings, the last in 1950. Dr. H a h n died in 1944, and the second edition has been prepared by Elsie S. Hahn. The text presents the various theories or opinions on the causes of s t u t t e r i n g as held by twenty-three different authorities. I t is a technical book for workers in the field rather than a text for the stutterer.
