Book Reviews COUGH SYNCOPE, by Vincent J. Derbes, and Andrew Kerr, Jr., M.D. Published by Charles C Thomas, Springfield, Illinois, 1955, 182 pages. This small volume has all of the characteristics of excellent medical writing. Historical discussion of its topic is given in a fascinating manner portraying the thoroughness and competence of the authors in gathering pertinent information. Inclusion of thirty-six concise case histories serves as an expedient means for conveying relevant data. Ample space is devoted to the differential diagnosis of related conditions. The chapter dealing with theories of the mechanism of cough syncope is rich in minute details and elucidating comments. In other chapters, exposition of the physiologic mechanism as well as the medico-legal aspects of cough syncope reflects critical insight and judicious objectivity. Because of the noteworthy text, good bibliography and precise artisanship in the production of this book, it is likely to enjoy great popularity with the medical profession. Andrew L, Banyai, M.D,
