In the preface, the author gives four reasons for the writing of this test: (1) the need (2) the need to broaden the scope of the test material to of subject-matter reorganization; embrace more comprehensively the areas of inheritance and developmental anatomy ; (3) the need to give depth and substance to the subject matter so that it might be more attuned to recent dcvelopmcnts derived from the more sophisticated rosearch techniques, such as electron microscopy, diffraction, histochemistry, isotope tracers, rr~icroradiograpl~y, etc.; and (4) to indicate the areas of discord which need rlarifieation.

This is a text for French students of odontostomatology as well as for the general prac titioner who desires to use anesthesia. It deals xvith local or regional anesthesia and includes a tliseusnion of accidents of a local and general nature. The discussion of general anesthesia ineludes all types of inhalation anesthesia, ether, c~hloroform, ethyl chloride, nitrous oxide ant1 oxygen, and rycloprolxtne, with their signs and symptoms. I’reancst~lietic physical examinations ant1 premeditation are recommended. Intravenous anesthesia is especially recwnm~endetl for operations of long duration. The pharmacology and the techniques of administration for both short and prolonged operations arc described. E~ndotrac~heal intubation is recomrr~ended to prevent the effects of laryngospasm. The methods of oral and nasal intubation arc well described and illustrated. A\ chapter on inciclcnts and accidents during general anesthesia follows, with still another chapter devoted to the prevention and treatment of these complications. ‘lb last part of the book gives, in a schematic manner, iudications and counterindications as well as choice of technique for various contemplated procedures-extraction of teeth, avulsion of teeth in eases eomplieated by trismus, incision of suppurative conditions, cellulitis ant1 l~hlcgmons, osteitis, osteomyelitis, benign and malignant tumors, and fractures. E’inally, anesthesia is discussed from the point of view of general diseases tllat the patient may present, such as various cardiac conditions, dial)etes, alcoholism, and hemorrhagic disease. Anesthesia after irratliation for malignant disease is included. There is also a discussion of tile use of anestllesia at various age lwriods, such as illfanc~y, adultl~ond (including l~r~~g:‘ll:rrlcy au11 laelatiou), iln11 geriatric states. I<.
