Leborgne is to be commended for his luci(d portrayal of the role of roentgenology in the diagnosis of breast lesions. The refined teehnillues of his clinic represent years of study and experience. The roentgenographic findings are well correlated with gross and microscopic pathology in a myriad of conditions. The limitations of this type of examination must not be overlooked. Not only will the physical condition of the breast but also the training and experience of the roentgenologist influence the accuracy of this type of x-ray examination. In the present day when surgery constitutes the major therapeutic approach t.o breast lesions, few roentgenologists will have the opportunity or need to become expert in the techniques so graphically described in this book.

The Book of Health is an excellent compilation of general medical information suitable dissemination to the lay public. The style of presentation is new and progressive. contributors are eminently qualiiled. Briefly, the book is divided into twenty-eight chapters. After introductory chapters describing the beginning of life and the normal development of the infant to adulthood, each major organ system is then described anatomically and physiologically in health and disease. The remaining chapters discuss nutrition, sickness at home, first aid, tropical diseases, sanitation, forensic medicine, the history of medicine, and the relationship between the medical and allied professions. for The
