Tuberculosis of the Lymphatic System. By RICHARDH. MILLER, M.D., F.A.C.S., Assistant Professor of Surgery Harvard Medical School. Pp. 248 . Price I7S. Macmillan and Co., New York, I934. This is a practical book by an author who has gained his experience at the bedside rather than in the laboratory. Descriptions of tuberculosis of the cervical, tracheo-bronchial, abdominal axillary, inguinal, and other groups of glands will be found, with full details of treatment. In the early chapters the anatomy and biology of the lymphatic system are described, and one chapter is devoted to modes of entrance and spread of disease. References are given at the end of each chapter, and there are many excellent illustrations. Tuberculosis of the lymph glands is rapidly becoming less common, arid the author thinks is it gradually disappearing in the United States of America. The recognition of the lymphatic system as a protection and as a channel of spread is of the utmost importance, and this work was much needed and forms a welcome addition to the literature of tuberculosis.
